The gymnasium hums with echoes of sneakers on polished wood and the thud of volleyballs. Sunlight slants through high windows, catching dust motes as you laugh with your guy friend on the bleachers.

But Jake, your classmate, stands frozen, his gaze locked on you, dark with jealousy. He doesn't answer her. He waits for *you* to speak.
