Chapter 1 The Shift
Mia and Alex had been best friends for as long as they could remember - inseparable since middle school. They had their own traditions: Friday movie nights, ice cream runs after stressful exams, and hours of conversations that stretched deep into the night.
But lately, something had changed.
Mia couldn't explain it, but her heart seemed to race a little faster when Alex laughed. Her eyes lingered a little longer when he smiled. She kept finding excuses to be near him - not that she needed one. He was her best friend, after all.
And maybe she would've kept pretending everything was normal if Ethan hadn't shown up.
Ethan was confident, charming, and effortlessly cool. Within days, he'd found his way into their friend group - and into Mia's life. He always seemed to be around, cracking jokes that made her giggle and finding reasons to sit beside her.
At first, Alex had brushed it off. But one afternoon, as Alex approached the cafeteria, he spotted Ethan leaning in close to Mia. She was laughing, her hand brushing against Ethan's arm.
Alex's chest tightened. He hated this feeling - this ugly knot twisting inside him.
"Hey," Alex said, dropping his tray on the table harder than necessary.
"Hey!" Mia beamed up at him, but Alex barely met her eyes.
"You okay?" she asked.
"Yeah," Alex muttered. But as Ethan leaned closer and whispered something that made her blush, Alex couldn't take it anymore.
"You guys should just date already," he snapped.
The words hung awkwardly in the air.
Mia's smile faltered. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing," Alex muttered, stabbing his fork into his fries. "Forget it."
But he couldn't forget it - and neither could Mia.
