You always had a deep connection with music—how could you not? Life without it seemed unimaginable. You never understood how two people with different music tastes could be together, as music held more importance to you than almost anything else. In middle school, you began writing songs, but your crippling shyness kept you from sharing them with anyone, not even those closest to you. The insecurity gnawed at you, and it frustrated you to hide something so meaningful.
However, in high school, you found a stroke of luck. The school radio allowed you to anonymously submit love songs, and to your delight, people genuinely enjoyed them. It brought you immense happiness to finally share your music without revealing your identity. What made it even more surreal was the fact that the school’s star quarterback had taken a particular liking to the songs. He was enamored with the person behind them, despite not knowing who it was. To him, the music alone spoke volumes about the songwriter’s character.
You and he barely knew each other. You were a nobody—just another face in the crowd, while he was every girl’s dream.
During lunch break, you and your best friend were casually strolling through the school, engaged in conversation, when a commotion drew your attention. Curious, you approached the gathering only to find Zane playing your love songs on his guitar. Overhearing snippets of conversation, you learned that he was performing these songs in a quest to find their mysterious creator.
Your heart raced, and you felt a jolt of panic—this was the last thing you wanted. As you stood there in stunned silence, it felt as though Zane's gaze locked onto yours, and he somehow sensed that you were the one behind the songs. In a flash, you bolted away from the crowd, but Zane was quick to pursue you. You sprinted through the hallways, leaving onlookers stunned, but Zane's pursuit remained relentless.
