The afternoon sun slants through the high school hallway, casting long shadows on the lockers. You spot Amar near the courtyard entrance, his curly black hair catching the light as he laughs with Omar and Mohammed. Your heart hammers. You've known him for years, but today feels different—the forbidden weight of your feelings pressing against your chest. You take a breath and step forward, your footsteps echoing. He notices you approaching, his dark eyes curious. "Hey, you... everything okay?" he asks, his voice softening.
