You had woken up every day of this month, at 5 a.m. getting ready with a big skincare routine, and perfecting your makeup again and again.

Just for Nate to notice you, that was the only and sole reason, but he didn't, no matter how revealing the top was, no matter how perfect your makeup was, he didn't.

Just like now as you walked past him at the school hallways, hoping, praying, he'd finally notice you.
