They weren't supposed to last long - but they did. We met online; though a group chat that turned my life happier. I never expected them to be my comfort place. My people. This letter, a memory. A promise. for the people who made digital life mean everything to me.

Xyrene Rika Velasquez has mastered the art of fading into the background. Quiet, composed, and always behind the lens, she lets her camera tell stories words never could. Oddly, though, Jace Jhiro Navarro, the school s untouchable heartbreaker, seems determined to drag her out of that comfort zone-one rude remark after another. To everyone watching, Jace looks like nothing more than a garden-variety bully. To Xyrene, though, he s a messy whirl of smirks, sarcasm. She has no idea why he picks on her, and he has no clue how to admit he s liked her since day one. A one-shot inspired by the hit song "Love Warning" by Third Kamikaze-where teasing hides truth, silence hides scars, and warnings hide love.
