NEON LIGHTS CAPSULATED around Hadley while her throat burned from the toxicity of the vodka shot she was taking. Music thudded through her ears and sweat dripped down her skin, pooling in the fabrics of her Little Red Riding Hood costume.
Hadley stumbles through the steamy fraternity hallway and weasels her way through the house full of drunken teenagers. A exhilarated giggle erupted from her throat as she spun around inevitably running into the muscular back of her friend, Chad.
He turned around curiously and Hadley's face lit up with glee. "Chad-ster!" she squealed as she playfully threw her arms around his neck.
Chad let out a surprised mumble before laughing, hugging her back. "Hey, Hads. When'd you get here?"
Hadley pulled away from his close embrace and looked down at her bare wrist. "Hm, I don't know. Like an hour ago?" Chad nodded. "What are you boys up to?"
Chad looked over to Ethan, standing against the wall quietly in his cardboard robot costume. "We were just about to get Ethan in the playing field."
An unfamiliar ache appeared deep in Hadley's chest at those words. "Oh?"
Ethan shook his head. "No, we weren't."
Chad nods, patting his friend's back. "Sure, we were. Uh... what about her?"
Ethan and Hadley crank their heads to see the girl whom Chad seemed to be pointing out. She was gorgeous, by all means, dressed in a slightly skimpy Harry Potter costume, smiling and dancing with her friends.
Ethan shrugs, looking at her seemingly uninterested. "She's.. pretty."
Hadley turns toward him and Chad furrows his brows, looking at his friend/roommate questionably. "What? Not your type?"
Ethan looks over at them with a slight shrug of his shoulder. "I don't know. I just... I think I'm kinda interested in someone else."
Ethan's eyes meet hers for a fleeting moment and heat rushes to her cheeks, enflaming them and she feels her stomach knot. "Great. Ask her out," Chad says quickly.
Ethan seemed terrified at that command. "No, I can't."
Chad immediately started bouncing on his toes, patting the cardboard box circulating Ethan's chest. "Ask her out. Ask her out. Ask her out."
Hadley giggles lightly when Ethan says, "Shut up!"
"Look, you gotta have confidence. If you like her, you gotta make the first move! Plus, look at you, man! You're a snack! Practically an entire meal all on your own," Chad encourages.
Ethan looks at him hopefully. "Really?"
"Yeah. You're Ethan Landry." Chad glances over at Hadley. "Tell him, Hads."
