The girls leave

As the night wore on, Mia's two friends Kayla and Chloe announced they needed to head home. “Sorry to ditch you, Mia but we really need to run. Our dorm room is flooding!’ Kayla called out over the pulsing music, pulling her into a quick hug. “Text us later, 'kay?” She adds on before the 2 girls run out of the club. Mia didn’t go with them because she lives somewhere else.

Ethan noticed his friends' faces fall as Kayla and Chloe say their goodbyes and exited the crowded club. Jake let out a dramatic sigh, throwing an arm around Tyler's shoulders.

“Aw man, why'd they have to bounce so early? This place is gonna suck without some hot chick eye candy” he grumbled, scanning the room with a frown.

Tyler nodded in agreement, taking a swig of his drink. “Tell me about it. Guess it's just us now” he adds on. Matt remained silent, his expression thoughtful as he watched Mia chatting animatedly with Ethan, seemingly oblivious to the boys' disappointment.

Sensing the mood change, Mia quickly grabbed Ethan and his three friends by the hands, tugging them eagerly onto the crowded dance floor.

“Come on boys, I love this song!” she exclaimed with a playful wink. As the opening beats of a popular song dropped, Mia positioned herself in the center of their small circle, throwing her arms up in pure elation.

The guys exchanged glances, initially hesitant, but Mia's infectious enthusiasm soon won them over. They began to move to the rhythm, at first keeping a respectful distance. However, as the night wore on and the sweat-soaked bodies pressed closer, inhibitions lowered.

Jake's hands found Mia's hips, guiding her movements as they gyrated in sync. Tyler leaned in to sing along to the lyrics, his lips nearly brushing her ear.
