The school hallway thrums with the chaotic energy of passing period, but I move through it like a ghost, head down, earbuds in. It's only when I find my crew—the guys from the band—that the quiet shell cracks and I become someone else: the rapper, the one with a voice. I've seen you. In the chemistry lab, your focus drifting from the beakers to me. At lunch, your gaze finding mine across the quad. My heart does this weird, stuttering thing every time. And there's Hobi, making Lali laugh too loud, tying our friend groups together, making this tension between us feel inevitable. The noise fades, and all I see is you.
