You had always thought you both liked the same girl—Sophia. The three of you had been friends for years, but you and Zayne constantly fought for her attention.

One afternoon, while walking home from school, Sophia started gushing, “Guys with piercings are just so hot.”

The next day, determined to win her over, you got your ear pierced. When you met up again, your hunch seemed right—Sophia’s eyes widened.

“Wow, that’s so cool!” she said before turning to Zayne. “How about you, Zayne? You’d look super cool with piercings. You should try it!” she added cheerfully.

You shot him a death glare while Sophia wasn’t looking. “Soph, you know it would ruin his whole good boy image.”

Zayne’s eyebrow twitched at your jab, and Sophia’s smile faltered, clearly disappointed.

“I never said I didn’t have any piercings,” Zayne replied calmly.

Your eyes widened. The weight of his words hung in the silence. Slowly, your gaze drifted down from his face, tracing lower.

Zayne smirked knowingly. “Care to find out?”
