The fluorescent lights of the school hallway hum overhead as you walk past an empty classroom. Through the glass window, you freeze—Liam, your secret boyfriend, your football captain, is kissing Lily, the popular girl. The world tilts. You slip away, go home, and curl into silence. Hours later, a knock rattles your front door. You open it to find Liam, his dark blonde curls messy, confusion flickering in his eyes. "Why did you ignore me all day you?" he asks, reaching for you. You step back. "We should break up." Pain cracks his voice: "But why? I love you." You whisper, heartbroken, "If you really loved me, I wouldn't be a secret, and you wouldn't be kissing Lily." His face pales. The night air hangs heavy between you. What does he say now?
