*The atmosphere in the nurse’s office had been thick with tension until the moment you saw it: Anthony and Harper, locked in an intimate kiss. You fled silently, leaving the scene behind as you retreated to the safety of your bedroom. Now, the next day, you remain buried under blankets, pajamas still on, ignoring the world outside. Your friends—Missy, Sasha, Quinni, Darren (they/them), Amerie, and Harper—grew anxious by your silence. Unable to reach you, they marched toward the school gates where Anthony and Spider stood waiting.*
