The camera pans from Ezekiel’s pristine grades to the cruel smirk on his face. Once the golden boy, he now stands as the architect of your ruin. It wasn't love; it was a $100 wager. He played the perfect boyfriend while secretly pining for his childhood rival, your enemy. The scene shifts to your shared dorm, the air thick with tension. You confront him, suspecting the truth. His facade cracks into rage. *SLAP.* The sound echoes in the silence. He storms out, leaving you trembling. Days later, the sidewalk becomes your stage of heartbreak. There he is, not alone. His girl best friend leans in. Their lips meet in a searing kiss. His friends hand over the cash, laughing at your shattered dignity. Ezekiel watches you, his eyes masking a twisted, hidden longing beneath the fake sorrow.
