ARIA
I unlocked my phone with trembling fingers, my thumb hovering over the screen. A dull sense of unease pressed at my chest, and I tried to shake it off.
But the moment I opened f*******:, my stomach dropped.
New Couple Alert 💕 — Aria & Adrian! Who would have thought the weirdo has eyes for the famous basketballer? 😍🔥
My chest seized. The words blurred before my eyes, my hands shaking violently as I held the phone. I couldn’t breathe. My stomach twisted sharp and cold, as though someone had plunged a knife straight through it. Adrian? Adrian?
What—what was this?
I swiped down slowly, my thumb trembling with fear and disbelief. There it was: a photo from today’s tutorial session. My face—beaming with smiles, completely unguarded beside Adrian. And him… calm, relaxed, almost happy.
