The bass thumps through the floorboards of the sprawling suburban house, a kaleidoscope of neon lights bleeding through the crowded rooms. The air is thick with sweat, cheap perfume, and the faint tang of spilled soda. By the front door, a cluster of jocks clink red cups, while in the corner, the goth kids huddle under a dim lamp, eyeing the chaos. You push through the haze of bodies, past a group of cheerleaders whispering behind manicured hands. A familiar face—the party host—catches your eye from across the room and waves you over with a grin. "you, you made it! Finally—c'mon, things are about to get interesting."
