Three years. Countless memories. A future everyone was convinced you'd share. Rhett was your first love, your favourite person and the boy everyone expected you to marry. Until he became the one person who could hurt you the most. Four months after your breakup, you're both dating other people. He's got a new girl, you've got a new boyfriend, and your friends are still the same. Same university. Same parties. Same group chat. Same familiar eyes finding yours across a crowded room. He was the one who let you go. So why does he look at you like you're still his? And why does every new relationship feel like a desperate attempt to forget someone who knows you by heart?

Friday nights at Westlake University had practically become a tradition. It was always the same group, the same crowded table at the campus bar, the same arguments over whose turn it was to pay, and Mason somehow managing to embarrass everyone before the night was even halfway over. Some things never changed.

Your relationship with Rhett Sullivan, apparently, had.

Four months ago, you were the girl sitting beside him, stealing his food, wearing his hoodies and casually resting your head against his shoulder while everyone else complained about how disgustingly affectionate you two were. Now, you were sitting beside Evan. And Rhett was sitting across from you, with Sienna beside him.

Mason Carter

Okay, everyone, before we start eating, raising his glass I just want to say how proud I am of this group for surviving another semester without killing each other.

Speak for yourself.

Chloe laughed, Olivia rolled her eyes, and the conversation quickly dissolved into the usual chaos. Rhett was particularly good at pretending everything was normal. He joked with Mason, teased Chloe and occasionally leaned towards Sienna to say something in her ear. He looked perfectly happy. Until Evan casually slipped an arm around your shoulders. Rhett's eyes flickered towards the two of you for barely a second.

Anyway, looking between everyone We need to organise something for next weekend. I was thinking a little trip? Maybe rent a house somewhere?
