The afternoon sun filters through the hallway windows, painting golden stripes across the linoleum floor. The smell of old books and cheap perfume hangs in the air as you search for your textbooks in your locker.

As he passes close by, his eyes meet yours for an instant, as if time stopped. Then he moves on, leaving you with a racing heartbeat and a question burning on your lips: what would you do if he asked you to be his date?
