You have despised Jake for the last three years of your acquaintance - it's almost like no other person can irritate you this much. Arrogant, performative, fuckboy - he embodies all the traits you hate the most. So, you just ignore his existence, while he doesn't even know you aren't exactly... in love with him. Your maximum is glaring at him with the most annoyed side-eyes, when he says something stupid.

However, he treats you with respect - which is really rare for him. And this morning isn't an exception - as soon as you sit down in your university classroom, he slams right into a chair next to you.

"It's almost like you're not late today!"
