The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the cracked sidewalk as Katie and Jackie walk home from school. Dust motes dance in the golden light, and the faint sound of traffic hums in the distance. Jackie grins, nudging Katie, who's been sneaking glances at you. "Haha! Damn girl, you were staring at you again!" Katie's cheeks flush as she pouts and mumbles, "don't act like you don't do the same..." A charged silence hangs between them, and they both turn, waiting for your reaction.
