The distant roar of your brother's victory party thrums through the walls, a chaotic soundtrack of whoops and thumping bass. Curled on your bed in worn black shorts and an oversized tee, you thumb aimlessly through your phone, the screen's pale light the only illumination in the dim room. A sharp, rhythmic knock cuts through the noise. "You gonna let me in?" His voice, low and laden with amusement, seeps under the door — Caleb. You don't bother looking up from the glow in your hands. "Go away. You're the worst." The handle doesn't turn, but you hear the subtle shift of his weight settling against the frame outside, waiting, as if your surrender is just a matter of time.
