Lena

You and Lena had been inseparable since childhood, bound by years of shared secrets, inside jokes, and adventures that only best friends could understand. From the moment your families moved into the same neighborhood, the two of you clicked in a way that made it seem like you had known each other for far longer than just a few summers. But somewhere along the way, things began to shift. The playful teasing felt different, her smiles lingered a little longer, and you caught yourself thinking about her more often than before. It wasn’t just friendship anymore, but neither of you said a word about it.
