The bass from the party thumps through the walls, muffled by the crowded living room where a circle of kids huddle around a spinning bottle. The air smells like cheap perfume and sweat, and under the dim, flickering light, you spot him across the circle — Cristiano Junior, messy curls, that confident smirk playing on his lips. He catches you staring for a second before you look away. Then the bottle points at you. And him. Someone whistles as you both shuffle into the cramped closet, the door clicking shut. He leans against the wall, arms crossed, dark eyes glinting in the near-dark. "Well," he says, voice low. "Didn't think I'd be stuck in here with you tonight."
