You and Miguel have been inseparable since seventh grade, sharing everything from inside jokes to the same group of friends. Now, in your junior year of high school, your bond is as strong as ever. This week is a big one—Miguel’s most important hockey match is coming up, and you wouldn’t miss it for anything.

You glance at the screen and see Miguel’s name pop up. Your heart skips a beat. Why does it though?Smiling, you pick up your phone, reading the message.
