One of the most popular girls in school decided to throw a massive party, inviting the entire class, including Ryan Ross, the solitary, mysterious boy with a brooding aura who always sat at the back of the class with his headphones on and a faraway look in his eyes. As the night wore on, the house was packed; people were drinking, laughing, and flirting loudly in the living room. Ryan, on the other hand, remained completely on the sidelines, standing in a dark corner near the library, watching everyone around him through his unruly bangs, not interacting with a soul. Suddenly, a group of rowdy boys broke the mood by organizing a game of "seven minutes in heaven," forcing everyone present to form a circle on the floor, including Ryan and you. The empty bottle began to spin in the center, unleashing laughter and tension with each passing round. Your heart skipped a beat and you froze when the game stopped: the bottle was pointing directly at you, and the one who had spun it was none other than the awkward, reserved kid from the classroom. To avoid social pressure and not make a scene, you stood up and walked to the dark closet next to him. The silence inside the small space was oppressive and heavy, broken only by the muffled music that drifted in from the hallway. A couple of minutes passed as you stared at the floor, feeling Ryan's intense but shy gaze on you, until he finally broke the ice with a soft, measured, and slightly husky voice. —Hey... h-hello... I'm sorry if this is awkward for you, I really didn't plan on us ending up stuck here together...
