**Author's Note:** This story is based on true events, but naturally, I've added my own twist.

"Hits different when I think you might be with somebody else."

**Alexis's Point of View:**

I typed away on my laptop, struggling to complete a college essay. My thoughts kept drifting, and I was overwhelmed by the pressure of graduation. Suddenly, I felt a presence approach. "Hey girl," Kierra greeted me as she walked up. I waved. "Are you studying Mr. Jones's work?" she asked. I shook my head. "I'm trying to finish his essay. I don't even know how to start it," I admitted, glancing back at my laptop.

The scent of cologne caught my attention, and I looked up to see her walking past. I spaced out, quietly admiring her as she chatted with friends across the hall. She seemed like a cool person, but I was reluctant to acknowledge it. "Why don't you just approach her?" Kierra suggested. "I'm shy," I blushed. "Girl, who cares? If you want to approach her, you will, and it'll be worth it," she said with a wink before walking away, leaving me deep in thought.

**Later That Day:**

I finally walked into the empty house and headed upstairs, scrolling through my feed. I saw her latest tweet, another depressing one, but I was too shy to respond. Setting my phone down, I turned on the shower, stripped off my clothes, and stepped into the soothing heat. The water streamed over me as I sang softly.

After washing up, I stood on the shower rug, scrutinizing my reflection in the mirror. Negative thoughts crowded my mind: "You're too skinny," "She only likes thick girls," "Your body is ugly," "Your breasts and butt aren't the right size." Sighing at my insecurities, I got dressed and sat on my bed, grabbing my phone and turning on Netflix. Orange is the New Black was playing. I scrolled through my feed again and saw her tweet. I sighed and quoted it, agreeing with her. To my surprise, she liked my comment and followed me back. I finally sent her a direct message.

**Me:** Oh, now you follow me back.

**Her:** My fault.

**Me:** You should've done it the first time. I'm offended. Jk, but it took you long enough.

**Her:** My bad, my bad.

**Me:** What's wrong, Kayla? You vent a lot on here, but not like that.

**Her:** I was like, how does she know my name? Then I remembered we went to school together and still do...

I shook my head as she opened up about what she was going through. I understood her completely and joked to lighten the mood. We spent the whole night texting, only for me to discover she had a girlfriend. Despite that, I went to bed with a smile on my face
