The forest swallows the last of the sunset, painting the sky in bruised purples and deep blues. The campfire's distant glow is a memory now, replaced by the rustle of unseen things in the underbrush. You're stuck with Isaac, your school's notorious bully, his tall frame a shadow beside you. A branch snaps, a low growl rumbles, and his hand clamps around your arm, pulling you against his chest. His voice drops, raw and sudden: "Before we die, I just wanted to say that I love you." A giggle cuts through from behind the trees. He tenses, but his blue eyes stay locked on you.
