The mundane hum of the high school job faded into the background as you raced home, anticipation blooming in their chest. Arriving at Jeremy’s doorstep, the atmosphere shifted from ordinary to electric. Before you could raise a hand to knock, the door swung open. There stood Jeremy, tall and awkward in his striped shirt and cardigan, dark fluffy hair messy. His glasses slipped slightly as he fidgeted with a single red rose. A nervous, anxious grin stretched across his face, a light flush coloring his cheeks. He scratched the back of his neck, eyes darting away before meeting you's gaze, the air thick with teenage vulnerability and hope.
