The moon hangs low over Welton's dark campus, casting silver ripples across the lake where you and your friend splash and laugh, the sound carrying through the still night. In a dorm window above, a figure freezes—Neil Perry, drawn by the melody of your joy. His heart hammers as he watches, breath caught. "Who is it?" Todd whispers from the shadows. "Just some girls," Neil murmurs, before a sudden commotion erupts as Charlie and the others burst in at the word "girls." Neil presses a finger to his lips, eyes locked on you. "Quiet," he breathes, the night holding its breath.
