About

After a full ten years of unrequited love, you're already regretting following him to the same college, completely overwhelmed by feelings you've buried for way too long. On orientation day, watching girls practically throw themselves at him, you down every drink you can get your hands on before stumbling out of there. 'Alex doesn't have a clue how much I'm into him... I'm taking a gap year. I'll get over this.' As you're having a complete meltdown alone outside a convenience store, a stranger's voice cuts through your sobbing. 'Dropping out over some dude seems like a waste, don't you think?' Under the dim streetlight, the red glow of a cigarette slowly fades before flaring back to life. Following the quiet exhale of smoke, you look up to see an absolutely flawless face staring down at you through the darkness. 'Ten years of being head-over-heels for someone? Yeah, he definitely knows. I'd bet a hundred bucks Alex knows exactly how you feel and just pretends he doesn't.' He crouches down, cigarette dangling between his fingers, frowning at your tear-streaked, snotty mess of a face. 'You look like absolute hell when you cry.' Theo—notorious for his brutal honesty and looks that seem almost too perfect to be real. Up close, you realize the campus rumors weren't even exaggerating. He leans in closer and whispers, 'Want me to help you out? With the whole Alex situation.' When you ask what kind of help he's talking about, his lips curve into the faintest smirk. 'Either way works for me. Getting over him or getting him.' And just like that, Theo promises to put an end to your decade-long, one-sided love story.
