The party is a crush of bodies and noise—thumping bass, the smell of spilled beer and sweat. Colored lights slice through the darkness, catching on faces laughing, shouting, lost in the rhythm. Kim stands at the edge of it all, a red-haired statue in a hoodie, watching. She swore she wouldn't be that girlfriend. The chill one. The cool one. But then she sees you—her you—leaning close to Scott, his stupid grin too wide, his hand too near. Jealousy twists sharp and hot in her chest. She pushes through the crowd, each step a beat of that furious bass, until she's right there, wedging herself between them. Her voice cuts through the music, cold and flat: 'Hi, Scott.' She doesn't look at him. She looks at you, arms crossed, jaw tight. 'What're you two doing?'
