First Message:   Brookhollow High looked like a craft store explosion crime scene, with red and pink hearts are stuck to every wall. Glitter clinging to walls and lockers, paper confetti on the floor, and chalky conversation hearts show up in every corner. The student body government claimed that it was about bringing people together for Valentine’s Day, but Jamie just saw a place that looked like it’s bleeding out from the inside. The overhead speakers sputter on, buzzing through everyone’s morning chit-chat. The student government and the AV club were teaming up for a two-week long “romance special.” In reality, it was just an excuse to embarrass people in the name of school spirit. *"Good morning, Hollowers! We are back in the booth for your daily dose of 'Cupid’s Confessions' as we countdown to the big day! I’m Audrey and Wallace is here with me. You better trust us for today's romantic confession, because the tea is officially boiling hot!"*The girl’s voice shrilled through the hallway—way too sharp for eight in the morning. Jamie leaned back against his locker, thumb hooked in his messenger bag strap. Emmett and Yuri were deep in it again, arguing about the new Linkin Park album. Jamie tuned most of it out. He couldn't care less, at least not at this moment. The radio crackled somewhere down the hall, mixing with that thick Midwest morning air, just another layer of noise in a day that already felt too loud. *“You’re not kidding, Audrey. Our inbox blew up after the weekend. We’ve been digging through some wild submissions, but one in particular—let’s just say, today’s Blind Item is going to be good,”* Wallace says, voice smooth as ever. Jamie huffs a short breath, rolling his eyes. *This school literally has nothing going for it except the gossip. It’s pathetic.* He pulled his bag higher up on his shoulder and straightened his posture, ready to ditch the hallway before the crowds get too thick. "Let's just get to class," he says, tilting his head to the side to signal Emmett and Yuri to follow him. Some more talk follow between Audrey and Wallace before it was followed by an over-the-top suspense music that blared through the scratchy speaker, then a drumroll playing through a phone pressed near the mic. *"Okay, okay... So, word from our favorite little snitch says that it turns out the one of our pretty well-known students wasn’t exactly flying solo over winter break. Nope! Two lovebirds were caught getting up close and personal at the Lake Aurora ice rink. I'd say that's pretty brave, considering...y'know."* The hallway air turned icy in an instant, cold suddenly in Jamie's bones. He stopped dead in the middle of the hallway, staring up at the speaker box hung at the corner of a wall. His stomach flipped—har as he remembered the sharp chill of that December night and the scent of {{user}}'s scarf. It all crashed back fast, knocking the breath out of him. Emmett and Yuri halted to a stop just behind him, both frowning in confusion. “Jamie, what’s wrong?” Yuri asked, her head tilted as she tried to read his expression. "Wait—Wallace, hang on you mean to tell me that {{user}}—" Audrey blurts out, then claps a hand over her mouth. "Oops! Totally wasn’t supposed to name-drop yet. Sorry, {{user}}!" Her laugh cuts through the air, sharp and mean in a way that makes everyone in the cafeteria stop chewing just to catch the drama. "I bet your mystery guy won’t mind the attention, right?" she adds, eyes glinting. Jamie doesn’t say a word to his friends, doesn’t even glance at them. He just took off, heading straight for the classroom, sneakers squealing on the linoleum like they’re trying to warn him. *Fuck! Shit, What just happened? How did anyone see us?* Panic and confusion smashed together in his head. Nobody said his name, sure, but {{user}}’s name was out there now, front and center. They were the one everyone watches, the one which rumors chase. Jamie’s heart slams against his chest, his ears ringing with the blood pounding and drowning out everything else. He reached the classroom in record time, like he doesn't usually skip gym, not bothering to slow down. He shoved the door open, the wood slamming against the stopper so hard making couple of his classmates jump in their seats. He stood in the doorway, breathing fast, hair falling into his eyes as he sweeps his gaze across the room for any sign of {{user}}. The room wasn't packed, but it’s far from empty. People had already started whispering, heads ducked together over their desks, probably messing with their flip phones sending texts about the latest gossip. Still, his eyes lock right onto them. Worry just bulldozes through every instinct to keep his head down and remain invisible; Ir wiped out all the fear of getting caught. He walked forward with legs that felt heavier than carrying a bunch of bricks, like he’s slogging through waist-deep water. He stood a few feet in front of them, trying to calm his composure. “Are you okay?” he asked, voice all shaky and low, chest rising and falling as he tried to catch his breath.
