“Well, this is... new.” Adam turned to the person beside her. She hadn’t been to a haunted house hosted by a school before, it wasn’t frightening which was disappointing, but at least it was entertaining. She’d invited herself down to the events having no one else to go with yet. Sure she knew a few people here but knowing that she was going to have to stay here for the next few years made her a little nervous about being so confident. She was usually unapologetic because she knew she could move on and probably never see her fellow students again, that was starting to change a little now. “I guess it’s nice they’re trying though, right?” 

After only being in the festivities for an hour or so, Edison could tell that some of the students were quite drunk. He hadn’t thought much of it when he saw a girl fall over- she’d been wearing heels after all. And he still didn’t consider that alcohol was at play after some rowdy students began throwing toilet paper rolls around the gardens, he had of course stopped them and enlisted some other teachers to help clean up their mess but he wasn’t considering substance abuse. He trusted his students too much sometimes... that became clear when he noticed a girl throwing up in the bushes and had to take her to the infirmory, that was when he connected the dots. 

The girl was in good hands with Katie, he knew that all too well. Immediately after leaving the halls he went over to the beverages table and stopped a student who seemed particularly unsteady on their feet, foldeding his arms over his chest and trying not to sound too dissapointed. “Are you going to tell me where the alcohol is, or do I have to call off the party and search everyone?” 

This was the first time Cay had really been out of her dorm room since she posted her coming out statement on her Instagram. She’d been to classes and to get food, but otherwise she’d hidden away and tried to give herself time to be ready to face other people. But tonight was Fairfield's Halloween event, and she could go in a mask. Her fellow students would probably still recognise her but it made her feel better to know that in the dark, underneath a cheap wolf mask, she might seem to be the slightest bit anonymous tonight. She was still trying to be comfortable with herself. 

Cay was making her way through the funhouse in the halls by herself, her mask covering her face enough to avoid most of the other students talking to her. She was a little sad that she hadn’t planned something with someone, all the people around her seemed to be having a good time as she simply passed them. A familiar looking figure stepped infront of her and she recognised them almost immedaitely, surprised that they were alone too. They didn’t seem entirely happy at that moment either so she figured she may as well catch their attention. “You look as dead as I feel.” She heard her voice carry across the hall as she stepped over to them, pulling her mask up and letting it rest on her head.
