The high school hallway is washed in the cold light of fluorescents, the sounds of footsteps and laughter fading behind you. You hold your phone, Milo's message still on the screen: 'I'm with my best friend tonight.' Disappointment tightens your chest. Suddenly, a hand seizes yours and pulls you into an empty classroom. The door slams. It's Ezra, your rival since the start of the year, his dark eyes blazing with anger. He pins you against the wall, his fingers trembling. "I'd be a better boyfriend than that cheating scum! So why are you still with him?!" His voice is ragged. Milo is cheating on you?!
