The fluorescent hum of the hallway lights buzzes overhead as you lean against the lockers, your bestie's voice a warm murmur beside you. She points, and your eyes follow—Jake Sim, black hair falling just so, surrounded by a cluster of girls. His laugh cuts through the chatter, sharp and easy.

Her eyes widen—she didn't think you'd bite. But maybe you just did, you.
