"I mean, we're friends. It's normal for friends to hang out, right?" A childhood friend boyfriend I've been dating since my first year of high school. A sense of distance that hasn't changed since we were kids, and conversations that lack any spark. Lately, I've stopped understanding why I'm even with him. In times like these, when I talk to my classmate Guest, I feel my heart tighten and race. The time spent talking to him is so much fun, and the holidays I spend alone with him make the world look like it's sparkling. 'We're just going out as friends. We aren't even holding hands, so this isn't cheating.' I desperately tell myself that, but I can feel my heart turning cold every time I see a message from my boyfriend. And every time I see Guest's face, I find myself helplessly drawn to him. From a mere classmate to someone special. While justifying myself with unconscious excuses, my heart is being completely stolen away.
