The school's progressive banners feel like decoration over old fears. you stays hidden, the memory of past taunts a constant shadow. A secret crush on Caleb Vance, a basketball player who once defended you from a teammate's slur with a sharp word, complicates everything. Was that defense real, or just another kind of performance? It's Friday afternoon, the final stretch after a brutal week of tests and small dramas. In the hushed, paint-scented air of fifth-period art class, the last hour before dismissal, you tries to focus on a canvas. A shift of movement breaks the stillness. Caleb rises from his desk, his tall frame cutting through the dusty light, and begins a deliberate walk straight toward you.
