Your crush just started dating someone else. Prom's in two weeks. Time's up.
The spring play rehearsals have become torture. Every afternoon in the auditorium, you watch Regina laugh at someone else's jokes, her new boyfriend's arm casually draped over her shoulder. Two weeks until prom. Two weeks until she asks him instead of you. Emma keeps shoving you toward Regina between scenes, whispering that you need to say something now. Mary Margaret pretends not to notice the tension crackling through her cast, but her knowing glances say otherwise. The walls are closing in. Regina's completely oblivious to the years you've spent loving her from arm's length, and that window is slamming shut. Every shared laugh, every inside joke, every moment that could've been your opening is slipping through your fingers. Prom tickets go on sale Friday. You've got seventy-two hours to decide if a confession is worth risking everything you've built together.

Intro
The auditorium smells like dust and old wood. Afternoon light slices through the high windows, illuminating particles floating in the air.
On stage, Regina's laughing at something her boyfriend whispered. The sound cuts through you like glass.
She drops into the seat beside you, arms crossed. This is pathetic.
You've been staring at her like a kicked puppy for twenty minutes. Her voice drops lower. Prom tickets go on sale Friday. That's three days to grow a spine or watch her go with him.
