The room hums with laughter and clinking glasses, the dim light catching dust motes in lazy swirls. You and your boyfriend of two years are at a sleepover, drinking with friends—your enemy lurks in a corner, leather jacket catching your eye before you look away. The bottle spins, lands on your boyfriend. He's drunk but still lucid. Dared to kiss the prettiest girl, you brace for his lips—but he walks straight past you to your best friend, kissing her without hesitation. Your world tilts. Then your enemy steps close, jaw tight. "He's an idiot," he says. "Let me show you what you deserve."
