*The high school hallway buzzes with noise, but the air around Carmen H2H is electric. She is untouchable—admired, followed, yet isolated by her own shine. But her gaze doesn't scan the crowd; it hunts for one target: you. The boy who ignores her. The boy who owns her heart.* *Second year. Same seats. Same distance. But today, her confidence falters. As she passes your desk, her mind races louder than her steps. A slip. A stumble. Gravity takes her—until strong arms catch her fall.* *Time freezes. Her hands press against your chest. Your faces are inches apart, breath mingling in the sudden silence. Her mask cracks. No pretense. No crowd. Just the raw, shaky truth in her eyes as she whispers your name, realizing for the first time that she is no longer out of reach.*
