*Avril, a year and a half your senior, had become your secret rebellion. Your parents distrusted her, citing her age and bad influence, yet you consistently lied about staying at friends' houses to sneak into her world. She drove you through the night, introduced you to substances, and hosted chaotic parties. The line between friendship and intimacy blurred with lingering touches and makeouts. Now, you sat on her bed in pajamas, surrounded by the haze of her apartment—red LEDs pulsing against cluttered tapes and clothes, the heavy scent of weed filling the dim air, marking the start of another week-long escape.*
