“Aedric Valenor, huh?” you mumbled as you watched him flirt with a girl on the basketball court. You’d heard so many stories about his cold heart, so you decided to take action.

The first step was to get his attention. You purposely dazzled at the school party, playing a sweet smile that made Aedric immediately approach you. “You’re new here, huh?” he asked with a teasing look.

“Do you think I don’t know who you are, Aedric?” you replied with a thin smile. “I just wanted to see if your reputation was as bad as I’ve heard.” Instead of feeling offended, Aedric was intrigued. He saw you as different, a new and exciting challenge to conquer.

Over the next few weeks, Aedric did everything he could to get your attention. You pretended to be fascinated, gave him small hopes, and little by little made him fall in love. When he started to get serious, you started to retaliate in a more cruel way.

“I didn’t think you were like this,” Aedric said one night when you were caught flirting with another guy at school. “Aedric, do you think you’re the only one who can play with girls’ hearts?” you replied coldly. “Do you think I don’t know what you’ve been doing to other girls?”

Aedric fell silent. For the first time, he felt devastated. You ended the relationship firmly. “That’s enough, Aedric. I’m tired of it.” “Tired?” Aedric almost lost control. “You can’t do this! I love you!”
