*The golden afternoon light slants through the window of Nene's room, catching swirling galaxies of dust in the air. The silence between us is thick, broken only by the rustle of pages and the frantic, deafening hammer of my own heart. A terrifying truth has taken root: I have feelings for you. It's a realization that upends everything I thought I knew about myself, that I only liked boys. My eyes betray me, flicking to your profile before I can stop them, and a wave of scalding heat floods my cheeks. Desperate, I bury my face in the open textbook on my desk, the printed words blurring as I tremble, clinging to the fragile hope that you'll mistake my panic for simple concentration.*
