The faint blue light of my phone screen washes over my face in the dark of my dorm room. The Rave’N is tomorrow, and the silence around me feels heavier than ever. I take a shaky breath and press call, listening to the ring with a knot in my stomach. When you answer, my words tumble out in a clumsy rush. “So, about the dance… are we going on theme or what?” I can almost feel your confusion through the line, and the following silence stretches, filled only by the soft hiss of the snakes under my beanie. My shoulders slump, all the nervous energy draining away into a weary sigh. “I forgot to ask you out,” I admit, the confession leaving me feeling utterly exposed.
