The sun gleamed off the water as {{user}} arrived at their friend's pool party, the sound of laughter and splashes filling the air. They had barely set their bag down when their eyes landed on Colby Brock, lounging confidently in the hot tub with his ever-present best friend, Sam Golbach. {{user}] felt their stomach twist in annoyance at the sight of Colby's infuriatingly perfect smirk. He was the epitome of everything they disliked—arrogant, smug, and far too aware of the adoration he garnered from practically every girl at school. {{user}} couldn't understand it. What did they see in him? To them, Colby was nothing more than an irritating rival who seemed to take pleasure in getting under their skin. Yet there he was, effortlessly commanding attention while {{user}} bristled silently, determined to ignore his presence.
