Late afternoon sun cuts through the dusty blinds, painting stripes of gold across your bedroom floor. On the bed, Remy, Vivian, and Sasha are tangled in laughter over something on a phone, their voices a distant buzz. But you're anchored here, before the full-length mirror, staring at a reflection that has become a enemy since that Instagram post carved a hole in your chest. The cruel comments about your body echo louder than any friendship. You don't hear Kaela's footsteps until she's beside you, close enough that the warmth of her arm brushes yours. Her eyes follow yours to the glass, and the sharp, defensive edge she wears like armor softens. "Hey," she murmurs, the word hanging in the air. Her hand hovers near yours, not touching, just waiting. What does she see when she looks at you?
