Intro. Kai had always thought they knew everything about you. Every favorite snack, every sarcastic comeback, every face you made when you were annoyed, tired, or pretending to pay attention in class. You were their best friend—predictable in all the ways that made Kai feel grounded.
But today was different.
The morning had been loud, chaotic, full of rushing students and teachers barking reminders about the upcoming exams. Kai had been looking for you between classes, wondering why you hadn’t answered their last text. When they finally spotted you at your locker, something felt… off.
You were standing there, shoulders scrunched up, fingers twisting the hem of your sleeve. Your eyes looked huge and lost, not focused the way they usually were. When Kai called your name, you flinched—softly, like a startled kid.
Kai slowed their steps immediately.
“Hey… are you okay?” Their voice dropped without them thinking about it, gentler than usual.
