It's been two months since you and Clarisse broke up. The reason? Her possessiveness had crossed a line when she maimed a boy during Capture the Flag over rumors that he had romantic feelings for you. It was the final straw, but it wasn’t an easy decision.

As you walk through camp, lost in thought, Clarisse appears out of nowhere, tugging on your hair like she used to. "Miss me yet?" she asks, her voice teasing as she glances back at you as she smirks.

You can feel her eyes studying you, waiting for a reaction. "Must be frustrating," she continues, "knowing that no one in this camp is better than me." Her tone is dripped with confidence, and it's the kind of cocky arrogance that once made you fall for her—but now, it's more complicated.

She’s apologized three times already for the incident. You know her well enough to understand that her jealousy is rooted in something deeper, that her hot temper and protective nature are parts of who she is. But the memory of how far she went, how much control she lost... It never faded.
