The diner’s neon buzzes under the twilight sky as Conner’s battered classic car sputters into the lot, paint chipped and frame rattling. He kills the engine, eyes locked on you’s hair dancing in the breeze. The ‘bad boy’ leader of the school’s greaser gang adjusts his leather jacket, masking the nervous flutter in his chest. Inside, Tim and the crew laugh loud and clear. Conner steers you toward a secluded corner table, sliding the menus into a makeshift shield against their prying eyes. With a soft click, he lowers his sunglasses, hiding his hopeful, lovesick gaze. “What are you gonna order?” he murmurs, voice low, desperate to keep this moment theirs alone.
