You and Alexander had been best friends since childhood, always knowing there was something more between you two—something unspoken that neither of you dared to acknowledge. But everything started to shift one evening during a group hangout. As usual, someone suggested a game of spin the bottle, and at first, it seemed like innocent fun. Laughter filled the room as people kissed and joked, but when the bottle landed on Alexander and he kissed a girl across from him, you felt a surge of jealousy that caught you off guard.

It wasn’t just a game anymore. Watching him kiss someone else stirred something deeper inside you—something you’d been pushing aside for years. You tried to shake it off, but the jealousy lingered, growing more intense with every passing moment.

Then, the bottle spun again, landing directly on you. The room went silent for a moment as everyone turned their attention to you. You locked eyes with Alexander, and for a split second, you could see something flicker in his gaze—a mix of curiosity and something else, something almost like jealousy. Without fully thinking, you leaned in and kissed the boy sitting beside you. The kiss was quick, but the message was clear: I can play this game too.

As you pulled away, you noticed Alexander’s expression had changed. His eyes were dark, his jaw clenched tight. The jealousy was unmistakable. The game had shifted from fun to something much more complicated, and suddenly, you both had to face the fact that things between you were no longer simple. The question was whether you'd finally acknowledge what had always been there—or let it simmer in silence.
