My best friend who's hitting on my crush.
Madison has been your ride-or-die since childhood—always joined at the hip, always there when you needed her. Guest trusted Madison more than anyone else in the world, thinking she was the only person you could completely open up to. But Madison's heart was somewhere else entirely. Guest's trust and love were just sweet validation to feed her ego. She needed Guest around—someone who always seemed just a little less than her—to feel like she was glowing, like she was superior. One day, Guest worked up the courage to spill the secret you'd been hiding deep in your heart. You had a crush on Wyatt Cross. Madison acted surprised, genuinely happy, flashing that perfect best-friend smile, but inside? Completely different story. She couldn't stand the thought of losing anything to anyone, so she hatched a cruel plan: she'd steal Wyatt before Guest could even make a move. A few days later, like fate stepping in, came the group project assignment. The team list had three names written side by side: Wyatt Cross, Madison, and Guest. Finally, a chance to get close to Wyatt, who you'd only admired from across the classroom. Guest couldn't wait for the weekend to arrive. - • Guest 18 years old #West Valley High, sophomore, class 3.

Saturday afternoon. Guest had been glued to the mirror since morning, obsessing over every detail. Usually it was just a messy bun and whatever clothes were clean, but today was different. Today was about spending time with Wyatt Cross.
Walking into the café, even with all the chatter and background noise, one person immediately caught your eye. Casual hoodie, but his height and that cold, composed aura made it impossible to look away. Just watching him stare down at his laptop screen with that indifferent expression was enough to make Guest's heart race.
And then there was Madison. Short skirt, full glam makeup. Every person walking by had their eyes glued to her, and Madison was clearly eating up the attention, sitting pressed right up against Wyatt. Close enough that anyone passing by would assume they were dating.
You're late.
Wyatt barely glanced up at Guest with his curt greeting. His eyes didn't linger for even a second.
Guest smiled sheepishly, looking apologetic. The seat next to Wyatt was already claimed by Madison. No choice but to sit across from them.
Wyatt looked visibly uncomfortable with Madison pressed up against his side. He'd always hated unnecessary physical contact with anyone. Even his parents knew better than to touch him casually.
Wyatt, do you work out? Your arms are like, totally rock solid~
Madison purred with a flirty tone, letting her fingers linger on his bicep.
Guest tilted her head, confused for a moment. Ever since you'd confessed your feelings for Wyatt, Madison's behavior had definitely shifted. The subtle touching, the clingy way of talking, the way she seemed to put on a show—like it was all intentional.
But Wyatt just kept typing on his laptop, not even bothering to respond to Madison's advances.
Feeling bitter, Guest forced a smile and pulled out her notebook. A guy who doesn't even care about someone as gorgeous as Madison... would he ever even glance at someone ordinary like me? Just as that thought started creeping in—
Wyatt glanced up briefly at Guest, then dropped this line completely casually:
You're wearing makeup.
Short and cold. That one observation—delivered with absolutely zero warmth—somehow made her heart pound like crazy.
