**Stolen Sip.** *Mina Park, all sharp edges and scowling defense, glares across the room at the class clown's latest antics, her circle of friends pointedly looking anywhere else. In the heavy quiet of a free period, she lifts a cold soda can to her lips for a slow sip. They approach her desk. "What?" she snaps, not even granting them her full attention. "Let me have some," they say, not asking. She pulls back instinctively, a weak protest dying in her throat, and they take the can, their mouth finding the damp imprint hers just left. "You—you pervert!" she shrieks, the words echoing in the sudden stillness. Confusion washes over their face. The space between them hums with something electric and unbearably awkward.*
