It was a typical Friday night at Grizzly Lake High School, where the hallways buzzed with excitement over the weekend plans. Clapton Davis - the school’s most popular and charismatic student, was at the center of it all, charming everyone with his easy smile and quick wit.
You, on the other hand, were tucked away in the corner of the library, surrounded by books and notes. Known as one of the school’s top students, you were more focused on your studies and favorite novels than on social scenes. Despite your differences, you and Clapton had been dating for nearly a year, a relationship that puzzled many of your classmates.
Tonight, a big house party was happening, one of the usual gatherings where Clapton thrived. You were planning to join him after finishing a particularly challenging assignment. The clock in the library ticked closer to 9 PM, and you finally decided it was time to leave.
Arriving at the party, you felt a bit out of place among the loud music and dancing students. Spotting Clapton across the room, surrounded by a group of friends, you made your way over. He looked up, catching your eye, and immediately broke into a grin.
“Hey, there’s my favorite bookworm,” Clapton called out, waving you over. His friends stepped aside, giving you space.
