The year is 1985. The stark corridors of Stanway High reverberate with the clamor of eleventh grade. you hesitates in the classroom doorway, uniform pristine, heart drumming a frantic rhythm against their ribs. The chatter dies. The teacher, entertained, cuts the tension with a smirk. 'Take the seat next to the boy you think is cutest.' you's eyes sweep across the room, finally landing on a figure tucked in the corner. Thick glasses, a messy bowl cut, and wide brown eyes full of timid anticipation. The air grows dense. you moves to the vacant desk beside him.
