You abruptly shut your book close and stand up.
I gave up the moment Alex and Maria go check on jewelry like some kind of besties.
Not even for a second, but for the past few days? You were expecting another person to be browsing through the books, but you were not expecting the boy from before to be standing behind you with a sheepish smile on his face.
Natasha had been in love with him too, once upon a time.
But he just sees you as his wing girl.
He was in love with her, the red-haired girl who would give you extra pastries when you worked on assignments in her shop, or comment sweet things on every picture you posted on Instagram.
