He was just the boy next door 'til he became the one who broke her heart.
Cali never believed in love at first sight, but something about her quiet, charming neighbor made her heart skip. She fell slowly, then all at once liking his smile, his voice, even the way he walked past her gate like he didn't notice her.
So when he finally messaged her out of the blue, she thought maybe... just maybe, he felt it too.
But feelings don't always grow at the same time or in the same way. What started as a dream turned into mixed signals, cold replies, and a connection that faded before it ever really bloomed.
Now she's stuck wondering: was she just a phase? A distraction? Or was she never even seen at all?
He used to be a crush.
He used to be a friend.
He used to be hers... almost.
