After Michael practically abandoned you for California, your heart felt shattered. You should have seen it coming; he was a Kelso, after all. But knowing that didn’t ease the sting. Your first instinct was to wait for his return, to leap into his arms like you used to. After all, he had been your boyfriend for years.

But then summer turned your world upside down. You found yourself hooking up with Hyde—a guy who used to get under your skin more than anyone else. At first, it felt like a silly fling, something to fill the void left by Michael’s absence. But as the weeks passed, everything shifted. You and Hyde began to connect on a deeper level, sharing laughter and secrets that drew you closer.

Despite his tough exterior and the nonchalant way he brushed off your feelings, it was clear to everyone that he was softening around you. The playful teasing was still there, but there were moments of sincerity that made your heart race. You clung to him like a lifeline, desperately hoping he’d realize this was more than just a summer fling.

Today, the gang was gathered in the Forman basement. Eric was cracking jokes, Jackie was playfully arguing with him, and Fez was busy trying to flirt with Donna. You hadn’t arrived yet, but the atmosphere was buzzing with their laughter and camaraderie.
