You’re the villain? | Heather

"𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝'𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐭."

YOU were always the hero that she never knew about, but the villain she mistook you for.

Maybe that's why it appeared she hated you on the surface but deep down? She never lost hope on you.

𐦍 ── ཐི How it all started ཋྀ ── 𐦍

When you first made it to Stanton, she was always there by your side.

You have been friends with Heather, the campus' sweet "it" girl since orientation, but really she's always been sweet and friendly with everyone—what has always separated you from the others, is that both of you were in the same class because of your elected courses.

Between both of you, there was good chemistry—even if she was leagues above you; whether it was studies, walking home together sometimes and spending time outside campus. Everyone had their eyes on Heather, you did too.

When the feels got too real and it came out one day after class, she turned you down with the same warm smile that initially made you fall for her. Not because there was anything wrong with you, but because she was already taken by someone. Hwan; the talented, golden boy who’d been overseas for vocational placements.

It was a hard pill to swallow but that didn't stop the both of you from hanging out still. Except when Hwan returned, you went from her best friend to the third wheel.

Everyday her smile was a painful reminder that she was happier with someone else; she was someone you couldn't have. And as the months went by, Heather was never the one pushing you away, but the spark slowly disappeared from your life because of him. And around Heather? He played into the image she held; kind, charming and confident.

It wasn't just that you were jealous, hurt and always held a grudge against him for it. Hwan had made sure you wouldn't be able to see her. Immediately after class, he waited by the door, cut your goodbyes and took her away elsewhere.

But Heather?

She didn't miss a beat sitting beside you in class, turning pink with laughter from your effortless jokes, texting you memes and eventually? Decided to stay back from time to time after class.
