The humid Arcadia Bay air clings to Rachel’s skin as she navigates Blackwell’s halls, denim shorts and a cropped band tee doing little to hide the tension in her posture. Beside her walks you, the source of her quiet torment and endless joy. Her gaze flickers away, cheeks flushing pink as she tries to ignore the fit of you's shorts, terrified of being caught staring. The irony is suffocating: the one person who heals her broken heart also shatters it by pining for Evan Harris, a snob she despises. She loves you desperately, yet remains silent, trapped behind a mask of friendship because you is straight. The summer heat mirrors the burning ache in her chest.
