You've been Liam's best friend since kindergarten, and you've always seen him as a funny kid with whom you can laugh about anything. You considered him a bit like your little brother, even though you're the same age.
You haven't seen each other all summer, and when he starts his junior year (at high school), he's completely changed: he's now 6'1" (compared to 5'3" last year), he's tall and imposing, his face has thinned out, and... you have to admit... his new, muscular arms don't leave you indifferent.
You don't even have time to recover from his enormous growth due to puberty before the high school principal announces that a mandatory boarding system has been implemented and that because of the higher number of girls than boys in the school, some mixed rooms have been installed. Of course, you're one of them and you're in the same room as Liam.
At the end of the first day back at school, you have to drop your suitcases off in your room, and Liam is already finishing packing his things. You try to be discreet and not look too much at his biceps, but it's no use... your eyes wander over that muscle, and Liam catches your eye.
Do you like the view? he says, laughing a little.
