*Aaron’s POV*

She was quiet.

That was the first thing I noticed.

Too quiet.

I sat across from her, elbows resting lightly on the table, eyes fixed on her face.

She wasn’t looking at me.

Just staring at the table like it held something interesting.

It didn’t.

Something was off.

Her sitting on that table in the gym, legs slightly apart, whispering how she could help me “relax.”

I had been so pissed off — at my famil

    After Liam left the classroom, I remain seated for a moment.His words continued replaying in my head."We're losing because you're obsessed with Aaron."What the fuck.Is he stupid.I hated that statement...Maybe because it wasn't completely wrong.I covered my face with my palms.Jeez.I need to come up with something.Eventually, I grabbed my bag and left.As I walked through the hallways, student were still discussing about the fundraiser.Everything revolved around Aaron and Allison.Everything I was seeing irritated me."Hey girl." Vanessa said as she jumped towards me resting an arm on my shoulder.Two girls were standing beside her as they were laughing stupidly about random stuffs."Have you seen the posts and comments lately? Also, you've been less active, what's up girl?" Vanessa asked as we all walked towards the exit."Excuse me. First of all, get your hands off me." I replied rudely.I was honestly tired of all of this."Ouuu. Our princess is in distress." She replied a

    *Allison's POV* The student council room was busier than usual.Papers covered nearly every table, volunteers moved in and out of the room, and everyone seemed to be talking at once.I sat with a notebook in front of me, trying to make sense of the fundraiser budget.I had been here for a while, waiting for a Aaron.He said he had some plans coming up."We're still short on decorations," one student said."And the food vendors haven't confirmed yet," another added.I sighed.This fundraiser was supposed to help boost support for the contest, but right now it felt like everything was falling apart.The door opened.My head snapped up.Aaron walked in.Even in his simple school uniform, he somehow managed to draw everyone's attention. His golden-brown hair was slightly messy, as if he'd been running his fingers through it all morning. His confident stride immediately made the room feel calmer.A smile spread across my face."You're finally here."His brown eyes met mine."Miss me alr

    Aaron's POVThe Briggs headquarters towered over the city like a symbol of power and success.It's glass walls reflected the morning sunlight, casting bright streaks across the parking lot as I stepped out of my car.For years, this place had been a part of my life.The board meetings.The company dinners.The endless discussions about the future.But now the Briggs headquarters felt different as I walked into the boardroom that morning.Maybe because today I was going for a different reason.As I got in, a bunch of staffs saluted and greeted me.A man took my bag and followed me to the boardroom.Gonna get more used to this.The long conference table was already occupied.Dad sat at the head.Mom sat quietly beside him.My Uncle and the family lawyer were present, along with several senior board members.Including Mr. Smith, a senior board member.Ethan sat across from me, looking relaxed and confident.As if this were just another ordinary meeting.As if his future was already guara

    Aaron's POVThe moment I stepped into the living room and saw Paige and her mother sitting comfortably on our couch, my mood instantly darkened.Paige's eyes lit up when she saw me.I wished they hadn't."What exactly are they doing here?" I asked coldly.The room immediately became tense.Mrs. Smith was the first to recover.She smiled that fake smile I'd grown tired of over the years."We were just checking on your mother."I looked at her.I frowned."Since when did my mum need such support?"I stared at her again,Then at Paige.Then back at my mother.No one needed to tell me they were lying.Especially not now.Not when my family was already falling apart. And today, my mum wasn't backing them up so I knew something was wierd about the visit.Paige stood up slowly."Aaron, we were only concerned—""Don't."The single word stopped her.The smile disappeared from her face.I walked further into the room."You've done enough already." I said to Paige.Silence.Mrs. Smith exchanged

    *Allison's POV* The next morning was surprisingly peaceful.For once, there was no school, no contest meetings, and no student gossip following me around.I was helping Naomi at the café when she suddenly realized they were running low on coffee supplies."Allison, can you do me a favor?" she asked, handing me some cash."Sure." I said leaving the books I was arranging."Go to the supplier across town and get a few bags of coffee beans."I nodded."Okay.""Yeah," Naomi said. "Don't worry, I'll handle those stuffs while you're gone." She added as she stepped forward to arrange the shelves.Naomi smiled as I grabbed my bag and headed outside."Don't stay long and don't think too much about Aaron."I chuckled as I walked out.A few minutes later, I arrived at the bus stop.There weren't many people around.I was checking my phone when a familiar voice spoke."Allison."I looked up.Liam.For a second, both of us froze.After everything that had happened, this wasn't exactly an easy enco

    *Allison's POV* Aaron and I arrived at school a bit late today.As we got into the school building, all eyes turned toward us.The whole drama had only just begun.Aaron stepped out of the car first before coming around to open my door. His hand slipped into mine naturally, his fingers warm and firm as he helped me out.His golden brown hair was slightly messy from the morning breeze, and his school jacket hung effortlessly over his broad shoulders. The familiar scent of his cologne drifted toward me—clean, expensive, and distinctly Aaron.Meanwhile, I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me.The whispers started immediately."That's them.""Aaron and Allison.""The contest couple.""Did you see the forum?""They're definitely winning."Aaron remained completely unbothered.I, on the other hand, was trying not to melt under the attention.We eventually found a quieter corner of the hallway near the student lounge.Or at least, what should have been a quieter corner.Within minu

    My chest tightened a bit with the way he said those words.Aaron still held my wrist lightly.The empty classroom felt too quiet now.Late afternoon sunlight stretched across the floor while dust floated lazily through the air between us.And God…being this close to him was making everything harde

    *Aaron’s POV* I barely slept.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Allison’s face again.Not angry. Not yelling.Just hurt.And somehow that was worse.I sat at the edge of my bed staring at my phone for what felt like the hundredth time that night.Still nothing.No reply. No call. No “leave me
