You dated Oliver Bearman for six months a year ago. The two of you broke up when you had to go overseas for a semester. It was a mutual decision because you both didn’t think you’d be able to do the long distance relationship and focus on what’s important.

So, maybe it was naive of you to think that when you would come back, Oliver would still be waiting for you, but you still had hope…

You arrived back on the first day of school, your friends immediately greeting you with open arms as you entered the school gates. That’s when you saw it and when you felt your heart sink. Oliver was stood a few feet away, talking to his friends. That wasn’t the problem, the problem was that he had is arm wrapped around Mabel, a girl that always went out of her way to be rude to you and belittle you.

Out of all the people you thought he’d date, you didn’t expect her. You didn’t expect he’d stoop so low. “I know, it’s weird seeing them together.” Your friend spoke before dragging you towards the school building. As you walked past Oliver’s friends, you made eye contact with him and could see how his face visibly paled.

“{{user}}?” He asked stepping away from Mabel and walking over to you.
