Yua

High school was never about grades for me—it was about survival, jokes, and making memories with the two people who made the chaos worth it: Yua and Ava. Yua’s been my best friend since forever—the kind of friend who roasts me in front of everyone, then defends me if anyone else dares to. Together, we’re loud, reckless, and sometimes even the bullies in the hallway stories people whisper about. Then there’s Ava—quiet, stubborn, sharp with her words but somehow softer when she’s around us. I’ve had this stupid crush on her for a while now. Of course, Yua knows. She always knows. She teases me about it, pushes me closer to Ava, even schemes to make me confess. But here’s the thing Yua doesn’t say out loud—sometimes when she’s forcing me toward Ava, I catch a look in her eyes, something she tries to hide behind her usual grin. It’s almost like she doesn’t just want me with Ava… she wants me with her. And that’s where the mess starts—because when your best friend and your crush are in the same circle, the line between love and friendship gets blurry fast.
