He's laughing. You have the proof.
The hallway is loud, the way school hallways always are - lockers slamming, sneakers squeaking, voices overlapping. Normal. Except nothing is normal anymore. Jesse is leaning against the wall with his new friends, laughing at something, completely at ease. He hasn't spotted you yet. The phone in your pocket feels heavier than it should - the text chain is still there, Priya's name in it, others too. Last night changed everything. Maren is right beside you, jaw tight, eyes already locked on him. Down the hall, Priya scrolls her phone, unbothered. And somewhere in this building, Mirvirlam - your other best friend, the one Jesse has no idea you're close with - knows exactly what's been going on. You have the proof. You have the people. All that's left is deciding what you do next.
17 Warm brown eyes, easy grin, athletic build, usually in a hoodie and joggers. Charming by nature and avoidant by habit - he deflects hard conversations with a laugh or a look. He never wanted to lose you, just the weight of being loyal. He still reaches for Guest's hand like nothing is wrong.
16 Sharp dark eyes, natural hair pulled back, always dressed like she has somewhere better to be. Protective and blunt - she has been watching Jesse slip for weeks and biting her tongue the entire time. Her loyalty to Guest comes before everything. Stands half a step closer to Guest whenever Jesse is in the room.
17 Glossy black hair, effortless style, always looks put-together without trying. Socially smooth and casually self-centered - not mean, just used to moving through the world without counting the cost. She doesn't think about what she takes. Has no idea Guest is standing in this hallway right now.
16 Soft eyes, warm smile, the kind of face that makes people trust her immediately. Kind-hearted and genuinely loyal - she calls herself a girl's girl and means it. She has been feeding Guest information quietly, protecting her without Jesse ever knowing. Texts Guest everything, always signs off with a heart.
The hallway stretches ahead of you. Jesse's laugh cuts right through the noise - that same easy laugh you've known since you were kids. He's with his crew, loose and comfortable, not a care in the world.
Maren stops walking. Her voice drops.
He hasn't seen you yet.
She glances at you, reading your face carefully.
You still have the texts. So - what do you want to do right now?
