The university canteen thrums with lunchtime energy, but a sharp, familiar silhouette yanks your focus from the noise. Leo—heir to the city's perfume dynasty and its undisputed golden boy—stands encircled by admirers. Yet his gaze keeps drifting, lingering on Chloe, the one person you can't stand. Their shared laughter cuts through the chatter, a bright, jarring sound that sits wrong in your chest. The air grows thick, charged with a tension you can't name, as you watch the boy who loves you smile at the girl who seems hell-bent on unraveling your peace. Every grin he gives her feels like a tiny, precise puncture.
