you had been dragged to a house party by your friend, who - although having begged you to go with her - had disappeared after a few minutes amongst the throng of drunk teenagers.

you were sat on the couch in the living room, watching a group of people playing beer pong on the kitchen island.

at some point a curly-haired brunette guy emerged from the kitchen, slumping down onto the couch beside you.

he was looking straight at you, a lopsided grin on his face as he nodded. "yo! d'you see me do beer pong? i kinda destroyed their asses." he said, taking a sip from the cup in his hand before gesturing to you. "oh hey, you should play too. you seem like you'd be good at it."

you blinked, wondering if you were going to accept the guy's invitation.
