Eli immediately looked at him. "What? I'm not worried." He lied. 
Demetri wasn't convinced. "Uh huh. Don't think I forgot that little encounter between you two at lunch." 
"T-That was nothing.  She was just being nice."
Oliver Benson came walking into the gym with full confidence and followed behind him. "Looking good, boys."  He announced over the music. His muscles showed through his blue and red Spider-Man costume. 
Miguel smiled at them. "Hey, Oliver. Hey, Gray."
"Spiderman. Nice." Hummed Demetri, observing the costume. His eyes shifted to Grayson's Slytherin robes. "I would've chosen Ravenclaw, personally."
"They would have kicked me out."
"Where's the girls?" Miguel questioned.
Oliver checked the watch that he wasn't wearing. "Well, knowing Hailey, she likes to be fashionably late, which always makes Odessa late.  So, I'd say they're about to walk in."  He noticed the quiet boy standing with them.  "Hey man,  thanks for telling Hailey about what happened with Dess. I think she made her feel a lot better." 
Eli blushed red behind the surgical mask. "O-Oh,  it's not a problem." He stuttered. 
With his hands on his hips, Oliver observed everyone dancing when he saw two people enter the gym. He smiled. "There's our girls!"
She was an angel. Figuratively and literally. Blonde hair and piercing eyes dressed with little silver jewels to resemble eyeliner. She was dressed in all white while Hailey was all red, red jewels aligning her eyes as well. Eli had to pull down the surgical mask to breath properly.
Odessa and Hailey approached them. Oliver held up his drink. "Looking slutty as ever, Hailey."
She faked a smile and flipped him off with both fingers. 
Odessa smiled at Eli. "Are you a doctor?" She asked him over the loud music, taking in his costume. 
He leaned closer to her so that she could hear him. "Plastic surgeon.  I fix lips."  He told her. 
She nodded and smiled again. "I like it."
Hailey was getting bored of standing around. "Are we going to party or what?" 
"It's a sophomore dance, Hailey," said Miguel, his brows pinched together although it wasn't viable behind his skeleton makeup.
"And?" She casually pulled out a flask from inside her tall red boot. She smirked and grabbed Grayson's arm. "Come on, Gray."
"I'm going to go mingle. I think I saw Asher Torres dressed as Captain America." Oliver announced and took off. 
Miguel's eyes went wide. "Wait, so he's—"
"Gay? Very much so." Odessa laughed. 
Eli sighed in relief. The blonde girl turned to him again and leaned toward him. "Are you having fun?"
He lowered the surgical mask. "I-I am now." He stuttered uncontrollably and almost groaned.
