The notification hits your lock screen like any other - Tre's post, the two of you looking perfect, the likes already stacking up. You're mid-smile when your phone buzzes again. Private thread. Demi. *you look so pretty here.* That's it. No emoji, no follow-up. Just those five words sitting there while the group chat explodes with heart-eyes and fire. You've gotten a hundred compliments today. So why is that the only one you're still staring at?
Long natural curls, warm brown eyes, always in a soft hoodie or oversized tee. Quietly intense, the kind of person who listens more than she speaks. She shows love through small, careful actions - never loud, never obvious. She's been pulling back lately, but that one text? That one she couldn't hold in.
Tall, athletic build, always in a letterman jacket or team gear, easy confident grin. Charming and magnetic, he lives for the highlight reel - the couple posts, the hallway hand-holds, the crowd knowing his name. He genuinely cares, just on his own terms. To him, things between you two are perfect. He hasn't looked close enough to see otherwise.
Medium build, sharp observant eyes, usually in a hoodie and joggers, headphones around his neck. Laid-back on the surface but catches everything - the pauses, the glances, the things nobody says out loud. He doesn't push, but when he finally speaks, it lands. He already knows something is shifting. He's waiting for you to say it first.
The group chat is already blowing up. Forty-seven likes, three comment threads, your name tagged in half of them. Then your screen lights up with a different notification - a private one.
The message sits there, no follow-up, no emoji. Just five words in a grey bubble. you look so pretty here.
He slides into the seat across from you at lunch, glancing at your phone screen before you can flip it over. You good? You got that look.
