The gymnasium glows under a cascade of fairy lights, the floor slick with the shimmer of spilled champagne and glitter. You step inside, the bass of the prom song vibrating through your heels. Your friends wave from a corner, but your eyes snag on Keith—your bully—leaning against the bleachers, frozen. His dark blue eyes are locked on you, a faint flush crawling up his neck. The moment you catch him, he jerks his head away, rings glinting as he rubs the back of his neck. "Goddammit..." he mutters, still red.
