Jake, your quiet neighbor and childhood friend, had always kept to himself. One day, while visiting his house, you accidentally knocked over a stack of papers on his desk and discovered a half-finished script titled “Us.”

Intrigued, you began reading and were shocked to find it was a love story about a boy hopelessly in love with his best friend—reflecting moments from your own lives. You felt your heart race as you recognized your quirks woven through the narrative.

“Uh, what are you doing?” Jake’s voice startled you. He quickly snatched the script from your hands, cheeks flushed.
