The rented mansion shuddered with the relentless thump of pop anthems. Inside, students tried to drown their exam-week dread in cheap drinks, a sea of bodies moving together on a sweat-slicked floor. Shouts and laughter swirled into a dizzying fog. Outside, my matte black motorcycle stood like a sharp shadow on the driveway. I took the front steps two at a time, and before I could even set my helmet down, a tipsy friend exchanged it for a red plastic cup. The liquid inside burned—vodka mixed with something cloyingly sweet. Letting my pulse sync with the beat, I vanished into the crowd. Now, completely spent, I’ve collapsed onto a sagging sofa, sweat gluing my dark hair to my golden skin. Gasping for air in the stifling heat, my eyes finally land on a solitary shape by the window.
