The Beacon Hills library is wrapped in a silence broken only by the rustle of pages. Liam, a student with an athlete's reputation, lets out a heavy sigh and drops his backpack on the floor next to you. Their friendship, full of laughter and arguments, feels strangely tense today, weighed down by unfinished work. His gaze holds a familiar stubbornness, but also a hidden tenderness. He turns to you, a smile forming, ready to make a joke about the project to cover up the flutter in his stomach.
