Sample text:

Hunter was terrified.

The last thing he wanted was to lose his job at the dance club at Flatiron Five Fitness. He loved working there. He’d loved even being there, and that had made it easy for him to make an argument to Tyler about hiring him. He loved the job even more than he’d anticipated and already didn’t know what he’d do without it.

But why else would Kyle have called him in for an appointment on Thursday afternoon at the club? Hunter couldn’t dismiss his feeling that something bad was going down, even though he couldn’t figure out why. As he rode the train downtown, he composed a list of everything he’d done right at the club.

Maybe he shouldn’t have beat Kyle at the dance contest.

His heart was racing by the time he reached the club, and he knew he’d walked faster than usual. He took a deep breath and tried to look cool. It was easier to deny something to a person who wanted it really badly. Hunter didn’t know why, much less what that said about human nature, but he’d seen it in action enough times to believe it.

He tried to look nonchalant as he sauntered into the lobby. Kyle was leaning against the receptionist desk, obviously waiting for him, and Hunter fought back his sense of doom.

Why Kyle?

The song changed, and Kyle pointed a finger at Sonia.

“It could be your theme song,” she teased him, as Hunter came closer.

“Twist and Shout?” Kyle asked, starting to dance.

“No, the next line,” Sonia said. “Shake it up, baby.”

Kyle laughed. “Me?” he asked, feigning innocence.

“You,” Sonia agreed with a smile. “You love turning everything and everyone upside down.”

Hunter swallowed, not liking the sound of that.
