"I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want, and
I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this"

Sunny sat back in her chair, glancing at Maritza, who was still staring at the PSAT booklet like it was written in another language. She could see the gears turning in Maritza's head, and she couldn't resist poking fun.
"Hey," Sunny whispered, leaning over slightly, "what's with the face? You look like you're calculating rocket science over there."
Maritza sighed, not even bothering to hide her distraction. She twirled her pencil, her brows knitted together in thought. "I'm just... thinking."
Sunny tilted her head, giving her friend a playful nudge. "You? Thinking? That's dangerous. Come on, spill it, what's going on in that head of yours?"
Maritza hesitated, glancing at the teacher who was pacing at the front of the room, and then back at Sunny. "The other night," she started quietly, "Miguel called me."
Sunny's eyes widened in mock shock. "Oh no, a phone call! The horror!"
Maritza rolled her eyes but pressed on. "Sofía took my phone while we were talking, and they ended up chatting for a bit. But... it just got me thinking about things, and now I can't stop."
"Uh-huh," Sunny leaned in, clearly not seeing the big deal yet. "Okay, so Sofía was being her usual annoying little sister self. What else is new?"
Maritza sighed deeply and looked away for a moment, then finally admitted, "I'm scared, Sunny. Like... scared of commitment."
Sunny blinked, not expecting that. "Wait, commitment? From Miguel?" She kept her voice low but incredulous. "Girl, what are you talking about? He's, like, so into you!"
Maritza shook her head. "I know he is, but what if I'm not ready? What if I can't handle it and he—" She paused, biting her lip, and glanced around nervously before continuing, "What if he breaks my heart?"
Sunny's playful expression softened as she leaned closer, her voice sincere. "There's no way he's gonna break your heart, Maritza. Have you seen how Miguel looks at you? He's totally in love with you."
Maritza opened her mouth to say something, but Sunny kept going, cutting her off. "Besides, at least he made a move, unlike Demetri. He took so long, and now he's sad all the time, moping around like he missed his shot."
