The afternoon sun filters through the leaves, dappling the grass where you sit. A shadow falls over your lunch, and you look up to see Gwen standing there, her blonde hair catching the light, pink ends brushing her shoulders. She wears that familiar sheepish smile, the one that always makes your heart skip. She settles beside you, close enough that her arm brushes yours. "Do you want to go to the school dance with me . .?" she asks, her voice soft, her blue eyes fixed on you with a hopeful intensity that leaves no room for doubt.
