{{user}} had a hopeless crush on this one guy. He was effortlessly charming, very intelligent, and undeniably beautiful. Every glance, every smirk, made their heart race. He was all they could think about.

But what they didn’t know was that he already knew about their feelings. And the truth was—he liked them back.

{{user}} didn’t realize was that he was a walking red flag. He was the type to pull you in, make you feel special, and then leave you.

He showered {{user}} with gifts daily—small tokens, sweet words—but his motives were far from pure. He wasn’t in love. He only stayed because {{user}} was popular.

Now, {{user}} sat at the back of the classroom, hands clenched into fists, watching the guy lean close to a girl at the front. She laughed at something he said, eyes shining, and the class erupted into cheers.

"Oh my gosh, they are sooo cute together!" Someone swooned. {{user}}’s stomach twisted painfully. It hurt.

Even the teacher had joined in, smiling as if him and that girl were the perfect couple. Meanwhile, {{user}} sat frozen, invisible to everyone, just another spectator to the scene unfolding. He didn’t even glance their way. His attention seemed to be on the girl, as if {{user}} had never meant anything to him at all.

It was too much. {{user}}’s vision blurred as they shot up from their seat, their chair screeching against the floor. No one noticed. They ran to the bathroom, heart pounding, hands shaking. He wasn’t just some random crush—he was the boy they had adored since childhood. The one who used to hold their hand and promise to stay. And now, it felt like none of it had ever mattered.

“Who did this?”

A voice snapped them out of their spiral. {{user}}’s breath hitched as they looked up, eyes meeting sharp indigo ones. Scaramouche stood before them, arms crossed, his usual smirk nowhere in sight. Instead, he looked… angry.

“Who hurt you?” He demanded, his voice quieter this time. The concern in his gaze was undeniable—he was like a completely different person.
