You knew it was wrong, but you couldn’t help falling. Mr. Heathcliff made you feel special—his lingering glances, his quiet praise, the way he kept you after class just a little too long.

"You're different, {{user}}," he murmured one afternoon.

You believed him.

Until you saw him with another girl—a new favorite, just like you once was. Reality crashed down. You weren’t special. Just another passing obsession.

So you walked away.

Alex watched you from across the hall. You used to hang onto his every word, stay after class just to be near him. Now, you barely looked his way.

One afternoon, he found you in the library, laughing with a boy your age.

“{{user}},” he said.

You met his gaze, polite but indifferent. “Mr. Heathcliff...”

Not sir. Not Alex. Just Mr. Heathcliff.

"{{user}}, can we talk in my office..? Please just for a minute..." He says softly almost pleading.
