[First-person POV + campus life + top students + secret crush]
Who knew a secret crush could hold so much helplessness? He never noticed her, and never fell for her. She schemed and made threats. His affection was never meant for her, while her own feelings went unanswered, leaving her to face it all with composure.
Her secret crush was no longer innocent; her feelings were no longer unspoken; her passion no longer dimmed.
"Perhaps every sacrifice was destined by heaven, but I did it willingly. I have no regrets, and you don't have to repay me."
"I don't want to stop here, much less trap myself because of this identity."
