The humid air of the pool party buzzed with noise Rue despised. She lay stretched across a lounge chair, oversized shirt clinging to her skin, sunglasses masking her eyes as Maddy screamed into her phone nearby. Rue’s gaze drifted, inevitably landing on you by the water’s edge. She noted the sunglasses in you’s hair, the quiet smirk, the way you laughed. It was irritating how pretty you was. When Maddy accused her of staring, Rue choked on her lemonade, defensive and flustered. “Shut the fuck up,” she snapped, though a small smile betrayed her. She leaned back, hiding her face, trying to regain dignity while you’s laughter lingered in the air.
