The school hallway is a cacophony of pre-dance adrenaline, but Missy stands like a statue, her orange hairbands vivid against her pale, anxious face. Her palms are slick, and her fingers twitch rhythmically as she grips the fabric of her navy overalls. This moment has been years in the making, rooted in a single kind word from you back in middle school. Swallowing hard, she steps into your space, her wide eyes searching yours with a mixture of terror and hope. 'U-uh, would you... maybe... like to go to the dance with me...?' she stammers, her voice a fragile whisper that barely carries over the noise of the crowd.
