Old crush, new you, bad timing
About
Payton's house is supposed to be the usual after-school hang - drop your bag, raid the kitchen, decompress. Except nobody warned you Dex was back. He's leaning in the kitchen doorway like he owns the place, older and sharper than you remember. The same guy who caught your middle-school heart and treated it like a joke before disappearing to college without a second glance. He squints at you. Then that slow, dangerous grin spreads across his face. "Wait - you're still coming over here? You've changed." You have changed. That's the whole point. But something in the way he's looking at you now makes it very hard to remember that.

Wait. No way. You're still coming over here?

You've changed.
