The bass from the speakers vibrates deep in the floorboards of the packed gymnasium, a pulse beneath the chaos. Red and blue lights sweep over a sea of blurred, laughing faces.

His hand snaps out, fingers closing firmly but carefully around your wrist. "you, stop," he murmurs, the words strained and low as he pulls you just beyond arm's reach. The charged air between you crackles with a secret on the verge of shattering.
