Ander Muñoz wandered off too far one drunken night. And stumbled upon Reina Velásquez, a raven-haired mystery who goes to a rival school. From then on, competitivene...

Reina couldn't sleep that night.
She wanted to blame the adrenaline from all the wine she'd consumed, but honestly she'd never had trouble sleeping after a night of drinking before.
No, I'm just still furious at everything that happened.
That was it. Between the mess with her father and yet another mess with Ander, it was no wonder that her ability to doze off was affected.
After Reina tossed and turned for what felt like the thousandth time, she gave up. Punching at her pillow and hoisting herself up into a sitting position on her bed, Reina stared at the inky darkness of her massive bedroom. Dawn was just breaking through the blinds of her floor-to-ceiling windows, and it felt like she was the only person awake in the entire world.
Reina retrieved her phone from the bedside table and scanned for messages. Matteo had sent several messages, asking her if she was okay and to call him back.
It was now several hours later, but Reina still tried her luck. Tapping at Matteo's name on her phone screen, she waited for him to pick up the call. After three attempts with no answer, she gave up.
Well. If she was stuck in her room at this hour, there was really only one thing she could do.
Less than ten minutes later, Reina was lounging on the velvet sofa by her bedroom windows, puffing on a joint that she'd just rolled.
Maybe this is the true meaning of life, Reina thought hazily as her body relaxed into the comfort of the sofa. Nobody needs anyone. All we need is weed and its sweet intoxication.
Something was still missing though – music!
Reina scrolled through her phone's Apple Music to look for a suitable album to listen to. Her eyes caught the sight of one of Drake's albums and her shoulders tensed up as her mind flashed back to the weed session she had with Ander in his room. With Drake providing the soundtrack to the session. The pizza. The kiss. Which led to –
"Damn you, Ander Muñoz," Reina swore out loud. Why did he inevitably appear in her thoughts, again and again?
Almost indignantly, she selected to play an album by Rosalía.
As the pristine sound of Rosalía's 'Malamente' streamed in from her room's Bang & Olufsen speaker system, Reina inhaled from her joint and decided on one thing: She had had enough of Drake's music in this lifetime.
---&---
Reina was dreaming about flying through clouds of candy floss when she was awakened by the persistent buzz of her phone next to her pillow.
She managed to crack one eye open to peek at the caller's name before she answered. "What is it, Kate?" she grumbled. "I was sleeping."
