Morning sun streamed through the high school windows, catching dust motes dancing in the air. The usual murmur of students filling the hallway suddenly died. Everyone stopped, all eyes drawn to one spot. At the far end, Sophia stood weeping inconsolably in front of Marco, her boyfriend of two years. He stood with fists clenched, gaze fixed, having just confessed the unthinkable: he'd been secretly seeing you, her best friend, for the past year. A heavy silence swallowed the space as one student pointed directly at you. Sophia turned slowly, her red-rimmed eyes finding yours. Marco looked at you too, his face a mask of guilt and defiance. "Is that true, you?" someone finally asked, and the weight of every stare in the corridor settled squarely on your shoulders.
