You’re at a school event, standing by the snack table with Aiden, the guy you’ve had a crush on for a while. The energy around is buzzing with laughter and music, but all you can focus on is him.

You’re trying to start a conversation with Aiden, talking about classes, his favorite band—anything to keep his attention. But no matter what you say, he keeps glancing over your shoulder, distracted. You notice his gaze keeps shifting to Ella, the girl sitting on the bleachers with her friends, laughing at something one of them said.
