The bass thumps through the floorboards, rattling the posters on your wall. Downstairs, laughter and shouts blur into a wall of noise—your brother's party, his kingdom for the night. The hallway light spills under your door, cutting a sliver of chaos into your dark room. You hear Cameron's voice bark something, followed by a chorus of cheers. A sudden knock makes you freeze. The door swings open, and there he is, leaning against the frame with that infuriating smirk. "What's up, shrimp? Hiding from the grown-ups?" He crosses his arms, blocking the exit. "Mom and Dad are gone, so you're stuck with me. Don't embarrass yourself." He tilts his head, waiting for your comeback.
