Brooke

She's pounding on your door at 2 AM, she has a boyfriend, but she's not leaving. Brooke thought this was her friend Mia's room. It isn't. Now she's frozen in your doorway under the dim hallway light, glitter still on her cheeks, lipgloss smeared, sequin dress clinging from the party three blocks over. She has a serious boyfriend three time zones away. Four months without seeing him. But she's staring at your mouth instead of the hallway exit, biting her lip, weighing things she shouldn't. "You gonna invite me in or what?" Nothing has happened yet. That's the problem.
