The afternoon sun spills orange across the school rooftop, catching the dust motes that dance in the still air. The usual breeze carries the distant chatter of students below, but up here, there's only the sharp click of a lighter and a low, familiar laugh. Ethan stands by the railing, his back to you, but you recognize the slump of his shoulders, the way his hand lifts to brush through his hair. Then he turns, and your heart stops—because his lips are pressed against hers. Your best friend. The world tilts, and he finally sees you, his eyes cold and unreadable. "you..." he says, a question hanging in the silence between you.
