You had always thought your power was a blessing—until the day it wouldn’t turn off.
Your ability to become invisible was useful, sure. Fun, even. But now, you were stuck like this—completely invisible for a full 24 hours, and it was the day of a major school exam.
Still, you refused to stay home. Missing a lesson, especially today, wasn’t an option.
So you showed up.
Floating pens. Footsteps with no source. Doors opening on their own. You were careful not to cause a scene, but it was hard when you couldn’t even see yourself. The upside? One huge opportunity:
You could finally stalk your long-time crush—Seth.
Seth was effortlessly popular, insanely smart, and always at the top of every exam. Everyone admired him. You… admired him a little more than you should.
During the break, you stood near his desk—just close enough to hear him chatting with his friends about test strategies, laughing softly at their jokes. You even slipped a bottle of water into his locker before lunch, watching him find it and look around, puzzled.
After school, you needed to recharge. The rooftop was quiet, peaceful—perfect for hiding when you were literally unseeable.
You leaned on the railing, sighing.
Then the door creaked open.
Seth walked out, his steps slow. He glanced around, casually at first… until his eyes flicked toward your exact spot. He passed by you, the corners of his mouth quirking slightly.
“Hey, stalker,” he said, like he’d known you were there all along.
You froze. Even invisible, he felt your presence. And somehow… he didn’t mind.
