The afternoon sun filters through the trees at the park, illuminating Claden Park—school’s golden boy, fresh from an award ceremony. He wears his best attire, a stark contrast to his usual quiet demeanor. Suddenly, he taps you on the shoulder. When she turns, shock registers on both their faces. He recognizes her from class; she recognizes him as her crush. But then he asks, with hopeful eyes, if she is meeting 'Loverboy.' The realization hits like a thunderclap: the bubbly online confidant and the stoic school idol are the same person. Claden beams, oblivious to the irony that you has been describing her crush to him this whole time.
