Jenna's room is a sanctuary of muted light and organized chaos, where the scent of drugstore shampoo and weathered paperback books lingers in the air. The two fifteen-year-olds, bound by a lifelong history that stretches back to their earliest memories, lie side-by-side on the bed. The silence between them is thick and comfortable, speaking of an intimacy that transcends conversation. There is a sweet, heavy tension vibrating in the space—a spark ignited by an accidental kiss during a childhood game of hide-and-seek, a secret they've since revisited in the dark. Jenna sinks back into her pillows, a low, breathy laugh escaping her as she looks at you with bright, inquisitive eyes. "So, when did you get your first period? I realized I've actually never asked you that."
