"I hate halloween."

That's what Harry says three weeks before halloween when his stupid group of friends brainstorms for plans.

That's also what Harry says five days before halloween, finding himself being dragged along by said stupid friend group into a costume shop. It's all full of cheap materials, basic and boring costumes that are made ridiculously fetishising in the women's section.

And it's also what Harry says on the day of halloween at five pm when Taylor and Barbara make it their mission putting on his makeup, Liam and Zayn are trying to figure out how to put on their costumes, Niall is struggling to put a wig on his own head.

Harry says it again, when they take the tube together going to this stupid park.

He doesn't want to go there. Oh, what he would give to be in his bed right now, in comfortable clothes and with a cup of tea and a nice Netflix show, a romcom maybe. He would rather be in the library studying for exams to be honest, as long as it meant not being here.

He's not someone who pretends to hate things everybody loves just to be different. He's most definitely not. He can have fun, totally. He's a very fun guy. And he loves his friends, he really does.

But the thing is, they're all such extroverts and they always have to go to parties because they're popular and get invited to every single party or social gathering. Harry always needs to charge his social battery before and after those nights.

He gets overwhelmed by crowds easily, and he prefers staying in with a small group of people that he really knows and loves, have a few glasses of wine and play some games or chat for hours. He goes to parties regularly, not because he's scared of missing out, but because he can definitely enjoy them if he's in the right mood.

But halloween is a different kind of game. It's meant to be scary. Meant to put him out of his element, confuse him and fuck him up. He thought they could have one of those murder mystery dinners with their small group, or maybe go to a party at someone's house. He would've had the time to prepare his battery for a house party.

Today, on halloween, the group was invited to at least seven, and it would have been fine because Harry would have been able to have fun, and if it got worse he would have been able to leave and go home or stay close to Niall or something. Everything would have been good, perfect even. Harry was excited for halloween.

But his friends decided to reject every single offer and do something only the six of them. That way, he can't really ditch them, has to tag along. And the worst of all, he hates being scared. It's always been that way, Harry despises horror movies and any form of haunted houses or haunted something in amusement parks, but his friends decided to ignore that significant fun fact about him and chose to go to a haunted park for halloween.

You know, these things where people get payed to walk around with scary masks on their faces and sneak up to you and scare you and make you shit your pants in fear. Harry is kind of scared that might happen, he's already shaking and they're not even there yet.

Niall dragged him to some haunted rollercoasters before, but at least then he was in a moving cart and couldn't actually be reached by the dress-up zombies. It's a different story if he's on his feet and someone could just walk up to him and get into his personal space. That's what he hates the most.

But since he's not a bore, and since he really dearly loves his friends, he's here, in a costume. He sits between Liam and Zayn who wear matching costumes (Mario and Luigi), in front of him is Niall, dressed as Regina George from mean girls and then there are Barbara and Taylor, Taylor as Ken and Barbara as Barbie because of her name.
