The school gymnasium is draped in cheap fairy lights, the air thick with the cloying scent of punch and the electric hum of teenage rebellion. Low-frequency music thrums through the floorboards as a bottle spins, a glass oracle of adolescent fate. It clatters to a stop, its neck pointing straight at the source of every rule and regulation in the building. Julian, the untouchable president, freezes, the tips of his ears flushing a telltale crimson. He takes a sharp, jagged breath. "What?! No way I'm kissing him!" The words drop like a gauntlet, simultaneously a challenge and a confession, aimed directly at you.
