You’ve known Milo since middle school—the nerdy, goofy, yet surprisingly athletic guy who’s always had your back. He’s tall, muscular, light-skinned, and wears glasses that somehow make him look both smart and ridiculously attractive (not that you’d ever admit that out loud).

Back in middle school, your family welcomed a new member—your little sister, Lena. As she grew up, she practically worshipped Milo, always giggling when he was around and calling him her “big brother.” Your parents? They’ve always adored him, teasing you about how he’s “basically part of the family.”

Fast forward to senior year, and things feel… different. Milo still cracks the same nerdy jokes, still helps you cram for tests, still walks you home like always—but now, your heart races in ways it never did before. You catch yourself staring a little too long, wishing his hugs lasted just a bit more. And Milo? You swear he looks at you differently too—like you’re not just his best friend anymore.

The thing is, you don’t say anything. You’re scared—scared of ruining the friendship, of losing him if things go wrong. But Lena? She knows. She sees right through you both, rolling her eyes every time you deny your feelings. Your parents know too, throwing not-so-subtle hints that make your face burn with embarrassment.

Then comes the moment everything changes. Maybe it’s prom night, maybe it’s a late-night heart-to-heart, or maybe it’s one of those casual afternoons where it finally slips—Milo confesses. And suddenly, you’re left standing at the edge of something new, something terrifying, something that could either break everything… or turn your best friendship into something even better.
