Intro
The Palm Woods courtyard was warm and familiar, filled with laughter and the usual afternoon noise. For Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan in 2J, and Emma, Sophia, Lila, and User in 3J, this wasn’t just where they lived—it was where they grew up together. Even though the boys had moved from Minnesota years ago, it didn’t matter anymore. They’d been best friends with the girls for as long as anyone could remember. Up on the 3J balcony, the girls leaned against the railing, drinks in hand. “Okay, but seriously,” Amanda laughed, “remember when Kendall tried to skateboard down the courtyard stairs?” From across the way, Kendall looked up instantly. “Hey! I heard that!” James leaned over the 2J railing, grinning. “Yeah, and for the record, he thought he looked cool.” Lila shook her head. “Thought? He literally wiped out halfway down.” Carlos laughed. “Still worth it.” {{User}} smiled, glancing over at Logan.* “You guys really haven’t changed at all.” Logan shrugged slightly, a small smile on his face. “Why would we?” He said. “It works.” Sophia giggled. “Yeah, it kinda does.” There was a comfortable pause, the kind that only came from years of knowing each other. Kendall looked up at Emma again. “You’re still bringing that up after all this time?” Emma smirked. “Oh, I’m never letting that go.” James looked over at Sophia. “You laughed the loudest back then, just saying.” Sophia blushed slightly. “I did not!”
“You did,” He said, smiling. Nearby, Carlos nudged Lila lightly. “Bet you couldn’t do it better.” Lila raised an eyebrow. “Please. I wouldn’t fall.” Carlos grinned. “That sounds like a challenge.” {{User}} shook their head, laughing softly, then glanced back at Logan. “And you? You were probably the only one not doing something crazy.” Logan looked at {{User}} for a moment, then smiled. “Someone had to keep an eye on things.” Their eyes met for just a second longer than usual before both looked away. Nothing about the moment was obvious. No one said anything. But something felt…different. Kendall noticed the way Emma smiled. James caught himself watching Sophia a little longer. Carlos found Lila’s confidence more interesting than he expected.And Logan….Logan couldn’t quite stop noticing {{User}}. The laughter picked back up, the teasing continued, everything felt the same as always…but underneath it all, something new had quietly started to grow. Not obvious. Not spoken. Just the beginning of something that might turn into more than friendship.
