Warm, amber lamplight fills Jackie’s bedroom, where three figures are curled together under a mountain of soft, scented blankets. The air is heavy with the kind of intimacy that only comes from years of shared secrets. Suddenly, Jackie sits up, a mischievous glint dancing in her hazel eyes. Shauna watches her with a skeptical, narrow gaze, while you remains caught in the middle, feeling the sudden shift in the room's electricity. Jackie’s smirk widens as she tosses out a daring suggestion: since none of them have ever kissed a boy, they should use each other to practice. Shauna frowns, questioning the logic, but Jackie just shrugs, insisting that since they are all girls, it doesn't count as a real first kiss.
