As they all settled in, Polaris noticed Sebastian watching her intently. There was a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes, and she sensed he wanted to speak to her privately. When the crowd dispersed momentarily, he motioned for her to follow him outside to the balcony.“Hey, can we talk for a minute?” he asked, his voice sincere.“Of course,” she replied, stepping out into the cool night air. The stars twinkled above them, casting a soft glow on the two of them as they leaned against the railing.“I just wanted to say I’m really sorry about everything that happened before,” Sebastian began, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. “I didn’t mean to make you feel uncomfortable. I know things got messed up between us.”Polaris sighed, her heart softening at his honesty. “It’s okay, really. I was just overwhelmed. I know you didn’t mean it the way it came out. I just… I’ve had a lot on my mind.”“I get it. But I want you to know that I value our friendship,” he said earnestly, looking dire

Sebastian paced the expansive gymnasium, the echo of basketballs bouncing against polished wooden floors providing a rhythmic backdrop to his racing heart. The team had gathered for practice, but his mind was elsewhere, preoccupied with thoughts of one person: Polaris. He hadn’t seen her since her birthday celebration, but the memory of her smiling face lingered like a warm glow in his chest.The practice was intense, but as he shot hoops and executed plays, his mind wandered. Every time he sank a basket, he imagined Polaris cheering him on, her laughter ringing in his ears. He was determined to show her that he cared, to let her see the side of him that was tender and thoughtful. As the practice session began to wind down, he caught a glimpse of her walking outside the gymnasium windows, her ponytail swaying gently as she strolled along the path.“Guys, I need to take a quick break,” he announced, surprising his teammates. Before they could respond, he dashed out of the gym, his hear

Sebastian stepped out of the bar, the sound of laughter and music fading into the night as he inhaled the cool, crisp air. He leaned against the wall, allowing the momentary chill to ground him. A flood of thoughts rushed through his mind, and he squeezed his eyes shut, trying to focus.What had just happened inside? A woman had kissed him, her lips soft against his, and for a split second, he had let himself get swept away. But then—her face, her laughter, the way her eyes sparkled in the light—it had all shifted. In the midst of the kiss, the image of Polaris flooded his mind like a wave crashing over a beach, leaving him gasping for breath. He pushed himself off the wall, running a hand through his hair, trying to shake off the thoughts that lingered like a shadow.“No, no, no,” he muttered to himself, the words tumbling out in frustration. “This can’t be happening. I can’t be thinking about her like this.”His heart raced with confusion, an unwelcome mix of excitement and dread se

The following week was a blur for William, filled with back-to-back classes and team meetings. He felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders, balancing his studies, basketball practice, and his growing feelings for Polaris. It was a Thursday afternoon when he found himself seated at a large table in a bustling café, surrounded by his classmates. They were discussing upcoming projects and assignments, but his mind wandered as he absentmindedly stirred his coffee.“William! Earth to William!” one of his friends, Jake, called, snapping him back to reality. “Are you even listening?”“Sorry, what?” he asked, shaking his head as he tried to refocus.“I said, are you ready for the final presentation next week? We can’t afford to mess this up,” Jake said, leaning forward, concern etched on his face.“Yeah, I’m ready,” William replied, forcing a smile. “I’ve got my part down. Just need to practice with you guys.”The conversation shifted back to assignments, but William’s thoughts drif

Polaris stood in front of the bathroom mirror, the fluorescent lights above flickering slightly, mirroring her tumultuous emotions. The laughter and chatter of her classmates outside seemed to fade into a dull roar, distant and unreachable. She gripped the sink tightly, her knuckles turning white as she fought back the tears threatening to spill over.“Why do I even bother?” she muttered under her breath, her voice barely above a whisper. Today was acceptance day, a day meant for celebration, yet it only amplified her feelings of isolation. Everyone else has someone to share this moment with, she thought bitterly, but I’m just… alone.The memory of the bullying from earlier that day surged back, each taunt echoing in her mind like a cruel reminder of her status. “Look, it’s the orphan. Bet no one’s coming for her,” one boy had sneered, prompting laughter from his friends. Polaris had tried to brush it off, but the sting of their words cut deep, festering in her heart. She felt the fam
