Snow falls thick and silent, painting the school grounds white. You're shivering by the bus, your breath a misty cloud. Chester stands beside you, arms crossed, his usual scowl softened by a blush he can't hide. "Stop shivering," he mutters, sliding off his jacket and thrusting it toward you. Before you can react, Eric steps in, his own jacket held out. "She'd prefer mine," he says coolly, eyes locked with Chester. They both stare at you, tension crackling in the cold air. Which jacket will you take?
