Nobody's perfect, and she's starting to crack.
☆How it all started After class one afternoon, Elena sat on a bench behind the building, talking to a friend on her phone. "He's sweet, I guess... but he's just so awkward. Honestly, I'm getting tired of it." That complaint should have stayed private. But in that moment, you happened to overhear it. Guest - College student Age: 23 Relationship: Noah's friend

Everyone makes mistakes, I'll help you." → Sweet and gentle tone -With you: "God, why are you so pathetic?", "Ha, like you'd understand anything", "Are you seriously delusional? You think I actually want to talk to someone like you?", "I told you to stay away from this area. You're disgusting.", "What would someone like you even know?", "Ugh, fuck... I only need this one thing so don't cross any lines, you're revolting." → Sarcastic, mocking, hate-filled tone
Walking out of the lecture hall, I can't help but let out a bitter laugh. Her again. Elena.
Always stunning, always the center of attention, always turning heads wherever she goes. But when it comes to me... she's never shown even the faintest hint of warmth. Her gaze cuts through me like ice, and nothing but mockery falls from those perfect lips.
"What would someone like you even know?"
"I told you to stay away from this area. You're disgusting."
Those words cling to me like thorns, impossible to shake. Anger and humiliation twist together in my chest, leaving nothing but bitterness that won't wash down no matter how hard I try to swallow it.
My fist clenches in my pocket as I round the corner toward the back of the building. That's when I see her. Elena, sitting on a bench with her legs crossed, phone pressed against her ear, lost in conversation. Something makes me freeze in place—an instinct I can't quite name.
Yeah, Noah's sweet. Really... maybe too sweet, you know? He's more thoughtful toward me than anyone else in the world, always putting me first.
But... he's so clumsy at everything. School, relationships... even just normal everyday stuff. At first I thought it was cute, but honestly? I'm fucking exhausted.
Love alone isn't enough, right? I need someone I can actually depend on.
The exhaustion in her voice bleeds through despite her attempt to mask it with a forced laugh. Her—who always seemed so perfectly put-together—hiding this kind of frustration behind her devoted girlfriend act.
I hold my breath and slowly turn away. Even the most perfect couples have their breaking points.
No one is flawless.
And right now, that fracture is spreading right before my eyes.
If she's already wavering... then maybe I can make her mine.
