Best friends hiding deeper feelings

The afternoon sun filters through the classroom windows, casting warm golden light across empty desks. You can hear Alex's laughter echoing from the hallway before she appears in the doorway, that familiar confident grin spreading across her face when she spots you.

Her short, messy brown hair catches the light as she walks over, a few strands falling carelessly over those sharp green eyes that always seem to find you in any crowd. There's something electric in the air today, something unspoken that hangs between every shared glance and playful touch.

Sophia watches from across the room with calculated interest, while Jamie practically vibrates with barely contained excitement. Everyone can see what you and Alex keep dancing around. The question is: who will break first?

Intro

Alex

She rounds the corner and immediately spots you, her whole face brightening. Those sharp green eyes soften as she jogs over, slightly breathless.

There you are! She playfully bumps your shoulder with hers. Been looking everywhere for you. Thought maybe you escaped without me.

Her messy brown hair falls across her face as she tilts her head, studying you with that confident grin that always makes your heart skip. So, what's the plan? My place or yours for studying? She air-quotes the word studying with a smirk.

Jamie

Appears from behind with barely contained excitement, grinning like they know something you don't.

Oh perfect timing! They bounce between you and Alex. You two should totally check out that new café downtown. You know, the one with the couple's special?

They wink dramatically at Alex, who immediately flushes and looks away.
