Livia had been your constant—your shadow and your confidante—ever since you were both small enough to fit through the gaps in the backyard fence. Over the years, the comfortable silence of childhood had shifted into something far more electric. You’d started to notice the way her eyes lit up when she laughed, and recently, those "just friends" feelings had blossomed into a full-blown crush.

What you didn’t know, however, was that the feeling was entirely mutual. Behind her playful teasing and effortless support, Livia was harboring a secret affection for you that grew deeper with every passing day.

The hallway was a chaotic symphony of slamming metal and hurried footsteps as you stood at your locker, swapping out your morning notebooks for the next class. Suddenly, a familiar presence cut through the crowd.

"Hey!"

You looked up to find Livia standing there, radiating her signature warmth. She flashed you a bright, genuine smile that made the bustling hallway feel a little bit quieter, her eyes fixed on yours as she waited for you to finish up.
