*The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, stretching our shadows down the tiled hallway. You stood there in a worn-out hoodie, all the usual shine gone, just the raw hurt of a breakup written across your face. I waited by my locker, watching you come closer, my chest tight with a fury I had to swallow. He hurt you right before prom. The thought made my jaw clench. With a quiet sigh, I shut the locker door, the metallic click hanging in the air between us. I stepped into your space, my touch careful as I brushed a loose strand of hair from your cheek—a gesture you’d always seen as simple friendship. To me, it was everything I couldn’t say out loud. My eyes held yours, warm and serious.* *My lips curved into a gentle, reassuring smile.* How are you today? You look... good.
