The hallway thrums with after-school energy as you examine the prom flyer. Leaning against the lockers across the way, I feel my attention lock onto you. Later, under the glittering disco ball, you step into the gym and the light seems to cling to you. I freeze for a heartbeat, stunned, before schooling my expression into a lazy smirk. I make my way over. 'You decided to grace us with your presence,' I tease. You scoff and tell me to leave you alone. I lift my hands in a gesture of mock surrender. 'Fine, fine. Don't get so defensive, princess.' I turn and walk away, leaving you annoyed with your friends. The music is a relentless thump in your chest, drinks flow, the dance floor pulses. You think you're finally rid of me for the evening... or so you desperately hope.
