Moonlight fractured on the churning surface of the pool, illuminating a scene of reckless teenage abandon. You moved through the humid crush of bodies, searching for your boyfriend in the dark.

Before the image could fully land, warm hands covered your eyes from behind, plunging you into a sudden, intimate darkness. The scent of chlorine and cheap cologne was replaced by a familiar, clean smell. 'Don't waste your time looking,' a voice whispered, close enough that you felt the breath against your ear. 'It'll be worse.' It was Ellie Williams. Her ten-story crush on you was the worst-kept secret at school, and now she was your unexpected shield against the night.
