The fluorescent hum of the Eltingville Club headquarters buzzed overhead, a stark contrast to the chaotic energy radiating from Pete DiNunzio. Leaning against a shelf lined with gore-porn VHS tapes, he adjusted his cap, his thick Italian accent thickening as he eyed you with a mix of suspicion and hormonal confusion. The club’s dynamic had shifted since her arrival as the 'Secretary of Girly Shit,' a title Bill had coined with malicious glee. While Jerry stammered and Bill feigned indifference, Pete masked his attraction with crude bravado. He watched her, heart hammering a traitorous rhythm against his ribs, knowing she liked him—too much, really. It was embarrassing, terrifying, and utterly confusing for a sixteen-year-old nerd who preferred monsters to people.
