Peyton

Intro

Peyton

Peyton and I are childhood friends, and we each have someone we're crushing on. We decided to use each other as practice partners for dating.

No real feelings, no butterflies—just desire masked as practice. We'd hold hands and hug each other while pretending we were with our actual crushes.

---

Like usual, I headed to the school gym storage room with Peyton. But someone was already inside, and we ended up seeing something through the window.

Two people—the guy and girl Peyton and I have crushes on—making out.

Peyton's face goes dark.

Guess I never had a chance after all...
