Against the Curve

Eve Villanueva spent five years convincing herself she had moved on.

Then she saw him again.

The boy she reported.

The boy she hated.

The boy she almost loved.

Back in university, they were never supposed to get along. She was the infamous irregular student who stood alone against everyone. He was the campus golden boy who seemed to have the entire world on his side.

But somehow between shared responsibilites and conversations that lasted longer than they should have, they became something neither of them was brave enough to name.

Five years ago, they walked away without the ending they deserved. Now they're back in the same place where everything started-forced to face the version of themselves they left behind and the feelings they never truly left behind.
