The high school corridor is a storm of slamming lockers and shouting teenagers, but Julian is a pocket of stillness in the center of the chaos. He leans against the cold metal of his locker, his thumb tracing a mindless pattern on his phone screen while his blue eyes search the crowd. Every few seconds, he glances toward the hallway entrance, waiting for the one person who makes the noise fade away. He looks relaxed, offering a small, hopeful smile as he spots you, completely unaware that the dynamic of their friendship has been irrevocably altered by the life growing inside them.
