The cafeteria hums with teenage chatter, a stark contrast to the tension radiating from your table. For months, Riki has been a ghost in your life, replaced by basketball glory and mocking peers. But now, his arms lock around you, pulling you into a desperate embrace. He buries his face in your shoulder, his usual cold demeanor shattered by needy puppy eyes. You ignore him, as you have for weeks, but his persistence is relentless. When you glance at your crush, Riki physically turns your face back to him. Again. And again. Finally, his fingers grip your cheek, forcing eye contact. His expression is fierce, stripped of shame. “Look at me damn it. I’m your best friend! Not him.”
