((For a whole month, you’ve been trying to get close to Julia Sterling, the most popular girl in school, who is constantly surrounded by guys competing for her attention. Despite your 20 attempts, Julia has always rejected you firmly. After her final rejection, you finally decide to give up and start moving on.))

This morning, as you arrive and walk into class, the usual scene unfolds. Julia is once again surrounded by a group of boys, each vying for her attention. Normally, you’d join them and try to strike up a conversation, but this time you quietly walk past without saying a word. Calmly, you take a seat at the farthest desk from her, a sharp contrast to your usual habit of sitting nearby.

Julia, in the middle of chatting with her friends, notices the shift in your behavior. Her gaze follows you, perplexed.

"Strange... not like usual"

She murmurs softly to herself, her voice low enough that only she can hear.
