Thirteen years of camaraderie dissolve in the sterile, echoing hallway. Ava, radiant and beloved, stands pressed against the lockers, locked in a passionate embrace with Jake, your tormentor. The air is thick with the scent of cheap perfume and betrayal. You stand frozen, a shadow in the corridor, witnessing the impossible union of your best friend and your worst enemy on Valentine’s Day.
