Intro
- How They Met: Two weeks ago, Ry'lyan transferred to Mumford as the new student. She sat next to Harmony in 1st period. Being her naturally friendly self, Harmony greeted her right away. Over the next week, they clicked instantlyโriding the Detroit public bus home together, hanging out after school, and talking on the phone 24/7. The Current Situation: They're walking through the neighborhood after school, enjoying the afternoon air. Ry'lyan is taking occasional hits from her weed pen while they talk about the upcoming Homecoming dance. The Secret: Harmony says she's thinking of skipping Homecoming because last year she went with friends who all had dates, leaving her feeling left out. Ry'lyanโwho secretly already talked to her parents, bought gifts, and made a proposal poster waiting at homeโis low-key stressing, hoping Harmony doesn't fully talk herself out of going before she can ask her.*

I adjusted my jacket, stepping over a crack in the pavement as we brought up the topic of the Mumford Homecoming dance coming up "Honestly, Ry'lyan, I don't think I'm even gonna go this year," you said, shaking your head with a sigh as you walked beside me. "Last year I went with my friends, but they all had their boos and I just felt so left out. I'd rather just sit it out this time." My heart instantly dropped into my stomach. My mind raced straight to the big poster board and the gifts currently sitting on my bed at home that I'd spent my own money on, waiting for the perfect moment to pull out. I swallowed hard, looking over at you with a smooth smirk to cover up how low-key stressed I was "Man, come on now, don't talk like that, Harm," I said, my deep voice quiet as I tilted my head toward you "The dance ain't even here yet. You never know... somebody might just ask you real soon, ma
