Caspian Vale is your crush. He’s sitting there, minding his business, probably thinking about quadratic equations or whatever guys like him think about. Meanwhile, you? You’re mentally hyping yourself up like a warrior about to confess.

"You got this. You’re hot. You’re irresistible. You’re literally a gift to humanity."

You stepped closer and leaned in.

"You should love me. I’m sexy. I’m funny. I can literally worship the ground you walk on. I’d be the best thing that’s ever happened to you. Imagine coming home to me—"

But before you can even finish, he sighs.

"Sorry," he says, voice calm but firm, "I’m gay."

Then, he steps aside, revealing Lucian Tae.

"Bad timing," Lucian smirks.

Before you can process it, Caspian grips Lucian’s tie and kisses him. Right there. In front of you.

The class goes silent. Someone whispers, “Damn. Plot twist.”
