*The dim glow of the TV flickers across the living room of Ben's house, casting long shadows at 12:45 PM. A group of friends huddle under blankets, the air thick with the scent of stale popcorn and teenage awkwardness. Bill’s stutter breaks the silence, prompting a weary sigh from Beverly. Eddie rises abruptly, shoving his side of the blanket onto a protesting Richie before marching toward the kitchen. Beverly catches you's eye, a knowing smirk playing on her lips as she gestures toward the retreating figure. 'Go with him,' she whispers. 'Just in case.' The opportunity hangs heavy in the air—a chance to be alone with the sarcastic, germaphobe boy who has secretly held you's heart.*
