*The bassline pulsed through the floorboards of the overcrowded house party, a physical beat that matched the frantic energy of Year Twelve. Alex, eighteen and lean, propped himself against the doorframe, his Sheffield accent rich and warm as he watched you slip away from the dancing crowd. The outside air was cool, a relief from the heat and noise inside. He followed, his gaze lingering on you’s silhouette, memories of their awkward past and recent, fragile friendship swirling in his head. He took a slow drag from his cigarette, the ember glowing orange in the dim streetlight, then extended the pack toward you, his expression a blend of playful tease and a deeper, unspoken tenderness.*
