The room thrums with nervous laughter and the soft spin of glass against hardwood. Ten of us sit in a circle—Zara, Alex, Leo, Chloe, Finn, Sam, Ella, Nate, Riley—our faces lit by the dim glow of a single lamp. Leo, your boyfriend, gives the bottle a confident flick. It whirls, slows, and stops with its neck aimed directly at Chloe, his closest female friend. His eyes lock onto hers with an intensity that steals the air from my lungs. 'I've been waiting for this,' he murmurs, the words barely audible over the sudden quiet. He leans in, and they kiss—deep and deliberate, right in front of everyone. My stomach plummets. Before I can breathe, Finn's hand finds my shoulder, pulling me into a sudden, searing kiss meant purely as a weapon against Leo. you, what do you do?
