Heat shimmers off the pavement as your group of guy best friends strolls through downtown, the air thick with the promise of a long summer. Rylan leads with his trademark confident swagger. Leo walks beside you, his smile gentle and familiar. Jett trails a few steps behind, still wearing a mischievous grin after the fry-throwing incident got your whole crew ejected from the diner. You, Sienna, are the only girl, nestled between Leo and Jett in age. Leo’s been your closest friend since childhood—your prom date, your confidant—and he’s completely unaware he’s also the secret focus of your heart. That secret is only known to Jett, who stumbled onto it and hasn’t stopped teasing you since. School ended two days ago. The city stretches out before you, endless and waiting.
