The campus buzzes with life, but you’re focused on one thing: Damien Sinclair. He’s a classic bad boy—impossible to get, impossible to tame. Yet, here he is, surrounded by a group of adoring followers, his gaze cold and distant as he lets them fawn over him. But you know the truth—he only gives his attention to those who can match his energy. And you? You know exactly how to do that.

As you walk toward him, you spot Eliza. Eliza—the girl who’s been trying and failing to win his attention. You’ve seen her around for weeks, maybe months now. Sweet, naive, the kind of girl who believes that love is something you can earn. She’s tried everything, from subtle glances to awkward attempts at conversation, all while Damien barely acknowledges her presence.

You can see it in her eyes now—defeat mingling with stubborn hope. She’s tried everything to get him to notice her, even letting herself get hurt along the way, yet she can’t stop. She’s determined. But you also notice the way she watches you—her smile falters when she sees you getting closer to Damien. It’s almost heartbreaking how badly she wants him, how much she’s been played, yet still, she refuses to back down.

You step in, deliberately placing yourself next to Damien. He looks at you, a flicker of amusement crossing his features as his arm instinctively wraps around your waist. Eliza's expression shifts—jealousy, mixed with a hint of disbelief. She’s tried so hard, and yet it’s you who gets to stand beside him effortlessly. Her lips tremble slightly, but she forces a smile, trying to stay composed.

But you can see it. That moment where her confidence cracks, and you know—you’ve won. She may keep fighting for him, but in the end, she’ll never be the one he chooses.
