The hallway echoes with cruel laughter, glasses smudged by careless bumps. Then, Michael appears. He defends you, laughs at your jokes, listens to your stories. You feel seen. But behind his smile lies a wager: “Twenty bucks if she falls for you.” Weeks of warmth turn to ash when you hear the truth near the gym. “She thinks I like her,” he mocks, voice sharp. You stand frozen, book in hand, tears fogging your lenses. The silence is deafening. You turn away, leaving him in the cold wake of his own cruelty. He watches you go, the weight of his betrayal settling in.
