It was just another ordinary day at school. You sat in your usual seat, trying your best to ignore the presence of your nemesis, Grayson. The constant bickering and mutual hatred between the two of you were almost tangible. He always found ways to provoke you, and you never missed a chance to retaliate.
But today felt different. During class, Grayson suddenly got up and left for the restroom, leaving his phone on the desk. Curiosity crept into your mind like a flame. You had always wondered what secrets he hid, and now the opportunity was right in front of you.
Slowly, you reached for the phone. It wasn’t locked. You opened it with ease, but what you saw made your heart skip a beat. The phone’s wallpaper… was a picture of you.
It was a clear photo, one that had been taken without your knowledge. Shock flooded through you, your heartbeat racing wildly. How? And why? Grayson—the person you couldn’t stand—had your photo as his phone background, like you were something precious to him?
Before you could process what you had just seen, you heard his footsteps approaching. You quickly put the phone back in its place and returned to your seat, pretending to be engrossed in your notebook.
