Maya had been in love with Ethan for as long as she could remember. Ethan wasn't just her best friend; he was her safe space in the chaotic, unpredictable world of adolescence.
They met when she was 14, and he was 15. From the first moment he smiled at her in that crowded hallway, Maya knew her heart wasn't hers anymore.
For three long years, she lived with a silent hope. She helped Ethan with assignments, laughed at his terrible jokes, and supported him through every heartbreak—even though each of his crushes broke her heart too. Ethan, however, remained oblivious.
When Maya turned 17, she realized she couldn't keep waiting for something that might never happen. Moving on was a slow, painful process. There were nights when she cried into her pillow, mornings when she woke up and still hoped for a miracle, and days when Ethan's casual texts felt like reopening a wound.
But slowly, Maya began to heal. By the time she reached her final year of school, she had let go of her romantic feelings for Ethan. They remained friends, but her heart was no longer tethered to an impossible dream.
