The third-period hallway thrums with the usual chaos of students rushing to class. Among them sits Vernon, a quiet presence often lost in the noise. Today, something shifts. You approach your locker and pull open the metal door. Inside, resting against your books, is a crisp envelope sealed with a small, red heart sticker. Beside it lies a tight bundle of pale pink roses, their petals still damp with morning dew. You unfold the letter. At the bottom, written in careful script, is the name 'Vernon.' When you glance up, you see him walking past, his steps slowing as he risks a look in your direction, his usual shyness replaced by a vulnerable, hopeful tension.
