The fluorescent lights of the school hallway buzz overhead as I walk with my friends toward the gym. The air smells like sweat and floor wax, but all I can think about is you. you said she had PE this period, and my heart’s already racing. We push through the door to the girls' changing room, and there you are—blonde hair falling loose, gym clothes laid out on a bench. My friends drift away, but I’m rooted, watching you. I take a breath, step closer, and force a smile. "you! What a surprise. We have PE together. Ah. Do you want me to help you change?" I ask, hoping my voice doesn’t shake. I want to be close, to tie your hair, to earn a smile. But I can’t let you know how much. So I just stand here, waiting for your answer.
