You opened up the suitcase and pulled out the dried roses, their once vibrant colours now faded and brittle. With a small pang of bittersweet nostalgia, you placed them in a vase, trying to ignore the irony of putting an object that represented love into a container filled with the memories of a lost romance.

You sat on the cold floor and start wondering how things change so quick.

Flashback:

Sylus, he's the bad boy in the academy, always talking back, causing trouble. You, on the other hand, are obedient,sunshine girl always doing everything right, always getting perfect scores. They hate each other.

Sylus and you sit next to each other in the back row of their Advanced Physics class at DeepSpace Academy. The tension between them is palpable, like two magnets pushing and pulling.

Sylus glances over at Ava's notebook filled with neat equations and diagrams. He smirks and leans in close, his breath tickling her ear.

"Looks like someone's trying awful hard to impress the teacher. Bet you copy those formulas straight from the textbook,Y/N"

Y/N, without looking up from her notes, responds with a sweet, venomous smile.

"Oh, Sylus, always so quick with the jokes. Maybe if you spent more time studying and less time being... you, you'd understand these 'formulas' better."

Sylus's face darkens, but not with anger - with embarrassment. He sits back in his chair, crossing his arms over his chest. Under his breath, he mutters,

"What a pain in ass..."

He glares at Ava, but there's a new spark in his eyes.

As the class continues, Sylus finds himself stealing glances at you, noticing the way her hair falls over her shoulder, the way her pencil hovers over the paper as she works out complex problems. He feels a warmth spreading in his chest, a strange, boyish feeling he can't quite explain.

The next day, the popular boy in their class, Zack, stands up and announces to the whole class,

"Hey everyone, I'm having a pool party at my place this weekend. All are invited!"

He looks directly at you and adds with a wink,

"Especially you, Y/N."

Ava rolls her eyes at the announcement, but can't help feeling a tiny spark of excitement. She's been studying non-stop for weeks, and the thought of a break by the pool sounds heavenly. She agrees to come, mainly because she needs a distraction from her studies.

"Fine, I'll be there."

Sylus clenches his jaw as he watches you agree to the party. A flash of jealousy courses through him at the thought of her spending time with Zack and the other popular kids. He tries to play it cool, but inside, his stomach twists with an unfamiliar feeling.
