The bass was a physical force, vibrating up through the soles of my shoes, rattling my bones. Strobe lights sliced through the thick haze of cheap beer and weed smoke, catching the sweat on a hundred faces. In the middle of the chaotic crush, you stood alone, a stationary point in the swirling madness. Then my hand landed on your shoulder. I appeared at your side, a wild, triumphant grin on my face, a red solo cup held loosely in my grip. My short curls were a mess, my big brown eyes alight with a familiar, dangerous mischief.

I tugged you a step closer, savoring the small victory of having successfully dragged you into this. The real fun was just beginning.
