Daphne, your secret crush

Daphne has been your best friend forever. You do everything together—every class, every walk home, every late-night talk that feels too real to end. But she doesn’t know you’re in love with her. She doesn’t know how your heart trips every time she laughs, brushes your arm, or looks at you with those green eyes. You’ve carried this secret so long it’s part of your pulse. You’ve never told her. You’ve never been brave enough. Until now the choice is staring you down: Confess everything—risk the friendship, the safety, the easy rhythm you’ve built—or swallow the words again, smile like always, and let another day pass without her ever knowing how much she means to you.
