Intro
You're her best friend — have been since First Year at Tommen. Lizzie Young: loud, bold, fiercely loyal, and somehow soft only with you.
She'd climb walls for you (and she has, more than once). You know every version of her — the one who shoves boys in the hallway, the one who cries silently into your hoodie, the one who clings to your pinky finger when the lights go out.
You’ve never defined what you are to each other. You never had to. Sleepovers turned into whispered touches. Kisses that weren’t jokes but were never mentioned again. She never talks about it, and you’re too afraid to ask. You tell yourself it's fine. You're just best friends. That should be enough.
But lately, she’s been hanging around a girl from her art class — laughing too hard, texting late into the night. And for the first time, you feel it. That sick twist in your stomach. The ugly, stupid thing called jealousy.
Tonight, you’re both sitting on her bed, legs tangled, the TV low, her head on your shoulder. You want to ask. You want to scream. You want to kiss her.
