DAISY

At seven forty-five, Daisy runs a brush through her hair and debates fastening one more button on her light-blue shirt. Under normal circumstances, she would search on her phone for an image from the movie to check whether Laurie Strode left one button or two undone. Sure, no one else will know, but she’d have a certain satisfaction from knowing she had it correct. She’d feel more Laurie Strodish, and she would therefore be more convincing. Right?

But that’s not a possibility today. Since they’ve been plunged back into the Dark Ages, she’ll have to rely on her memory. Or better yet, just take the advice MB gave her at lunch. Make him notice. She grins at her reflection and decides that accuracy to the movie is secondary to what might catch Tucker’s eye. The second button remains undone.

Her costume is simple—so simple, in fact, that she’s guessing a lot of people won’t have a clue she’s even wearing one. High-waisted navy jeans with front slash pockets, in addition to a sky-blue button-down shirt with a very different kind of slash running down one sleeve.

It’s not the costume she’d planned to wear, but she’s okay with it. She and Dani had decided months ago that they’d dress up as scream queens. Dani had called dibs on this outfit, since her hair is a little lighter and has more natural curl, a bit like Jamie Lee Curtis’s hair in the first Halloween movie. So Daisy had ordered a chin-length blonde wig, complete with 90s-style chunky bangs, and a cream cable-knit sweater. She dyed part of the front blood red, so that she could be Casey Becker, the Drew Barrymore character who gets offed in the opening scene of Scream.

But when Daisy ran into the house to grab her costume on the way back from Martha’s, the blonde wig was missing. Everything else was there for both costumes. Only the wig was gone.

It was a typical Dani move, and normally, she might have been pissed about it. But Daisy had wanted to be Laurie Strode in the first place. Laurie was smart and strong, and she lived to see the sequels. Daisy would like to believe that Dani picked up on the fact that she really didn’t want to dress up as Casey Becker and left the other costume out of the goodness of her heart. But she knows better. The far more likely scenario is that Dani decided to do something entirely different at the last minute and needed Daisy’s blonde wig to complete the look.

And so, Daisy had shoved the blue shirt and jeans into a plastic bag and ran back out to the car where Tucker and Chase were waiting, avoiding the urge to look back at the mirror in the hallway. She couldn’t have said why, but it felt unwise, maybe even dangerous when it was dark, and the house was empty. Because the mirror-that-had-always-been-there hasn’t always been there. It’s wrong, just like the letters on Martha’s fridge and the pictures of her pod students.
