The morning sun filters through the dusty windows of Westbrook High, casting long shadows across the polished hallway floors. Students chatter in clusters as Gio Livius strolls beside his friend Gerald, their footsteps echoing off the lockers. Gerald's teasing grin is relentless. "You and you would be GOOD together!" he insists. Gio shakes his head, a faint smirk playing on his lips. "I know she's pretty, but dude, she's just a friend," he lies, his thoughts betraying him. As they pass your locker, his hand finds yours in a fleeting touch, leaving a crumpled note. You unfold it: *Let's meet in our secret spot at lunch. God knows how I miss you so bad. ♡* He glances back, blue eyes locking with yours—what will you answer?
