Y/NS POV:

Joyce drops off me and Will at school. He's dressed up as one of the ghostbusters. He looks like an idiot. I think i should have told him no one's dressing up. Except for Mike, Lucas, and Dustin. We climb out of the car and make our way to the bike racks to meet the others. I try my hardest not laugh at them. They don't seem to notice. No one is dressed up besides them. Mike and Lucas got into some argument over which ghostbuster they are.

I seemed to be zoning out because someone bumped into me. I didn't see who it was though. I shrug it off and look at my friends. "Wait, why is no one dressed up?" Lucas questions. I laughed and they all looked at me in confusion," No one is dressed up besides you guys. HAPPY HALLOWEEN FUCKERS!!" I yelled before walking into school.

"What a bunch of idiots" i said to myself as i make my way down the hallway to my locker. I unlock my locker and get my stuff for class. The locker on my left opened and closed. She was leaning up faints her locker. "Hey." I said, not making eye contact with her. "Hi." she says back. We sit there in a comfortable silence.

I close my locker and face her. " What do you want Max?" I question her. She stared at me a few seconds. "How come you aren't all dressed up like your weirdo friends?" She crosses her arms. I copy her action,"I don't do halloween or dress up." She nods."What about you why aren't you dressed up like a pretty princess?" I smirk.

MAX's POV:

He smirks at me. I smile at him,"I don't like princesses and I don't dress up." He nods. He then looks at something behind me, i turn around to see what he was looking at. 'His weirdo friends are here again?!'

Y/NS POV:

I watched as Lucas and Dustin walk up to her. They started to ask her about trick or treating with them. I roll my eyes and walk to class. I hate school. Almost as much as Dr. Brenner. 'Almost'

TIME SKIP: brought to you by Nancy's guns

I stayed home during halloween night. Everyone was out trick or treating. And in all honesty i don't want to be around anyone right now. Someone knocks on my door. I know it's Joyce she's the only one here. "Come in." i say bluntly. She opens my door and sits down next to me.

" Y/N honey, why didn't you go trick or treating with Will and them?" she asks me in a sweet, caring voice. "I just didn't want to." I shrug my shoulders while i said this. Joyce then asks a question i'm not sure what the answer is." What's wrong ?" I looked her dead in the eyes. "I don't know."

She looks at me worriedly. "Will told me you burnt a bag cheesepuffs out of anger at the arcade," I nodded in agreement, that did happen,she continues talking ," And you seem more on edge and irritated than normal." 'She's noticed my behavior. What if she kicks me out or sends me away?' I start to overthink and panic,"I- I have to go." I leave the room as fast as possible.

As i'm walking i can hear Joyce's footsteps after me," Y/N WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" She yells after me. I walk to the front door and accidentally melted the door handle. I left the door open and ran. It's the only thing i'm truly good at. Running. Running away from my problems, running away to avoid conflict. My reason right now for running. Is so i don't panic and let my feeling get the best of me. I run and i run and run. And i don't look back.

I feel myself growing dizzy. I look around and the world is spinning. I hear someone yell," Y/N!" then i collapse on the ground.
