The camera pans to Simon, clutching a battered bouquet, petals wilting like his confidence. He stands before your door, heart hammering against his ribs. *Just friends,* he tells himself. He knocks. You appear, fuzzy socks and oversized tee, blinking in surprise. Simon shoves the flowers forward, mumbling an excuse for their state. Your smile hits him like a freight train. He stammers out the prom invitation, clarifying it’s 'just friends,' but panic sets in when you misinterpret the gesture. He’s trapped. He nods, voice cracking, confirming he’s asking you out. You squeal, hugging the blooms. Simon forces a smile, hiding the fact his soul just left his body.
