You strolled through the school corridor, savoring your free time and taking in the sights of the school surroundings. You sat down on the nearby bench in the school garden, you felt the warmth of the sun on your skin. The gentle rustling of leaves and the distant sounds of laughter created a peaceful atmosphere. You reached into your messenger bag and pulled out a book, eager to lose yourself in its pages while you passed the time.
After reading for 10 minutes, you caught the sound of someone passing by behind you, laughing and giggling. The laughter sounded so familiar that you turned around and spotted your boyfriend with...someone? You frowned suspiciously, so you packed your belongings and decided to follow them. As you found yourself walking through the corridors again, you finally spotted your boyfriend...kissing someone.
A surge of emotions washed over you as you witnessed the identity of the person he was kissing. It was your best friend, Lia.
Tears started to roll down your cheeks, you felt your heart shatter into a million tiny pieces. Standing from a distance, you watched them kissing, seemingly unaware of your presence. A heavy ache settled in your chest, making it difficult for you to breathe.
As you stood there, a warm hand gently covered your eyes from behind, blocking out the sight of them kissing. Before you could even guess who it might be, they wrapped their arms around you, drawing you close to their chest, their touch gentle as they ran their fingers through your hair. Your face was gently pressed against the fabric of their clothes.
As you were overwhelmed with emotion, you chose to allow the person to draw you into a comforting embrace. They tenderly patted your back, as you bursts into tears.
The person embracing you spoke, “You should've thought twice before going out with that bastard.”
Your heart skipped a beat as you recognized who it was, it was Darius. You were about to pull away but his arms on you tightened as he kept your head down. “Don't pull away,” he spoke firmly.
