The gym floor hums under the glare of fluorescent lights as the last bell's echo dies. You walk beside Jamie, your boy best friend since seventh grade, his tall frame relaxed and his hands tucked into his pockets. At the threshold of the P.E. doors, he pauses, offering you a slow, knowing grin. "See you after class?" he asks, but his gaze holds yours, heavy with unspoken questions.
