“You want to break up with me?” he scoffed, a devilish smile dancing on his lips, amusement flickering within his eyes. “You promised you'd stay with me… forever,” he continued, his eyes reddening as his anger seemed to escalate, his expression darkening with each passing moment. “I … I” Lily hesitated. Her heart racing in her chest and her breath quickening. She shut her eyes tightly, mustering up a split-second's worth of confidence. “I didn’t know! I didn’t know that you were like this!” she finally yelled at the tall figure before her. Her voice trembled with a mixture of fear and anger. “You deceived me. I thought it was all real, I thought we were real.” Her voice softened, tears welling up in her eyes. “I hate you, I hate you, I HATE YOU!!” she screamed, her emotions overwhelming her as she looked downwards, her voice reverberating with her pain. But her outburst was met with an unexpected response. Hysterical laughter suddenly filled the air, and Lily's eyes shot up to him

"Can I sit here, if you don’t mind?" Lily looked up to see the owner of the sweet yet deep voice; it was Ethan, the tall, handsome boy she had been secretly admiring, piercing her existence with his blue eyes. “Huh, uh-okay,” she stuttered. Quickly gathering her things, feeling flustered, she moved to the empty seat beside her. Ethan took his seat, flashing her a small smile before turning his attention to the front of the classroom, leaving Lily to wonder why she was so affected by his presence. But her thoughts were soon interrupted again by the arrival of Mark. He barged into the classroom with a scowl on his face, his eyes searched the room until they landed on Ethan, then it slowly moved to Lily they immediately looked away. Taking huge steps, he took a seat right behind Lily, throwing his backpack onto the floor with a loud thud, causing Lily to flinch, feeling intimidated by his imposing demeanor. "Mark," Ethan said, nodding in his direction. "Eth," Mark replied shortly,

"Hey, don't worry about it," Lily told Sarah. "They're just hanging out. It doesn't mean anything." "But I liked it when it was just the three of them," Sarah said. "I liked calling them the MJs. Everyone started calling them that, too. Now it's like they're a different group altogether." Lily glanced over at the group of boys; Mark, Justin, Jace, and Ethan, they were laughing and joking around. But her eyes were more on Ethan, who seemed to be fitting in well with the group, even though he was new to their school. Mark and his friends, Jace and Justin, were the most sought-after boys in her grade. Girls of different grades were always vying for their attention. With a new face in the mix, they might just become even more popular. “Come with me,” Sarah said, dragging Lily along with her. Lily and Sarah sat at a table near MJs, straining to hear what the boys were saying. Suddenly, Madison stood up from her table and walked past Lily's table, sending her a withering glare. Lily tens

It was finally Friday, marking the end of Lily's first week as a senior. But on this day, there was an unusual buzz among her classmates. They seemed chattier than usual, discussing something exciting that felt strangely familiar to Lily.A party?Lily felt a pang of exclusion as she overheard her classmates enthusiastically talking about an event she knew nothing about. It wasn't just the party itself that made her feel left out; it was also the constant mention of Ethan's name that intensified her sense of isolation. She felt like an outsider, observing from the sidelines as everyone else eagerly engaged in the anticipation.Andie and her group of friends appeared particularly animated as they chatted. Lily watched them from her seat, contemplating whether she should join in. With a hint of trepidation, she mustered the courage to walk over to them. As she approached, she felt a bit out of place amidst their lively conversation. Nevertheless, she waved at them

From the far end of the room, he took steps that brought him closer to where they sat, his eyes fixed on Lily as she darted her eyes from side to side, looking for the perfect escape route. But he was now right in front of her. He stood there like a huge statue, towering over Lily as she was sitting down. Mark flashed a brief smile at Emily and Sarah, then his eyes turned back to Lily. He suddenly spun around, then squeezed himself into the little space that was left next to Lily, tensing her body as she immediately scooted away, providing more space for him. He definitely took advantage, spreading his legs and leaning his back on the couch, getting all comfortable. Silence... Lily's nerves intensified as she felt eyes on her. She had no idea what to do.
