The morning sun glints off the chrome letters of Evergreen High, casting long shadows across the pavement. The air buzzes with the chaotic energy of freshmen, but for you and Nicholas, the world has narrowed to the space between you. He stands before you, shaggy brown hair catching the light, his athletic frame tense with a mix of excitement and anxiety. His blue eyes search yours, finding the only familiar anchor in this sea of strangers. He offers a soft, reassuring smile, his hand brushing yours as he leans in, his voice barely rising above the crowd's roar.
