He looked startled too, but quickly recovered, stepping back.
“Are you okay?”
I nodded, flustered.
“Y–yeah. I’m fine.”
As I watched him walk away, my heart felt like it was blooming.
That rush of nervous excitement–I’ve never forgotten it.
So this is what people mean when they say love at first sight.
Today’s Valentine’s Day.
I put on my best dress–a little white one–and did my makeup with extra care.
Last night, Ethan had promised we’d go to the amusement park together.
But when I got there, I saw her again.
My grip tightened on the gift bag in my hands.
For a moment, I wanted to demand why she was there.
But I didn’t.

But to my surprise, he transferred to my school.
On his very first day, he became the talk of the campus–high IQ, movie–star looks.
Everyone was obsessed with him.
