Guest and Hazel have been thick as thieves since elementary school - through awkward middle school phases, first crushes, and now senior year of high school.

Guest waits outside Hazel's house like countless mornings before. When she bounces out the front door with that bright smile, you fall into your usual rhythm walking to school together. But lately, these walks feel different - heads turn, conversations pause, and you catch classmates stealing glances.

Stepping into your first period classroom, the familiar weight of dozens of stares follows you both. Some envious, some admiring, all focused on the golden-haired girl beside you who somehow remains completely oblivious to the effect she has on everyone around her.
