Head Over Heels - Chapter 1
(The Creature x Reader)
A Lisa Frankenstein (2024) fanfic
YOU THOUGHT I WASN’T GONNA POST DIDN’T YA??? Nah I’ve just been doing other things. We’re gonna have ONE more chapter after this one and then… we meeting our boy. Enjoy!
~~~
1989, Brookview, Indiana
As you reapplied your mascara for the fourteen billionth time, you let out a sigh. It was the first semester of your freshman year and Taffy was determined to drag you along with her to your first rager. You had fought her for years when it came to you attending parties. They were your own personalized hell, too much smoke and alcohol and noise, and for the past three years of high school, you had explained this to Taffy. Somehow, for some reason, she had respected your decision and you had successfully avoided them.
On the condition that you would go to one when you were a senior.
Unfortunately for you, you now had to actually fulfill that promise.
Taffy couldn’t be happier about it, though.
You had been struggling with your hair, face, outfit, everything since you’d gotten home from school. It was a Friday, so you couldn’t use the school night excuse on your father.
Even if you tried to, you doubted he would keep you home. These days he seemed exhausted with you, too wrapped up in his own business to care to listen to your silly teenage problems. You thought that he’d be more dad-like these days, his kid going into their senior year, but no. Anytime you complained, he retorted that you should just be more like Taffy. She didn’t have problems! Maybe join the cheer team! He’s sure she’d teach you the ropes!
He didn’t care to know you would rather drop dead then join the cheer team.
Anyways, back to you. Getting ready, yes. You grabbed a jean-jacket littered with patches you had stitched on yourself. You had a job with a local tailor in town and you’d always loved to sew. You considered yourself an artsy person, fascinated with the art of creation. This patched jacket was an especially loved project of yours, a sort of comfort jacket. So, it was coming with you.
After putting it on and glancing at yourself one last time in the mirror, you heard a honk outside your door. Taffy.
You shut off your bathroom radio, currently blaring “Keep On Loving You” by REO Speedwagon, a favorite of yours. You hummed the rest of the song as you zipped around your bathroom, grabbing a shoe here and chapstick there, shoving things in your bag and absentmindedly combing through your hair with your fingers. One final check later and you were speeding through your house, running out of your bathroom, through your room, down the stairs, past the living room, and straight towards the door, grabbing the handle and yanking it open.
You gasped and squinted as you walked out of your house, taken aback. Taffy’s car lights were on and pointed directly at you, completely blinding. As your eyes adjusted, your stomach began to turn as you recognized the cherry red of her car.
There was no going back now.
You saw Taffy in the drivers seat, excitedly smiling and waving at you.
This was gonna be a long night.
~~~
“So… are you hot for anyone?”
Oh my god, Taffy would not shut up.
Yeah, you two had been friends for… forever at this point, but didn’t she know you well enough by now to understand how you worked? You were already going out on a limb here, why did she delight in torturing you? You didn’t talk a lot, you rarely had crushes! Why did she act like you were like everyone one else?
“Taffy, that’s gross.” You replied, groaning.
“It’s not gross! It’s human, (Y/N). There has to be someone at school you think is cute.” She looked at you grinning.
A thought popped into your head. You knew it wasn’t what she wanted to hear, but you couldn’t help yourself.
Your eyes shifted to look out the window. “I mean…”
Taffy gasped. “That wasn’t a no! Details, details!”
You giggled a bit at her enthusiasm. Perky as she was, she was fun.
“There’s… someone who doesn’t go to our school, I guess.”
Taffy nodded aggressively, bouncing in her seat.
Now, you knew very well that you weren’t interested in anyone at school, but you could… stretch the truth a bit. For her sake. Make her think there was still a chance for you.
“We don’t talk much, but… when I see him, he’s sweet.”
“AHHHHHHHHHHHH-“ Taffy let out a high-pitched squeal, causing your eyes to close tightly.
“Can you not?!?” You tried your best to maintain an annoyed expression, but her genuine happiness for you made your smile impossible to hide.
“What school does he go to??” Taffy was glancing back and forth at you and the road.
“He’s homeschooled.”
“Ooh, so he’s like, freakishly smart?”
“Yeah, freakishly.”
“Does he have more of a football bod or a basketball bod?”
“He, um- doesn’t play sports.”
Taffy gave you a look.
“(N/N), I thought I went over this with you. How are you gonna climb the social ladder this year if you only go after geeks?”
You wrapped your arms around yourself defensively.
“He just caught my attention, okay? It’s not like we’re anything serious.”
Taffy sighed and turned up the radio, beginning to hum along to whatever was playing.
You couldn’t hear it, though. All this talk about your bachelor friend had you daydreaming.
What would it be like if he went to Brookview High? Maybe he would actually be your friend. He’d help you with your math homework, eat lunch with you, walk you to class, give you kisses in the hallway…
EEEEKKKK
The car lurched to a halt. You jolted from your dreams, arm hitting the car door.
Damn, you forgot how bad of a driver Taffy was.
“We’re here! Alright, (Y/N), are you ready for your first official senior rager??”
Taffy’s smile was impossibly wide, her eyes shining in the darkness of her car. You could faintly hear the music and noises of the party, whoever’s house you were at ahead of you.
Sitting there in the dark.
Waiting.
You took a breath.
“Okay.”
~~~
Nope nope nope, this was the worst choice you could have possibly made.
You could have thrown yourself into oncoming traffic and you would have been better off than being at this stupid, awkward party.
Standing outside with an unopened bottle of water, you watched as Taffy flawlessly buzzed about. She seemed to somehow know every single person here, to the point where each of them was just so glad she made it! It’s not a party without her! Damn, girl, I’m loving the outfit!
You thought your jacket would have gotten you some complements, at least from the right people, but apparently not.
Even the goth kids were steering clear of you.
Was there a meeting before you got here to make sure no one would talk to you??
You swallowed harshly and began to walk over to one of the random coolers strewn about the lawn. Thankfully, Taffy hadn’t forced you inside the actual house. You were sure the music was even louder, and the bright lights pouring from the glass doors and walls that shone on the pool were much brighter and even more headache inducing inside. Finally getting to a cooler, you realized that you had already been holding an unopened waterbottle.
Mentally rolling your eyes at your own idiotic behavior, you decided to just commit. Yes, it was stupid, and yes, you should just go hide in Taffy’s car for the rest of the night, but you might as well just suck it up at this point.
Who knows? Maybe, just maybe, it would get Taffy off your back for good.
You bent down and opened the cooler, and your hand dove straight into the icy cold water. It was pure instinct, a desire to feel something that wasn’t hot and sweaty and awkward, and it honestly gave you a brief feeling of relief.
You took your original water bottle, now lukewarm, and placed it in the ice water, grabbing a new, much cooler bottle of water.
Suddenly, a deep voice came from behind and above you.
“If you’re looking to fade out, the ethanol’s inside.”
You furrowed your brow in confusion. “What?”, you responded.
“The booze…?” The voice said as you stood up, not yet turning around. “It’s in the house.”
You started to turn, now actually understanding whatever this guy was talking about.
“O-oh, yeah, I think my friend brought most of it-“
Wait-
Your eyes focused in the dark on the figure who was speaking to you. Pretty brown hair and eyes, a slight tan, and a face that you would recognize in an instant.
Why was Micheal Trent talking to you?
