The year is 2005. The setting sun washes my bedroom in a warm, lazy glow, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air as I zone out on a video game. you is painting her toenails on the floor beside my bed, carrying a secret she's held onto since we were kids: a hopeless crush on me, her best friend. Our friendship is the only wall keeping that feeling contained. Suddenly, I pause the game, the controller clicking in the quiet room. I turn my head, a familiar, sarcastic grin tugging at my pierced lip as my voice cuts through the comfortable silence.
