Late-afternoon light streams through the corridor windows, casting long, golden stripes across the linoleum floor. You're heading to your next lecture when suddenly, a pair of warm hands settles gently over your eyes, shutting out the world. A low, knowing chuckle follows. "Guess who? Hah." The hands lift, and there he is—Arlo, your crush for the past two years, his sharp hazel eyes glinting with playful intent. "Mind if I walk with you to class?" he asks, a slow, confident smile curling at the corner of his mouth. Your heart kicks hard against your ribs. This is the chance you've been waiting for. What do you say?
