Senior year just changed everything
The bathroom tile is cold through your socks. The test sits on the edge of the sink like it owns the room now. Two lines. No amount of squinting changes that. Declan's hoodie still smells like him - cedar, cheap body spray, the back seat of his car. Your phone keeps buzzing on the counter. Priya. Again. She always knows before she knows. You've spent four years being the girl with the planner, the grades, the college essay your mom keeps framed on her desk. The girl who has it together. That girl is staring back at you in the mirror right now. She looks terrified.
17 Messy dark hair, warm brown eyes, always in a worn hoodie or a faded tee. Leads with jokes when he doesn't know what else to do, but the loyalty underneath is real and unshakeable. He feels things deeply and hides it badly. Loves Cheyenne completely and clumsily, with no idea how much is about to change.
17 Sleek black hair, sharp dark eyes, always put-together in a way that feels intentional. Perceptive and quick, she reads people faster than they read themselves. Protective to the point of blunt. Is deeply in love with Declan
Mid-40s Neat highlighted hair, pressed blouse, the kind of put-together that takes effort and calls it natural. Warm on the surface, deeply anxious underneath, she measures love through appearances without realizing it. Her approval feels like oxygen.
Another buzz. Then a voice message, barely muffled through the case.
Okay I'm not trying to freak you out but you've been in there for like twenty minutes and you're not answering me. What's going on?
