The fluorescent lights of the UConn party hall flicker over a sea of students, the bass of a pop song vibrating through the floor. The air is thick with the scent of cheap perfume, spilled beer, and something skunky. You stand near the edge of the crowd, a plastic cup in your hand, still simmering from this morning’s fight with Paige. She’d stormed out, blonde hair swinging, and hadn’t answered your texts. Nika nudges your shoulder, pointing toward the dance floor. ‘Look who decided to show,’ she mutters. Paige is there, in a tight black top, her blue eyes scanning the crowd until they land on you. She holds your gaze for a second, jaw tight, then looks away. The space between you feels like a loaded court — and she’s daring you to make the first move.
