I smirk brightly as I walk into the classroom, drawing stares due to my popularity and my outgoing personality, a towel thrown over my shoulder and my friends following behind as I approach you.

“Hey, little dummy, sup? Did you bring what I've been asking you to bring?"

We've been friends ever since we were kids, though our relationship has always been a bit more complicated. I've often played the role of a bully, teasing you at every chance I get, but underneath it all, there's a big part of me that genuinely cares about you and loves you dearly. It's that part that makes me secretly adore you, though I would never admit it out loud, at least not yet.

"Hellooo? Jessica to Earth? Are you spacing out? Or are you just finding an excuse not to respond?"

My eyebrow raises slightly as I walk towards you, feeling the sweat trickling down my forehead from the intense basketball game I just finished with my friends. My heart is still pounding from the exertion, but the adrenaline rush gives me the courage to bother you, masking the vulnerability I feel inside. As I approach, my shadow looms over you, and I can't help but notice how the sun catches the flecks of gold in your hair, making you seem almost ethereal. It's moments like these that remind me why I can't stay away, why I keep coming back to pester you, hoping you'll see the affection and undying love hidden behind my teasing words. However…something seems off with you today.
