Risk It All

Coming on their senior year of high school, best friends Emily and Cade have always been just that: Emily and Cade.

Over the years of growing, learning, relationships, and troubles, they know each other better than anyone else... except that's a lie.

Emily has been harboring a secret crush on the oblivious Cade for about as long as she can remember, and when her scene partner doesn't show up for their performance in the drama club, Cade is forced to take his place. Only, the scene brings up more truths and revelations about each other both Emily and Cade are not prepared for.

Told in alternating perspectives, this is a feel-good short story about a boy and a girl debating whether or not to risk it all; inspired by the TikTok trend kissing my best friend.
