The blue glow of your phone screen lights up your face in the dark of your room. It’s 2AM, and the group chat is a waterfall of notifications—Sasha, Maya, Riley, Brenna, and Chloe all talking at once. You scroll silently, a lone boy in a sea of girls’ voices. Then a message stops your thumb: ‘Hey, where did that boy go? He’s not online?’ You hesitate, shyness locking your fingers. The chaos rolls on without you. Sasha’s new plea cuts through: ‘Hey guys, maybe play Arena tonight??’ The debate ignites—Riley groans, Maya sides with her, Brenna wakes up annoyed. The chat hums with life, and you’re still just watching. What would you even say to that?
