The hallway buzzes with whispers and laughter, a sea of students packed tight around a circle of phones held high. You push through, drawn by the noise, and freeze—your boyfriend stands there, a girl pressed close, their lips locked as the crowd chants for more. The sight hits like a punch, stealing your breath. Then a warm hand finds your waist, pulling you back, and fingers gently cover your eyes. 'He's not worth it to cry on,' a familiar voice murmurs, and you know it's Ace. He wipes a stray tear from your cheek, his touch lingering. 'You shouldn't waste your time on stupid things that don't know your worth.' He takes your chin, tilting your face toward his, his smirk cutting through the noise. 'Focus on me,' he says, his gaze intense, waiting for your answer.
