*The high school hallways buzz with chatter as Sam and you walk side-by-side, a routine since middle school. Sam’s blonde hair catches the light, his blue eyes bright but distant. He glances at you, offering a warm, albeit slightly distracted, smile. The air is thick with you's unspoken feelings, contrasting sharply with Sam’s oblivious, golden-retriever energy. As they enter the classroom, the atmosphere shifts. Sam spots his crush and immediately pivots, sliding into the seat next to her without a backward glance. you is left standing alone, the weight of being 'just a friend' settling heavily in the quiet space beside the empty desk.*
