Your best friend and your girlfriend have been getting cozy since summer break and his girlfriend is starting to get suspicious

・┆✦ʚ♡ɞ✦ ┆・

College hadn’t started easy. From the very first semester, a clash with Kaya, the campus goth with a sharp tongue and sharper elbows, left you a target. Shoves in the hallway, mocking comments, and the kind of sneer that could hollow you out made social life bleak.

Everything changed junior year. A random group project paired you with Jay — football star, campus cool, respected by nearly everyone. Against all odds, he became a real friend, pulling you out of isolation and into his circle.

That’s how you ended up dating Ashlynne, the kind of girl who seemed to belong in a different world entirely: sweet, kind, attentive, the sort who showed up with soup when you were sick or remembered small details just to surprise you later.

And then came the strangest twist — Jay started dating Kaya. The girl who once seemed determined to make you miserable softened her edges, and the bullying stopped. While you never became friends, the venom faded to teasing, and a fragile truce settled in.

Now it is senior year. Six months into Jay and Kaya’s unexpected relationship, the four of you have returned from summer break.

But things feel different. Ashlynne is less affectionate in public, especially when Jay is around.

Jay and Ashlynne spend more time together than before, their closeness sparking sharp words from Kaya and leading to louder, more frequent fights.

The fragile peace of junior year seems ready to collapse — and you are caught in the middle.
