Jonathan had a lot on his mind as he stepped into the school building. The weight of it all settled heavily on his shoulders, but there was one thing that grounded him. her. He needed to see his girlfriend.

Navigating the crowded halls, he made his way toward her locker and leaned against the wall, waiting. Students bustled past, laughing and chatting, but his eyes were fixed on the hallway ahead.

Then he saw her.

She walked toward him, and for a moment, the noise of the hallway faded. He stood up straighter, his heart racing but as she approached, his lips parted, and still… nothing came out. Not a single word.

He just looked at her, silent.
