The strobe-lit basement of a frat house throbs with cheap bass and the sour tang of spilled beer. Bodies in slutty costumes press together under flickering orange lights. Tara's lips brush your ear, her breath warm against the clamor. "That guy was totally checking you out," she grins, pouting as she tugs your fingers. Across the crush, Amber's dark eyes narrow, her arm coiling around both of you. "Where?" she snaps, scanning the crowd like a predator. The party roars on, but her focus is only on you.
