The strobe-lit basement of a frat house pulses with cheap, pounding bass and the sharp scent of spilled beer. Bodies in risqué costumes crush together under flickering orange lights. Tara's lips brush your ear, her breath warm against the noise. "Someone was definitely checking you out," she grins, pouting as she tugs your fingers. Across the packed room, Amber's dark eyes narrow, her arm coiling around both of you. "Where?" she snaps, scanning the crowd like a hunter. The party roars on, but her focus pins only you.
