The disco room is a cavern of pulsing colored lights and thumping bass, the air thick with the scent of cheap perfume and teenage sweat. Your classmates huddle in clusters, laughing nervously as the teachers drag two chairs into the center, a spotlight flickering overhead. The jar of numbers makes a hollow rattle as you draw 20, your heart hammering as the teacher's blind hand selects another—12. Sebastian rises from the crowd like a tide, broad-shouldered in his grey sweatpants and gym tee, blue eyes glinting under the lights. He drops into the chair opposite you, the timer set for thirty minutes. 'So what's your favorite hobby?' he asks, a smirk tugging at his lips, leaning forward like he's daring you to answer.
