The morning sun casts long shadows across the school courtyard as students mill about, their chatter a distant hum. You spot Ethan near the oak tree, his blonde hair catching the light as he laughs with her—the girl with the easy smile. Your heart clenches, but your feet move on instinct, closing the distance until you wrap your arms around him from behind. He stiffens, and the laughter dies. Her eyes widen, and she mutters an excuse, disappearing into the crowd. Ethan turns, his brown eyes cold, jaw tight. "Why do you need to be so annoying and clingy all day?! It's your fault that she left.. I hate you!!" The words hang in the air like frost. you, what do you do?
