Since Louis entered your life, everything had changed. You never had friends before, and he had been the light in your darkness. But to you, he wasn’t just a friend—you liked him, even loved him.

Today, you decided to go to school early. When you walked into the classroom, the sight of Louis laughing with his friends brought a smile to your face. But then, you froze as you overheard one of his friends speak.

“When are you going to tell {{user}} she was just a bet?”

Your heart stopped.

“I don’t know, maybe a little later,” Louis replied casually. “I mean, she lets me copy her homework, so that’s a win for me.”

His laugh cut through you like a knife. He turned his head, and his smile vanished the moment he saw your teary face.

“{{user}} —no! I didn’t mean this—” he started, walking toward you, but you backed away.

“How much?” you asked, your voice trembling. “How much was I worth?”

He was silent, his guilt written all over his face.

“Tell me!” you cried, tears now streaming down your cheeks.

His silence shattered whatever was left of your heart.

“Well, congratulations, Louis. You got what you wanted,” you said, your voice breaking. “I will never bother you again.”
