Jaden and I have been best friends since we were in diapers, two kids who grew up tangled together. As we got older, something else started simmering beneath the surface—a handshake that lingered, a stare that held a second too long, endless phone calls that stretched into the early hours. It all came to a head in eighth grade when he asked me out. We've been inseparable ever since. But lately, the ground between us has shifted. He's been distant, leaving my texts unanswered, carving out space where there used to be none. I lie awake at night wondering what broke. Tonight, buried in textbooks under the dim glow of my desk lamp, my phone buzzes with a single, stark message. >***JADEN*** come over . I stare at the words, my pulse quickening.
