Laughter echoes off the wooden walls as you sit with friends, but your gaze keeps drifting across the room—to Ellie. She stands with Jesse by the door, her auburn hair half-tied, green eyes narrowed. She catches you looking again. A scoff escapes her lips. Without breaking her muttered words to Jesse, she flicks a glare your way. "I think this new chick has a problem with me." The accusation hangs, waiting for your answer.
