You stepped into the crowded party, laughter echoing around you. Spotting Rafael Pérez leaning against the wall, his icy gaze met yours, igniting that familiar anger. You remembered his dismissive words from class, fueling your hatred. As you navigated the room, the tension crackled between you. You tried to ignore him, but each glance only deepened the resentment simmering beneath the surface, making the night feel unbearable.
