Shirley’s POVThe slam of the door still echoes in the quiet house. I stand frozen, staring at the space Kelly has just left behind. My chest rises and falls unevenly, my heart hammering. I can’t believe what just happened.I turn to my parents, searching their faces. “Why, why did you say all that to her? You don’t even know Ivan.” I ask.My father lowers the newspaper he had been clutching, no longer pretending to read. His eyes are softer than I have seen in years. “Because we know you, Shirley. And we have been unfair to you for far too long.”My mother steps closer, her hand hesitating before reaching for mine. Her touch feels both foreign and tender. “We see it now.

Kelly’s POVThe classroom walls close in on me, the whispers and stares pressing like knives into my skin. Ivan’s words echo in my head, each one slicing deeper than the last. “I do not love you. I will never choose you.”He said it in front of everyone. Everyone.My cheeks burn so hot I can barely stand it. I see their eyes, my classmates, mocking, pitying, some even smirking. Shirley sits there, glowing with tears of joy, holding his hand like she has won some kind of prize. And maybe she has. She has taken everything from me.I can’t stay here. I grab my bag, my fingers fumbling with the zipper, and I storm out before anyone can laugh in my face. The hallway blurs as I walk faster, then faster still, until I am outside. The cool air slaps my skin, but it doesn’t soothe me. It only makes the tears sting harder.* * * * * * * * * *At home, I lock myself in my room. I pace, I cry, and I scream into my pillow. Hours pass, but the ache does not fade instead, it festers, turning into so
Ivan’s POVI don’t sleep much that night. My mind keeps circling back to her, Shirley. The way her eyes lit up when she said yes, the way her arms wrapped around me when I gave her the phone. That moment is burned into me. She chose me, even after everything, even when the whole school turned on her. She still chose me.And now it’s my turn to choose her, loudly, publicly, and without hesitation.For too long, Shirley has been treated like she is invisible. By her so-called friends, by her classmates, maybe even by her own family. But not anymore. I am going to make sure everyone knows exactly who she is to me.* * * * * * * * * * * *The next morning, I walk into school earlier than usual. My heart pounds with determination. In my bag, I carry the stack of letters and cards Kelly has slipped me over the past months, each one a reminder of her obsession, her refusal to accept the truth. I never wanted to humiliate her, but after what she did to Shirley yesterday, I know I have no cho
