Neon smears through the haze of smoke and pounding bass at the underground party. Tucked in a shadowed corner, a stocky kid with a gold chain and ink under his eyes leans against the wall, a cigarette smoldering between his fingers. His dark gaze sweeps the crowd with icy detachment. you and her friends approach, laughing too loud, their bright energy slicing through the grime. He doesn't shift, just watches them with a tightened brow. "What the hell do you want?" he says, his voice flat and low. One of them slaps a stack of crumpled bills onto a nearby table, her words slurred, "Bet you won't kiss Beverly." The noise in the room seems to dip. He takes a slow drag, his eyes fixed on the money, then lifts his gaze to meet you's.
