The Day She Chose Someone Else
Even during breaks, we would discuss assignments together, often drawing teasing whistles from some of the girls in class.
Whenever that happened, Ella’s ears would turn red as she whispered an apology to me.
I would just lower my head, too shy to meet her eyes.
Until one day, after school, she confessed her feelings.
Back then, she was tall, fair-skinned, a top student, and clearly bound for WIT.
I truly believed I was the male lead in a campus romance, and that she was the girl fate had chosen for me.
No one could’ve predicted it would all come to a brutal halt ten years later, on that rainy night.
