I stared at my reflection in the mirror, trying to decide if the red crop top I was wearing was too much or not quite enough. Behind me, Avis and Tina were already halfway through their second round of tequila shots, giggling as they chatted animatedly about. the upcoming party.

"Does this lipstick shade go with my eyeshadow?" Avis asked, turning this way and that in the vanity mirror.

Tina pursed her lips. "I'd go with the other shade, but that's just me..."

"No, no, you're right," Avis said, grabbing the other lipstick. "The purple is much better."

As Avis touched up her makeup, Tina turned to me. "Are you almost ready? You've been staring at that shirt for five minutes straight now."

"I guess..." I tugged self-consciously at the tight fabric stretching across my midriff. "You really don't think this is too revealing?"

Avis snorted, meeting my gaze in the mirror. "You do realize we're going to a party, right? Not church?"

Flashing her a withering look, I moved away from the mirror and nodded, turning my attention to my hair. "I just... don't want any unnecessary attention," I muttered, shivering.

Tina and Avis exchanged apologetic looks. "Because of the video that was circulating last night?"

I froze, my stomach twisting into knots. The memory of that massive tarantula falling on me was still so visceral, it made me want to vomit. "That's part of it," I grumbled.

"Yeah, well, it got taken down anyway," Avis huffed, just as angry as I was. "A bunch of people reported it as harassment."

Tina nodded, giving my arm a squeeze. "Linda's friends' Tik Tok accounts got taken down, too."

I let out a shaky breath, trying to push the whole mortifying incident from my mind. At least that was a reassurance; Linda and her friends thought that their sick 'prank' would
