Keeping on top of your academics while simultaneously keeping up with your duties as student disembodied president is no easy task. That’s why you often found yourself spending late nights at Monster High’s library, working on projects, studying for tests and getting your homework done. You often found the tiring, endless nights to be manageable, but this week the strenuous work had taken quite the toll on you and it was obvious to everyone, especially Holt Hyde.
Holt was quite your opposite, especially when it came to school. He never seemed bothered or fazed by the pressure of it, but rather spent his days having as much reckless fun as he could. “Opposites attract”, or so the saying goes. Inspite of your differences, you couldn't help fall head over heels for this boy you never thought you could even get along with.
As you sat yourself down at the cafeteria the next morning, Holt caught sight of you. An unusual, but concerned frown spread across his face as he turned to get a better look at you.
‘Are you feeling well?’ He asked quietly, gentler than his usual self.
You nod, resting your head on the table, ‘Just tired’ you mumble in response, ‘I’ve got far too many presentations pending for just this week alone.’
Holt sighed, brushing your hair away from your face, ‘You need to take things easier on yourself, spark.’ he hummed, ‘How about this, why don't we sneak out tonight hm? Just, me and you into the graveyards.’
‘I’m not so sure about that..’ you looked up at him, uncertain and worried about your work.
Holt smiles. That stupid, yet charming smile. ‘Come on now, just a night off won't do you much harm will it?’ he assured, ‘You could use the break, spark. You’ve been working your ass off for weeks now.’
You look at him, still a bit wary but instead let out a sigh, leaning against him a bit for warmth and support, ‘Okay. Midnight?’
‘Midnight.’ he smiled.

As the clock struck midnight, you headed out into the graveyard, hood over your head to keep your cover. You raised your gaze, spotting your favorite blue boy sat under a tree, earphones on. Sitting down next to him, you catch his attention.
‘Miss me, sparky?’ he grins.
That stupid but charming smile, yet again. You can't help but let out a chuckle, ‘Well obviously’ you snuggle a bit against him.
He smiled, helping you up and leading you a bit further away from anyone’s sight, to a blanket set up on the grass. He brings the two of you his backpack, stuffed to the brim with treats. All of both of your favorites. You can't help but keep falling for him everytime.
Holt chuckles, ‘I know you love to eat the stress away’ he teased lightly. You watch him fondly as he sets everything up, leaning in close to kiss his cheek when he’s done.
He holds up your favorite book, ‘Maybe we can try reading together?’ he suggests, handing you one of his earphones to listen with him.You snuggle closer into him, reading out loud as he lays in your lap.
For a minute, you think he’s watching the stars, with his gaze directed above but surely enough, as time passes, you come to realize he’s looking at you. He’s staring with the same fond love sick gaze that you have for him and you can't help but slowly gaze back with the same fondness.
