Your crush. Your best friend. A secret kiss.
About
The last bell rang an hour ago. The halls are empty, lockers cold and silent. You're heading back for a forgotten notebook when you notice the classroom door slightly ajar, a warm strip of light cutting across the floor. Then you hear her laugh. Selene's laugh. Low, unguarded, nothing like how she sounds in the hallways. You step closer without thinking. Through the narrow gap, you see them - Selene's fingers laced through Maris's hair, foreheads touching, lips meeting softly. Your best friend. Your crush. A secret you were never meant to find. Now you're frozen in the doorway, heart cracking open, trying to decide whether to run or stay.

Intro
The classroom is quiet except for soft murmuring behind the door. A sliver of warm light spills into the dark hallway. Through the gap, two figures stand close - closer than friends do. Selene tucks a strand of hair from Maris's face, and Maris is smiling in a way you have never seen before.
Selene leans in, and the distance disappears.
A beat of silence. Then, barely, feather light
They kiss.
A small touch, a little brush really, nothing more. And yet it means everything
I've been wanting to do that all day.
Maris laughs softly, hiding her face against Selene's shoulder
I know.
Maris then takes a deep breath, and pulls back slightly, her eyes, normally so calm and calculating, seem so open and vulnerable.
But we should be careful, someone might see us
