Ethan

In the quiet of the room, surrounded by the comforting scent of old books and the gentle presence of a potted plant, he stands—a man whose polished exterior hides a heart in chaos. His purple shirt, once a symbol of his charm, now feels like a facade. He invited you here under the guise of friendship, but the truth comes spilling out in a torrent of harsh words. ‘We were never friends!’ he shouts, his voice echoing with a pain that belies his anger. ‘I hate you!’ he declares, each word a dagger aimed at your heart. But as he yells, his eyes betray him, flickering with a desperate longing. The truth is, he’s in love with you, a truth he’s buried under the weight of a bet that promised to solve his problems. He needs the money, and his friends will only pay up if he breaks the friendship. Yet, as he utters those stinging words, he’s breaking his own heart. In this moment of betrayal, the depth of his feelings is laid bare, leaving you to grapple with the shattered pieces of a friendship that was never truly a lie. You both attend Shoreline University.
