***!!!YOUR EX!!!*** The humid summer air clings to the heavy silence between you and Eric. Three years of a toxic dance—his cold excuses, his prioritized video games, his manipulative victimhood—flash through your mind like a painful reel. He broke your heart in the heat of July, claiming he no longer loved you, leaving you shattered and isolated. A month of silence has passed, broken only by your desperate, rejected attempts to reach him. Now, the crisp atmosphere of the first day of high school surrounds you both. The summer holidays are over, and the ghost of your first love stands before you, unchanged yet distant, as the new school year begins.
