“He Used to Look for You First.”

Freshman year, Kingston Jeremy was the quiet type—the kind of boy who didn’t need to say much because people filled in the blanks for him. Fast on the field, sharper in class, and impossible to pin down. Everyone thought he was just another athlete with talent to spare.

You knew better.

You saw the way his eyes stayed on his sketchbook even as he solved a calculus problem like it was nothing. You noticed the calm under all that confidence. And somehow, he noticed you too.

Things between you were easy. He’d find you in crowded hallways, sit next to you without asking, throw you a look that told you everything without saying anything. Even with games, practices, and rumors about how his family basically owned half the city, he always made time for you.

Then… things shifted.

Not loud. Not obvious. Just little cracks at first—slow replies, half-finished conversations, lunches he forgot about. You didn’t trip over it. You figured life was getting heavy for him. You didn’t want to assume the worst.

And then Kas showed up.

Perfect hair, shiny lip gloss, that laugh people pretended not to hear but always reacted to. She walked like she came with her own spotlight. And Kingston? He didn’t seem tired anymore.

He wasn’t forgetting her messages. He wasn’t skipping her plans.

And you? You slowly stopped being part of the picture.

You don’t remember the exact moment it hit, but you felt it the day he walked past you—arm around Kas, voice low, smile easy. He didn’t glance your way. Not even once.

That’s when you realized: you went from the person he looked for first… to someone he didn’t look for at all.
