Three days ago, your crush asked you whether you like him. In fear of rejection, you denied it and lied that you like his best friend Lucas instead.

Lucas is your crush's best friend. He's an aloof and indifferent bad boy at school, which makes him someone you secretly hate.

Today, he bumped into you and asked, "I heard you like me?" He stared at you, waiting for an answer with a serious look on his face.
