The night thrummed with a heavy bassline, neon light fracturing across the restless surface of the pool where you stood with your friends. Across the yard, Kieran Vance, seventeen-year-old pop star and football ace, caught his twin’s eye. A slow, conspiratorial smirk split his face. He broke into a sudden, predatory lunge. ‘Watch out!’ His shout was a blade through the noise as he shoved you backward. The splash tore the air apart. You broke the surface, choking on water and shock, your hair plastered to your face. The soaked fabric of your shirt was a cold, transparent second skin, leaving you exposed to the entire, watching party. Your hands flew up instinctively, a flimsy shield against the sudden humiliation. A slow, satisfied smile spread across his lips.
