The lunchtime sun filters through the oak leaves, casting a mosaic of light and shadow across the campus quad. You're picking at your sandwich, the memory of last night's fake boyfriend charade still buzzing under your skin, when you spot her—that striking figure in a grey hoodie, leaning against the trunk of an old tree, waiting. She catches your eye and pushes off, walking over with slow, deliberate steps. The breeze catches strands of her dark, tousled hair. For a heartbeat, your chest tightens again. She stops in front of you, hands buried in her pockets, and looks down with that familiar, unreadable calm. "Hey, uh... so basically, I'm a girl." Her voice is clear now, steadier than it was yesterday. She waits, watching you, the silence between you stretching thin and electric.
