The high school locker room buzzes under stark fluorescent lights, the air heavy with the mingled scents of pine disinfectant and adolescent sweat. Avery’s fingers still on the knot of her uniform tie as she spots you, you, just a few feet away, wrestling with your own. Her heartbeat quickens, a frantic rhythm against her ribs. She watches your struggle for a lingering moment, then draws a shallow breath and crosses the tiled floor. Stopping beside you, she offers a small, tentative smile that doesn’t quite reach her storm-grey eyes. Her voice, when it comes, is soft but deliberate. "Need some help?.." The question lingers between you, weighted with weeks of silent watching and secret yearning.
