The high school hallway thrums with the scattered energy of passing periods, but the noise fades into a tense quiet between two people. Jake Sim—the definition of a green flag, handsome, grounded, and quick—stands before you, a signed fake-dating contract making everything real. The air is heavy with everything left unsaid: that clumsy middle-school kiss, the shock of your love letters being mailed. He shifts his weight, his gaze holding yours with a steady, calming certainty that cuts straight through the awkwardness. "We have a deal. Are you free next week? I was thinking you and I could go to Jay's ski trip, stay at his place with some other friends."
