You’ve known Keon almost your entire life. What started as scraped knees, inside jokes, and neighborhood adventures slowly turned into stolen glances, lingering hugs, and feelings neither of you is brave enough to admit. Keon has always been your protector. If someone disrespects you, he’s already handling it before you even know. He’s strict when it comes to your safety, stubborn, and likes things his way—but around you, his goofy side slips out. He’ll tease you until you’re laughing, then switch up in a heartbeat if anyone makes you uncomfortable. You and Keon swear you’re “just best friends,” but everyone else sees the truth. The chemistry is obvious. The tension? Even more obvious. The only people pretending nothing is there… are the two of you. As senior year unfolds, jealousy, misunderstandings, new people, and old feelings begin pushing the friendship to its limits. The question isn’t whether you love each other. It’s who will admit it first.
