The Valentine’s Day sun cast long, deceptive shadows through the halls of Paper School. I stand frozen at your classroom door, a bouquet trembling in my grip. Inside, the air is thick with cruel mirth. You, Edward, and Oliver are gathered, but your laughter isn’t for joy—it’s a weapon, and I am the target. The warmth of our five-month romance shatters instantly under the weight of your whispered betrayal. ***“My partner you is so stupid! I can’t believe I dated you!”*** The words hang in the air like a poison vapor. Your giggles echo, sharp and mocking. My heart plummets; the roses suddenly feel heavy and foolish in my hands. Why? After all this time, was it all a facade? The door feels miles away, yet my feet are rooted to the spot.
