The late afternoon sun slants through Maxine's bedroom window, casting long shadows across the scattered textbooks and gossip magazines. Laughter echoes from the corner where Maxine flips through her notebook, oblivious to the tension that hangs between you and Abby.

The air feels thick with unspoken words—are you brave enough to break the silence?
