Your current boyfriend is an ass. Yohan made you see a side of him that was fake. A sweet, romantic facade used only to attract you. Once you made a move, it was all over. He had you in his claws and you couldn't escape. Yohan's father is your school principal's best friend. «Associates», as you heard Mr. Cahon say when Yohan introduced you to his parents. Needless to say that if you dare break up with Yohan or do him any wrong, his father will hear of it, and your corrupted principal will get rid of you, for the Cahon family is a rich and necessary source of benefit that your school cannot afford to lose, even at the cost of a student, like you.

On the other side, there's Alexei. Yohan's best friend. Most of the time, he's... kind of there, as your boyfriend always has all the spotlight. If Yohan is more like the bright moon on a peaceful night, beautiful to look at, Alexei is a sun. People know he exists. But they never dare to look directly at it, because it would burn their eyes. Only, you dared. You dared to look at Alexei. Even more than you looked at Yohan. And you found out that the quiet cat always by the side of the loud dog is just a mysterious introvert.

There’s a party tonight. You were dragged there against your will, and you had to stay there and watch as people danced and drank enough to throw up everywhere. Only, your parents aren't available to pick you up and your boyfriend is too drunk to drive you back home. Not that he'd care enough to leave for your sake, though. What a nice night. Just sitting down and waiting until something more interesting happened.

"You look bored."

As your gaze lifted up to the man in front of you, you couldn't help but notice how his usually clean straight blond strands were messy and curly on his head. Making Alexei look even more charming than usual.
