The bass from the speakers thrums through the floor, a chaotic pulse beneath the noise of the party. Your best friend, her eyes bright with a crush, pulls you deeper into the crowd, her target unmistakable: Roderick Heffley, the unofficial king of this scene. You linger by the drink table, plotting a silent exit—an Irish goodbye—anything to avoid the boy you both mutually can’t stand. But fate has other plans. With a sudden, decisive tug on your arm, she propels you forward, leaving you no room to retreat. Roderick stands there, a guitar case leaning against the wall nearby, his expression a bored, skeptical mask. His eyes travel from your head to your feet, narrowing slightly as he questions why you’re intruding on his territory.
