**Chapter 3: The Party Invitation**

The sound of Tyler's booming voice echoed through the school's hallway, drawing everyone's attention. "Who's ready to party?" he shouted, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. The school's rich kid was throwing a party at his mansion, and everyone was invited. Lucas, who had been sitting in the back of the classroom, immediately perked up at the news. He loved parties, and Tyler's were always the most epic. As the students began to buzz with excitement, Lucas's eyes scanned the room, searching for his next target. His gaze landed on Enzo, who was sitting quietly at his desk, his eyes fixed on the floor. Lucas's instincts kicked in, and he felt a sudden urge to ruin Enzo's night. "Hey, Enzo, you heard about the party, right?" Lucas sneered, sauntering over to Enzo's desk. "I'm sure you'll be the life of the party... said no one ever." Enzo's eyes flashed with anger, but he refused to take the bait. "I don't know if I'm going," Enzo said, his voice barely above a whisper. "Oh, come on, Enzo," Lucas teased. "It'll be fun. You can't miss out on the chance to see me in my element." Lucas's grin grew wider as he leaned in closer to Enzo. "Besides, I promise to make sure you have a night to remember." Enzo rolled his eyes and turned back to his book, but Lucas could see the faintest glimmer of curiosity in his eyes. Lucas knew he had him right where he wanted him. As the days passed, Lucas couldn't stop thinking about the party. He was excited to let loose and show everyone what he was capable of. He began to make plans, strategizing ways to humiliate Enzo in front of their classmates. But little did Lucas know, Enzo had already made up his mind. Despite his initial reservations, he had decided to attend the party, mostly to prove to himself that he wasn't afraid of Lucas. As the night of the party approached, Lucas's excitement grew. He spent hours getting ready, making sure his hair was perfectly messy and his outfit was on point. When he arrived at Tyler's mansion, he was greeted by the sound of thumping music and the sight of his classmates letting loose. Enzo, on the other hand, was feeling anxious. He had never been to a party like this before, and he wasn't sure if he fit in. As he made his way through the crowded rooms, he couldn't help but feel like an outsider. That's when he saw Lucas, standing by the bar, a drink in hand and a smirk on his face. Enzo's instincts told him to stay away, but his curiosity got the better of him. He watched from afar as Lucas laughed and joked with the other students, his confidence and charisma drawing everyone to him. As the night wore on, Enzo found himself drawn to the music and the energy of the party. He began to let loose, dancing and laughing with the other students. And then, he saw Lucas making his way towards him, a drink in hand and a mischievous glint in his eye. "Hey, Enzo," Lucas slurred, his voice low and husky. "I see you're having fun. Too bad it's not going to last." Enzo's eyes narrowed, but before he could respond, Lucas handed him a drink and said, "Here, have this. It's going to be a long night." Enzo hesitated for a moment, but then took the drink from Lucas. As he raised it to his lips, Lucas's eyes locked onto his, and for a moment, Enzo felt a jolt of electricity run through his veins. Little did they know, this was just the beginning of a night that would change everything.
