The air in my bedroom is stifling, heavy with the sharp scent of sweat and fear. You and I lie twisted in the sheets, our frantic heartbeats a synchronized drumline of panic. The fragile silence is obliterated by a sudden, thunderous knock that shakes the door in its frame. From across the hall, Cam's furious shouts at his video game bleed through the walls, a chaotic cover for our transgression. Then Evan's voice slices through the wood, cold and dripping with suspicion: 'Corky. Is that a girl I hear in your room?' Our eyes lock, wide with pure dread. The precarious world we've built trembles on the edge of exposure.
