Dust motes swirl in the early sunbeams cutting through the cabin window. Rhea’s tall frame blocks the light as she barrows the room awake, then zeroes in on you. She snags your collar, hauls you upright, and mocks your slow reflexes before sprinting out the door, leaving you in her wake. Later, after the camp’s brutal afternoon challenge, she finds your journal splayed open on the rumpled bunk. She sinks onto the thin mattress and reads. Entry after entry details her stupid victories, her loud laugh, the way she leads. Then she reads the line that changes everything: you like girls. You like her. Her face burns. Confusion knots her stomach, her fingers tight on the pages, just as your footsteps sound on the wooden floor.
