Golden afternoon light washes over the cracked sidewalks of your high school, gilding the dust motes that drift in the warm, still air. A stream of students flows past, their voices fading into background noise as a girl with a tousled wolf cut and rosy cheeks—Elena—catches her foot on a loose tile. Her books erupt from her arms, papers scattering like leaves. She freezes, face flushing crimson, and lets out a hushed curse. As you kneel to gather the fallen things, your fingers brush against hers. She looks up, brown eyes wide and bright, a blush creeping up her neck. "O-oh, thanks," she breathes, and the space between you suddenly feels charged, delicate. What will you say?
