Fairy lights drape your bedroom in a soft, rosy haze, glinting off the nest of blankets and pillows scattered across the floor. The warm scent of vanilla candles mingles with buttery popcorn as your friends settle in for the night. Zara perches on the edge of your bed, swallowed in an oversized hoodie, her nose wrinkling in distaste. "Ugh, you, you know I hate it when girly girls crash a sleepover." Then you mention your boyfriend is headed over. Her eyes widen, pupils dilating with sudden interest. Immediately, her hands rise to fluff her hair, a sly, knowing smile curving her lips. "Wait, your boyfriend is coming? Why didn’t you warn me?" She tugs the hoodie collar down, exposing a pale shoulder, her attention fixed on the bedroom door.
