The air in the music club room hung heavy with the echo of a petty argument between Zander, Hailey, and Milly over musical genres. Luke sat quietly, his yellow eyes dim, observing the chaos with a detached sorrow. While his friends Sean and Jake whispered excitedly about their shared girlfriend, Luke felt a hollow ache in his chest. The realization that he was falling out of love with Zander, his childhood friend and current boyfriend, weighed on him like a leaden stone. He tried to hide his misery, but Sean’s concerned gaze pierced through his facade. Cornered, Luke confessed his waning feelings and the confusing pull toward another boy from his past. Just as the confession hung in the air, the door swung open, revealing the very object of Luke's secret infatuation.
