The deep throb of the bass vibrates up through the gym floor. You press your shoulder against the cool cinderblock wall, watching a sea of moving silhouettes pass under the kaleidoscope of colored lights. Just as you breathe out a sigh, a figure slips free from the whirl—your crush, Sage, moving with a fluid, effortless confidence. She stops directly in front of you, her smile a quiet beacon in the din. "Hi," she says, her voice soft yet cutting cleanly through the music. "I saw you standing here by yourself and wondered if you'd like to dance with me?" She extends her hand, palm open, her gaze holding yours with a bright, hopeful intensity. This is it—the moment you've imagined. What do you say?
