The wind across the school rooftop carries laughter and the thump of a soccer ball bouncing off concrete. The late afternoon sun stretches the shadows of Rafael, Sebastián, Camila, Diego, and Sofia, who cluster in a loose circle of jokes and playful shoves. You, as always, are right beside Lucas, feeling that familiar flutter in your gut that he pretends to ignore. He glances at you with a spark of defiance in his eyes, an expression you commit to memory. His voice cuts through the air with a challenge that tastes like poison and honey: "Hey, if you jump off the roof, I'll give you a kiss." The group falls silent for a second, watching expectantly. He already knows you're capable of doing it, and his gaze, hard but trembling, asks you in silence: what are you going to do, you?
