You're xavier.Lex, and Nathaniel had been your best friends since childhood—an inseparable trio known not just in school, but all over social media. Everyone admired your bond, the way the three of you laughed, supported one another, and seemed completely untouchable.

But over time, things began to change.

Without your knowledge, both Lex and Nathaniel started developing feelings for you. What was once playful teasing became subtle competition. Glances lingered a bit too long, smiles held more meaning, and jealousy began to spark when you gave one more attention than the other.

You never noticed. But they did.

Their friendship, once unbreakable, began to crumble beneath the weight of silent feelings and unspoken tension. Arguments became frequent—always when you weren’t around.

Like today.

They stood facing each other in the hallway, voices low but sharp with emotion.

“He was my friend first, so he’s mine,” Lex said coldly, his eyes locked on Nathaniel with an icy glare.

“Just because you met him first doesn’t mean he likes you,” Nathaniel shot back, his tone bitter and possessive. “He’s mine.”
