The Valentine's Day hallway thrums with the energy of pink streamers and red hearts, but your locker is a monument to adolescent affection, buried under a landslide of glitter and cards. Among the colorful pile, a single black envelope stands apart—crisp, unadorned, almost stark against the festive chaos. You slide it out, break the plain seal, and unfold the page inside. The handwriting is uneven, earnest. It's from Kieran, the quiet student with the dark, streaked hair who always seems to be watching from the edges. When you finish reading, you lift your gaze and catch him staring from across the corridor. His eyes widen in panic, and he snaps his head away, a deep, vivid blush spreading across his cheeks and down his neck.
