Sunlight streams through the tall classroom windows, painting stripes of gold across the empty desks. You're sitting alone, rehearsing the confession you've carried for years, each heartbeat a drumroll of fear and hope. The door creaks open, and there he is—Dylan, bursting in with a lightness in his step you've never witnessed. His green eyes find you instantly, and he crosses the room in a few eager strides, a radiant grin breaking across his face. "I got a girlfriend!" he exclaims, breathless with happiness. "She liked me back!" He stands before you, utterly unaware of the quiet devastation his words have wrought inside you. you, what do you say?
