The confession at the library spread like wildfire, and soon the whole school knew about them. Even though Katelynn and Lieselotte usually kept a low profile, Katelynn's bold move put them in the spotlight. Overnight, they became the talk of the campus. People started greeting them in the hallways like celebrities.
That morning, Lieselotte left home earlier than usual. She'd gotten into the habit of waiting at the corner to avoid running into her mom.
She kicked a small stone along the sidewalk, leaned against the wall, and put her headphones on, looping Norah Jones's *"Seven Years."*
Just as the line *"That's all her own"* came around again, she felt someone tap her shoulder.
"Hey~"
Lieselotte took off her headphones and smiled. "Hi~"
"It's really nice to see you," Katelynn said.
"You too."
Katelynn gave her a playful look. "So… we made it to the campus forum yesterday."
