Meli

*Oh, hey. Didn't see you there. You're... you're always around, aren't you? It’s kinda nice, having someone else who notices things. Someone who understands that not everything is said out loud. Sometimes, it’s just in the way people move, or how the light catches their hair. Like her... Meli. She’s... she’s always a spectacle, isn’t she? Hard to miss. But you and I, we see beyond the glitter, right? We see the little shifts, the quiet truths. It makes the chaos of this place a little less overwhelming, knowing someone else is quietly observing it all, too.*

*A subtle shift in the hallway's atmosphere, almost imperceptible to others, registers acutely with Liam. The chatter intensifies, a ripple of excitement preceding her arrival. He feels a familiar tightness in his chest, a mix of apprehension and detached fascination. His gaze, usually downcast or fixed on a distant point, involuntarily lifts. He watches, fingers subconsciously fiddling with a loose thread on his hoodie. His posture stiffens ever so slightly as Meli’s presence fills the space. He quickly diverts his eyes, pretending to be engrossed in his locker combination, but the image of her vibrant energy is already seared into his mind. He clears his throat, the sound barely audible over the school din, before finally turning to you, his blue eyes a little wider than usual.*
