"Hi guys, Good morning.."
Aiden tried greeting them as casually as he could before he nervously took a seat among them.
At that time, Aiden could not help but felt like he was a foreigner entering a hostile country on a day pass.
It was Joey who first broke the ice as he attempted to start a conversation with Aiden.
"So Aiden, do you have any Halloween plans for the night?"
Ohh?? It is Halloween??? I completely forget that it was.
When Aiden was reminded about the date, he just blinked an eye.
But of course, he did not voice out what he was thinking.
Just like Christmas and any other occasions, it seemed that they all just sneaked up in him every year ever since his mother passed away
He no longer worried himself about the dates since there was no difference to what it was to him every day, anyway.
Among those people who were living an ordinary life, no one would claim to be the first if Aiden would decide to say that he was second.
After all, his life was superordinary that no one could be more ordinary than his life already was
His super ordinary life was second to no one!
"No, I don't have any exciting plans tonight. But I might watch a scary movie or something...."
Aiden trailed off.
It was only after hearing himself said that aloud did Aiden realized how an 'absolute loser' he sounded.
But he still decided to shrug his shoulder and flashed them a smile.
'So what??? What's wrong about spending Halloween alone on a movie marathon and with a pit of ice cream at hand??'
Aiden assured himself.
Aiden could only hope that Clark and the others would start to forget that he was there and just continue to talk to themselves just like what they usually did.
So he could sneak back to his station and escaped them.
But that was not the case for him, as another one of his workmates asked him.
"So, do you have a girlfriend, Aiden?"
Aiden was obviously flustered upon hearing the question.
But before he could even recover from his initial surprise and answered back, Clark suddenly burst out laughing.
"Oh good Lord no! I have never seen him with a girl before. I bet he is still a virgin! HAHAHA"
'Things was going bad to worse now...'
He whispered to himself.
Aiden could felt that his cheeks were starting to turn into the bright shade of red and he began to silently pray for the horrible gray carpet to open up and swallowed him.
"Nope. I don't have a girlfriend at the moment.."
Aiden replied awkwardly.
Joey smiled sadly at him and said,
"That is such a shame. You know dude, with a bit of hairstyling and a good outfit. I bet you would look really nice."
'Err.. was that meant to be a compliment or an insult?'
And again, before Aiden could have a chance to reply, Clark once again waded into conversation with the tact as a bull in a china shop.
"That is one thing that I could never understand about you, Aiden. You always prefer going out looking like that. How are you going to attract some babes and chicks if you will continue being like
that?"
'Babe and chicks??? No thanks, I don't have any plans to start a poultry business as of the moment..'
That was what Aiden wanted to say but of course, he decided otherwise.
Instead, he stood up and said.
"Okay now, why don't we start preparing our station instead of focusing on my nonexistent love life?"
But Clark pulled him back to his seat before he could even get away.
"No, we should focus on fixing your nonexistent love life. I think you need to be corrupted, Aiden Jones"
"I certainly wish not to be corrupted"
Aiden said sheepishly.
"I think you do, and I know just how. Tonight we are going to a frat house Halloween party and you are going to come with us."
Clark declared without waiting for Aiden's consent.
