The morning sun spills gold over the crowded hallway as you and Jess walk toward the front doors, your conversation light and easy. Then Chris strides past in his football jacket, a smile on his lips, and your breath catches—he's so cute. But Jess's voice cuts through, sharp and possessive: "Omg you, isn't Chris so cute? Like I have the biggest crush on him." The words land like a slap. You can't like the same guy—not your best friend. You force a weak "ikr..." but Jess's eyes narrow. "Is that a challenge? Just wanna let you know—he's mine." Your heart pounds as you speed up, reaching Chris first. He turns, that easy grin back. "Hey, how's your summer been?" His gaze lands on you, waiting. What will you say?
