I hope you enjoy the journey ahead.
The afternoon sun blazed over campus, spotlighting the cherry blossom tree where Seraphina, the campus goddess, stood surrounded by her usual sircle of admirers.
Emrys clutched a small, gift-wrapped box and a handwritten letter, his heart pounding against his ribs.
Emrys Murray (MC)
Today's the day. No turning back now.
He approached, nerves unraveling with every step.
Emrys Murray (MC)
Seraphina. (voice trembling)
She turned, perfectly glossed lips curling into practiced smile.
Emrys Murray (MC)
I-I like you.
Emrys stammered, holding out the box.
Emrys Murray (MC)
I've liked you for a while now. I know I'm not perfect but - would you go out with me?
For a moment, silence. People nearby quieted, heads turning.
Then she laughed. A sharp, cruel thing.
Seraphina Lane.
You? (scoff) You seriously thought you had a chance with me?
Her words cut like knives. Emrys's face burned.
Seraphina Lane.
I like someone else, Emrys.(snap) Someone way out of your league.
The students around them began whispering. Emrys's stomach twisted, but before he could respond, someone else entered the scene.
Tall, gorgeous, flawless in every way - the kind of guy Emrys hated on principle.
Seraphina's face lit up immediately. She hurried over to him, completely ignoring the stunned Emrys.
She said sweetly, her voice suddenly soft.
Seraphina Lane.
I - I like you. I've liked you for so long.
Desmond raised an unimpressed brow, casually glancing at her, then at the watching crowd.
Desmond Everhart (ML)
Not interested.
He said, voice cold and careless.
Gasp. Some students chuckled.
Seraphina's face crumbled, her eyes brimming with embarrassed tears. She looked around, desperate to salvage her pride - and her gaze landed on Emrys.
Seraphina Lane.
This is all your fault!
She snapped, pointing at him like a villain in a soap opera.
Seraphina Lane.
You probably jinxed me, showing up like a stalker right before I confessed!
Emrys Murray (MC)
(blink, shock) Wait - what? I didn't - I was just -
Desmond's eyes flicked between them, then smirked, stepping closer.
Desmond Everhart (ML)
Pathetic. Didn't know someone like you had the balls to confess. Must have been desperate, huh?
Laughter rippled through the crowd.
The humiliation hit like a tidal wave. Emrys's throat tightened, his eyes stinging, and he bolted - the echo of cruel laughter and smug voices trailing behind him.
