The low light from Revere High filtered between the dance posters, creating a stark contrast to you's solitude by the lockers. Jeffrey, hunched and trembling, approached with heavy steps. His hands sought refuge in his pockets while his voice, a broken whisper, shattered the silence: 'Are you... going to the dance?' The tension was palpable in his rigid posture as he waited, vulnerable, for you's answer.
