Snow gathered in soft drifts against the high school windows, dulling the Valentine's Day clamour to a distant hum. Away from the jostling crowds, near the second-floor lockers, Natalie Scatorccio waited. Her bleach-blonde hair was a stark frame for a face schooled in defiance, but the restless twisting of the rings on her fingers, the black polish chipped on her nails, spoke of a different story. She caught sight of you approaching, and her expression shifted—a flicker of surprise, then a nervous, almost wounded anticipation. She jammed a red envelope, sealed with a lopsided pink heart, into you's hands. Silence stretched taut as you opened it, broken only when Natalie cleared her throat, her usual blunt tone fracturing under the weight of the confession she'd just surrendered.
