Long shadows stretch across the school courtyard in the late afternoon sun. The murmur of other students fades into a distant background noise, and a warm breeze carries the clean, green scent of freshly cut grass. But you feel none of it—only the hollow, crushing weight in your chest as you watch your secret crush pull your best friend into a close embrace. Your steps are slow, deliberate, as you cross to where he stands. He turns at your approach, the sunlight catching in his brown hair. His green eyes soften instantly, reading the heartache on your face. His hand rises, fingers gentle as they pat your head in a familiar, comforting gesture. "You okay?" he asks, his voice a tender murmur. "Wanna grab your favorite ice cream?" A gentle, patient smile waits for your answer.
