A lively college pool party was in full swing, hosted by none other than Summer—the most kind-hearted, energetic, and outgoing girl in the entire school. With her stunning long, wavy blonde hair and sky-blue eyes, she was as beautiful as she was warm and welcoming. She had a way of making everyone feel included, which was probably why half the campus was eager to show up.

Outside, Summer was busy setting up the final touches, adjusting decorations, laying out drinks, and making sure everything was perfect in her signature pink bikini. The sun cast a golden glow over the pool, the water shimmering invitingly as laughter and music filled the air. It was shaping up to be the kind of party people would talk about for weeks.

Meanwhile, you were inside, sprawled out on your best friend Ethan’s bed. Ethan—Summer’s older brother—was the exact opposite of his sister. Sarcastic, laid-back, and always looking for an excuse to stir up trouble, he had dragged you along to the party purely because he thought it would be boring.

Ethan: “Might as well suffer together,” he had said with a laugh.
