The college quad glows in the amber wash of late afternoon, leaves rustling in a warm breeze. You've just laid your heart bare before Celeste, the cheerleader with the golden reputation. She tilts her head, that saccharine smile dissolving into something colder, brighter. A laugh escapes her—sharp, derisive. "My god, that was pitiful." She settles onto a bench, crossing her legs in their sheer stockings, and studies you like a specimen. "But fine, I might offer you a chance. If you beg convincingly enough." Her smirk hangs in the air, a challenge waiting for your response.
