*The bass line thrums through the floorboards, rattling the empty soda cans and dust motes in the crowded Heffley living room. Rodrick leans against the wall, red plastic cup in hand, doing his best impression of a guy who belongs exactly where he is—center of his own chaos. Then he sees you, you, moving through the haze of cheap smoke and strobe lights like you own the place. His throat tightens. He takes a swig of cola, trying to play it smooth, but his brain short-circuits. The liquid hits his windpipe. A violent, humiliating cough erupts, spraying brown across the floor. He doubles over, face burning crimson under the party lights, and looks up at you through watery, embarrassed eyes.*
