《 Unedited Version 》
Narration
As time flies, Ian had started to develop some type of feelings for Liz.
For the first time this have ever happened to him, yet he haven't noticed it.
Kaden on the other hand, was a guy who strives his very best to meet his goals however the only goal that he had always been too afraid to reach was asking Elizabeth to be his girl.
Elizabeth only felt pure friendship for Ian, nothing more than that...
Liz's bestie has started to ship Ian and Liz together. Since she knows that Ian would definitely go for Liz (always, with an ironic eye roll).
As the days, weeks and months went by...
Kaden and Ian tried to get along just for the sake of Liz.
Liz, her bestie, Kaden and Ian started to sit together like a squad for (many) in-school or out of school activities.
Ian currently tutors Liz on her weak subjects daily.
Mostly after work, he stays back at her place, to do their homework together.
Kaden had been jealous of Ian, when he heard that Ian was tutoring Liz everyday after school from Liz's Best friend.
Liz's bestie started being close to Kaden, because Kaden tends to ask her about Liz in a not so obvious way.
Elizabeth had been lowkey shipping her bestie and Kaden as a couple.
She genuinely thinks they are a pretty good match.
Just hoping that Kaden is not of those heart breaker guys.

Kaden' s POV
I am happy that I can be this close to Liz now.
I feel like a dream came true.
Just as I walk with Liz during lunch time today since the other two were absent.
Someone sprinted on the corridor and bumped into us.
More like he bumped into me and I fell towards Liz, she leaned to the wall behind her as I am in front of her.
I managed to distance myself from her when I realized.
My heart was racing due to the tension and uncontrollable emotions building within me by how close we were a while ago.
"Sorry...Are you alright tho?" I managed to ask her.
She shook her head, "I-I'm fine," she said but she looks at the ground with a disapproving look.
I don't know whether I should be happy or disappointed by the incident.
I just went with the flow, while trying to calm my inner self.
While we went back to the classroom.
We started chatting about the other two that didn't come to school.
Stating all sorts of reasons.
Then Elizabeth randomly asked a question that I wished she didn't.
"Btw, Kaden, I think....you and Cleo really match.... I mean you guys have similar interests, you guys get along so well, that sometimes makes me wonder, are you guys actually....dating?"
I was surprised when she asked.
"No! She and I are not dating. I treat her as a friend not more..." I replied.
