"Checkmate."
To defeat or frustrate totally. That's what it felt like when everything changed between them.
In the halls of high school, they were inseparable friends, sharing laughter, secrets, and memories that seemed unbreakable. It was all supposed to stay platonic... until she confessed her feelings. From that moment, the bond they once held slipped into silence. He grew distant. She grew heartbroken. And now, they are strangers with a past too heavy to forget.
He's Not Just That Into You is a story of unrequited love, the fragility of friendship, and the pain of realizing that some checkmates in life don't end with victory-only with loss.

⊱ ━━━━.⋅ εïз ⋅.━━━━ ⊰ "What's that?" she reached up for him, his face in her palm as she examined whatever was there. She pressed on it, and it kind of stung. "Did that hurt?" "Not really," he muttered. "Are you sure?" and he nodded. "It looks a bit swollen. It might've come from when you hit the ground or, something... I don't even know. It's just a small bruise, though, so I guess it's okay?" "Thanks, Doctor," he teased, and she pouted, the warmth of her skin leaving as she settled back into her seat. "How is it my fault you like to fight?" She crossed her arms in front of her chest, and he fully leaned in. His hand was no longer on the edge of the back cushions; rather, it had moved to her thigh. "How is it my fault you look good tonight?" he whispered in her ear.

Hey, Stranger
From messy crayons in kindergarten to secret jokes in elementary, they were a pair the world couldn't imagine apart. Then high school happened. One day, he stopped talking. No explanation. No goodbye. Just distance. Sharp, confusing, and painful in ways she never learned to name. She tried to understand. He never gave her a reason. And slowly, they became strangers with shared memories. Years later, college brings them back on the same campus - not quite friends, not truly strangers. Different programs, but fate keeps putting them in the same room, the same meetings, the same moments that feel a little too familiar for people who lost each other. She looks at him and remembers everything. He looks at her and pretends he doesn't. But the silence between them still asks the question she once whispered to the universe: Now, surrounded by new lives and old feelings, they must face the truth they ran from - that sometimes the people you lose aren't gone. They're just waiting for the right time to find their way back.Complete
