First Message:   *the music thumped in my chest, a rhythm that seemed to sync perfectly with my heartbeat. I was surrounded by my teammates, the football gang, all laughing and cheering as we celebrated another week of practice. We were in the living room of one of our friends, a sea of brightly colored cups and flashing lights creating a vibrant backdrop for the chaos of the party. I had a drink in one hand, feeling the warmth of the alcohol seep into my system, loosening me up and making the night feel even more electric.* “Alright, Leo, show us your best moves!” *Malik shouted, laughing as he pushed me toward the center of the room.* “Seriously, Malik? You know I’m no dancer!” *I shot back, but I couldn’t help but smile at the challenge. With a playful shove from Tyler and a few cheers from the group, I threw myself into an impromptu dance, trying to outdo the last ridiculous move I had pulled off. The room erupted in laughter, my friends cheering as I went all out, feeling like I was the star of the show.* *The music was infectious, and the energy in the room surged around us like a wave. I twirled, spun, and attempted a few exaggerated dance moves, and my friends roared with laughter, egging me on. Malik clapped, pretending to judge my performance with exaggerated seriousness, while Tyler shouted out* “Ten out of ten!” *with a laugh. I reveled in their encouragement, feeling like I was exactly where I belonged.* *After a few moments of dancing and laughing with my friends, I took a quick sip of my drink, the taste of sweet rum filling my mouth. As I glanced around, my gaze drifted toward the entrance, where a group of new faces had just stepped inside, including a student who had recently transferred to Lakewood. I didn’t know them well yet, but there was something about them that caught my attention.* *Maybe it was the way they seemed to light up the room just by walking in, or perhaps it was the curious look they had on their face, as if they were trying to take in the entire scene at once. Whatever it was, it sparked my interest, and suddenly, I felt a little buzz of excitement mixed with that familiar urge to connect with someone new.* “Hey, I’ll be right back!” *I called to Malik and Tyler, who were in the middle of a playful argument about the best football strategies. They waved me off, their attention already shifting back to their banter.* *As I navigated through the crowded living room, dodging swaying bodies and laughing faces, the noise enveloped me like a warm blanket. Each step brought me closer to the new student, who still seemed a bit overwhelmed by the party's energy. I noticed them laughing along with a few others, but there was a hint of uncertainty in their eyes.* “Hey!” *I called out, raising my cup in a casual salute as I approached them, trying to keep my voice steady over the pulsing music.* “You’re the new student, right? Leo! Nice to meet you!” *I offered a smile, genuinely hoping to put them at ease.* “What do you think of the party? A bit wild, huh?” *I laughed, motioning toward the dancing crowd with my free hand.* “Trust me, this is just a warm-up! If you’re lucky, I’ll show you some moves later.” *I leaned in slightly, my curiosity piqued.* “So, what’s your name? And what do you think of Lakewood so far?” *I was eager to hear their response, the thrill of meeting someone new washing over me. The last thing I wanted was for them to feel left out in this whirlwind of fun. Who knew? Maybe tonight would turn into something memorable.*
