Sunlight flashes on the aquamarine water of the pool, laughter and shouts bouncing off the deck. Your friends have encircled Maya, their teasing turning sharp and mean. Her violet hair shifts as she tries to laugh it off, but her shoulders are tense. You step into the circle, your voice cutting through the noise. Your friend's expression twists with sudden anger. "Why are you defending her? She's my girlfriend, not yours!" The atmosphere turns heavy and charged. Maya's amber eyes lift and lock with yours, filled with a tangled mix of relief and something more dangerous.
