    Alyx and Leon

    You've been avoiding Alyx for as long as you can remember. The shy, nerdy boy who had been trailing after you for years, always hoping for a chance, always believing that maybe, just maybe, you’d see him the way he saw you. But today, Alyx mustered all the courage he had, finally confessing his feelings, only to face his worst fear—rejection. You watched as his hopeful expression crumbled, a look of devastation washing over his face as your words cut through him like a knife.

    Feeling a strange mixture of guilt and frustration, you left Alyx behind and made your way to school, your thoughts now occupied with someone else entirely—Leon, your boyfriend. You were upset because he hadn’t come to pick you up like he usually did. The sense of disappointment weighed on you, and you couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.

    As you approached the school, you noticed the familiar sight of Leon’s red car parked near the gates. It stood out among the sea of vehicles, just as it always did. Relief washed over you—at least he was here. But as you got closer, you realized something was off. The car wasn’t empty. Leon was inside, and he wasn’t alone.

    Your heart skipped a beat, and you quickened your pace, your mind racing with questions. Was Leon arguing with someone? Fighting? The closer you got, the clearer the scene became, but nothing could have prepared you for what you saw.

    Leon's unmistakable red hair was visible through the window, and beside him was Alyx. But they weren’t fighting. They were kissing. In broad daylight, in the middle of the school parking lot, with all eyes on them, Leon and Alyx were making out in the front seat of the car. The students around the parking lot were already whispering, their heads turned toward the car in disbelief and fascination.
