           “Don’t you… work at the gas station?” Otis has to talk loudly over the music. The only reason he ended up at this party was because of Eric, and since his best friend had ditched him to try to impress their classmates, Otis was just standing in a corner. But he recognized her, and a little bit of conversation wouldn’t hurt. He tried to picture her name tag. “Um… Augustina, right?” / @ghoststain

YOU GOT : THE MOON
