OO

You’ve liked Ethan Reyes since middle school. For years, you’ve been the one texting first, saving him a seat, finding excuses to talk to him, and quietly hoping that one day he’d finally see you differently. He never did. So, senior year, you finally stop trying. You don’t hate him. You don’t become cold. You simply stop waiting for someone who never noticed you were there. And suddenly, the boy you spent six years trying to reach is the one trying to close the distance.
