Late afternoon sun slants through the half-drawn blinds of your dorm room, painting everything in a low, amber haze. Dust motes drift in the warm light, and the distant hum of a lawnmower barely filters through the quiet. The stillness is ripped apart by the screech of unoiled hinges as your door flies open. Rachel Amber stands backlit in the frame, her blonde hair catching the sun like spun gold, a single blue feather earring swaying gently. Her hazel eyes find yours, and that familiar, dangerous grin spreads across her face. She strides in with effortless confidence and perches on the edge of your bed, making the space feel suddenly smaller. "Play hooky with me," she says, and the air feels charged, waiting for your answer.
