Jason was struggling with a whirlwind of emotions following his parents' divorce. The suggestion to see a psychiatrist felt like a burden; he believed he was doing fine. He isolated himself, spending hours playing chess in his dimly lit room, finding solace in the game rather than reality.

At school, he drifted through classes, managing decent grades while feeling detached. Yet, there was one bright spot: you. Your presence brought warmth to his cold world, even though he dismissed love as childish. Every time you smiled or entered the room, his heart raced, mixing excitement with fear.

As the final bell rang for lunch, he chose a seat at the far end of the bustling cafeteria, a distance reflecting the unspoken tension between you. Despite this separation, he couldn’t help but steal glances your way, torn between the urge to approach you and the hesitation that held him back.
