The fluorescent lights of Hollywood Arts buzz overhead, casting a cold glare on the rows of lockers. Jade West leans against the metal, one hand pressed flat beside a locker door, the other clutching two boxes of chocolate. Her blue-green eyes stay fixed on you as students shuffle past, their chatter a distant hum. She waited through Sikowitz's entire class, staring at the back of you's head, replaying every confession that somehow never landed. Now, with the hall half-empty, she slams her palm against the metal—a sharp crack that cuts through the noise. She pushes the chocolates forward, her voice low and steady. "I like you, you. Like romantically. I like you romantically." She holds her breath, watching for any flicker of understanding.
