Nish arrived at the party a little late, feeling very out of place among all the other costumes people were wearing. She hadn’t had time to find a proper ‘halloween costume’ to go with her mask (which Stephan insisted she put on before she was allowed in), but instead had fallen back on a dress she’d worn years ago to a party she could barely remember. There had been lots of alcohol and drugs involved, but the dress still fit nicely, so she settled for that. Let other people decide for themselves what she was ‘dressed as’.
She didn’t see James yet, so she found her way to the food table with the hilariously themed options, choosing a ‘foot’ for herself and a glass of red punch. After downing two cups of the stuff she realized just why she liked the candy flavoured drink so much and carefully stepped away from the table, holding onto the edge of it for a moment and looking around with a hint of guilt.
She finally spotted James approaching her and managed a smile for him, but it faded soon after when he got closer. “The red one is spiked,” she said quietly, gesturing to her empty glass on the table, uncomfortably, enjoying its effects far far too much.
