09:44Katie, how long are you going to keep this up?
09:46We broke up. Go find Rachel.
09:48It's just an act. You're the one I love.
09:50You say you love me, but then you post that you don't want it to end.
09:53That story?
09:56You saw it?
09:57I saw everything.
09:59I saw everything. You held the umbrella over her. You took drinks for her. If you like her that much,
10:03why do you keep coming back to me?
10:05I shut the door before he can explain. My phone lights up with a UCAS confirmation email. Your UCAS application
10:10has been submitted successfully.
10:12I book an early flight to the UK. I stare at the flight confirmation and make up my mind to
10:16leave for good.
10:45Seriously, Lucas, you two grew up together and you really feel nothing?
10:47I pick fights. But the second they lock eyes, both screens flash bright red. Rachel, 180. Lucas, 180.
10:53Two, the room explodes. They both turn red, glare at each other and demand a redo. Someone shoves them closer.
10:58Rachel, don't be a sore loser. Who's a sore loser? I'm more worried someone else can't handle losing.
11:04My phone buzzes. Lucas texts, Gaby, let's take a four-month break. We'll get back together as soon as college
11:09starts.
11:10I can't let Rachel beat me. I freeze for a second, then reply, okay. I spent the entire winter fighting
11:15to stay in the United States. I don't need to anymore.
11:18The party is so loud it could blow the roof off. Lucas and Rachel get pushed into the middle of
11:22the living room. The guys chant while the girls scream.
11:24This is so cute!
11:25I lowered my phone and looked it up. The two people who normally can't stand each other are both blushing.
11:30Lucas slips an arm around Rachel's shoulders and pretends to be annoyed.
11:33All right, calm down. We literally just got paired.
11:37Rachel shoots back, her face red. It's a fake relationship. Four months, then we're done.
11:41The cheering gets even louder. Lucas, if you're with Rachel, what about Katie? Her heart rate hit 160!
11:46Yeah! She couldn't even look at you!
11:48Every eye in the room lands on me. Lucas only gives me a flat glance.
11:52We're just friends.
11:53One casual word, friends, erases more than a decade between us. Once again, I'm the joke.
11:58Oh my god, she's always clutching that sad little writing journal. She's so weird.
12:02And her grades are average.
12:03Why would Lucas care about her?
12:05She's just some ordinary girl obsessed with the hockey captain.
12:08I have heard those words for three years. I've never hidden my feelings. The whole school knows I like Lucas.
12:13But at school, Lucas always keeps his distance. He stays three feet away from me and never reacts when people
12:18tease us.
12:19But the second we step off campus, he holds my hand, walks me home, pins me against a wall, and
12:23kisses me. With his breath tangled with mine, I believe we're in love.
12:27Katie likes Lucas is the whole school's favorite joke. Lucas is Katie's boyfriend is my secrets alone.
12:32I drink one cup after another while they laugh and cheer. My phone buzzes again. It's a text from Lucas.
12:38Don't drink too much. You're not good with alcohol, I look at him.
12:40Lucas is standing in front of Rachel, taking drink after drink for her. Whenever Rachel raises her phone, he grins
12:46like an idiot and flashes a peace sign for the camera.
12:48He doesn't hide how he feels. Not even a little.
12:50In front of everyone, Lucas offers to walk Rachel home, then grabs the umbrella I just opened. By the time
12:56the party ends, it's two in the morning, and rain is pouring outside.
12:59Katie, we don't have an umbrella. We'll take yours. Get a ride with someone else.
13:03Be safe, Katie. I'll give it back tomorrow.
13:05Don't read too much into it, Rachel. This is fake.
13:07We're done when the contract ends.
13:09They bicker as they disappear into the rain. Only I notice Lucas tilts almost the entire umbrella over Rachel, while
13:14the rain soaks one side of his shoulder.
13:17Everyone else leaves one by one. They tell me,
13:19Katie, I only have one umbrella.
13:21Katie, you're not on my way.
13:22Katie, my car's full.
13:24Lucas knows I have no friends in our class. He knows no one will give me a ride. Still, he
13:28takes my umbrella and leaves me there alone.
13:30I stand in the doorway, rain and tears running together, and order myself an Uber.
13:36We promised we'd make our relationship public after graduation. Instead, he broke up with me and puts on a public
13:41romance with someone else.
13:42My phone rings again. It's an iMessage from Mom.
13:45Katie, if you want to stay in the U.S. for college, you can.
13:47I start typing. Mom, I've made up my mind. I'm going to apply to universities in the U.K.
13:53By the time I get home, I'm soaked. My hair sticks to my face and my shoes are full of
13:57water.
13:57My phone buzzes. It's an Instagram notification from Lucas.
14:00I open the app and see his latest post.
14:02When at Rachel becomes my girlfriend.
14:04In the photo, his arm is around her shoulders and he looks smug.
14:09Rachel crosses her arms and pouts. Fierce but cute.
14:12As if she is sulking and challenging him at once.
14:15The comments blow up right away.
14:16Oh my god, my favorite couple.
14:18The hockey captain and the head cheerleader.
14:20Perfect match.
14:21Then I see comments about me.
14:23Lucas goes public so fast.
14:24Katie must be crying by now.
14:26Crying? She doesn't deserve to.
14:27Sure, her family has money.
14:28But that's about it.
14:29She's not good enough for Lucas.
14:31Then someone posts an ugly picture of me that they secretly took at last year's school sports day.
14:36More and more people like it until the picture climbs to the top of the comments.
14:39I throw my phone onto the couch and burst into tears.
14:42Not good enough has followed me like a shadow for more than 10 years ever since I met Lucas.
14:46Lucas looks perfect, gets perfect grades, and has the kind of athletic talent everyone envies.
14:51Compared to him, I was invisible.
14:52Average grades, plain, quiet, never at parties.
14:55Always in a corner with a book, even though he never came over to me at school.
14:59Whenever someone picked on me, Lucas was always the first one to stand up for me.
15:03The worst time, a group of guys cornered me.
15:06Lucas jumped in and fought them to protect me.
15:08I cleaned his cuts afterward.
15:10My heart ached so much that I couldn't speak.
15:12We started dating in secret after that.
15:14I thought I was special to him.
15:16Rachel transferred to our school in junior year.
15:18She was beautiful and smart.
15:20As soon as she arrived, she took first place from Lucas.
15:22Lucas started picking on her.
15:24They competed over grades, contests, and clubs.
15:27When Rachel won the regional speech and debate championship, Lucas signed up for the next debate tournament.
15:32Lucas was the hockey team captain.
15:34So Rachel ran for head cheerleader.
15:36Whoever lost had to do whatever the winner asked.
15:38The whole school shipped them.
15:39Lucas always complained about it loudly.
15:41I didn't understand at first.
15:43Now I do.
15:43Whenever Rachel gave a speech, Lucas couldn't take his eyes off her.
15:47Whenever she looked at him, he looked away right away.
15:49When she felt sick, he secretly brought her hot water.
15:52When she failed a test, he pushed her to do better, using harsh words to hide how much he cared.
15:56Even the famous hockey captain was still a teenage boy.
15:59Around a girl he liked, he did childish, confusing things just to get her attention.
16:03What really scared me was the SAT in June of our junior year.
16:06Rachel scored badly.
16:07The test, after summer, was her last chance.
16:09Lucas scored well, but he didn't to show off.
16:11He canceled every date with me and spent all his time studying with her in the library and making study
16:15notes.
16:16I barely saw him all summer.
16:18Instead, Instagram was full of candid photos of the two of them together.
16:21I begged him to let me join their study group.
16:23He gently patted my head and said,
16:25We're studying things that are too hard for you.
16:27Just study at home.
16:29After we graduate, we'll tell everyone we're together.
16:32I waited without complaint.
16:33I believed that if I could just endure it, he would come back to me.
16:36But after tonight, I finally understand.
16:38My classmates aren't the only ones who look down on me.
16:41Lucas does too.
16:44I cry myself to sleep on the couch.
16:46By the time I wake up, the rain has stopped.
16:48The doorbell rings.
16:49I open the door and find Lucas on the porch.
16:51He sounds impatient.
16:52I deleted the comments.
16:53The post isn't real.
16:55My mom wants you at dinner.
16:56Let's go.
16:57He reaches for my hand, but I step away.
16:59When we get to Lucas' house, Rachel is already there.
17:01She pushes the umbrella into my hands and smiles brightly.
17:04Katie, thanks for your umbrella.
17:06Katie, perfect timing.
17:08My son got a girlfriend and didn't even tell me.
17:11All I can do is force a smile and nod.
17:14At dinner, Lucas' mom is very happy to hear that Rachel is a top student and a head cheerleader.
17:18Rachel and Lucas are perfect for each other.
17:21My son should be with a girl like her.
17:23She can't stop smiling.
17:24Lucas quickly changes the subject.
17:26I applied to Stanford.
17:28What about you, Rachel?
17:29Stanford, of course.
17:30I'm definitely going to get in.
17:32Lucas' mom looks even happier.
17:34Katie, where are you applying?
17:37Katie's grades are just so-so.
17:39She could apply to a state school.
17:41Before we broke up, that really was my plan.
17:43Now everything is different.
17:44I'll talk about it later.
17:46I say quietly.
17:47Lucas' face darkens at once.
17:49He looks down and starts texting me.
17:50I don't reply.
17:52After dinner, Lucas' mom takes out a stack of cash and hands it to him.
17:57Katie, come with us.
17:58We're all classmates.
17:59It's okay.
18:00Are you coming?
18:01You guys go.
18:02I've got a cold, so I'm heading home to rest.
18:04His brow relaxes.
18:06He takes Rachel's hand and leaves.
18:07I watch their fingers lock together, and the red numbers from the No Sparks challenge flash through my mind.
18:13Maybe I had lost from the very beginning.
18:16I go home and sleep again.
18:17When I wake up, social media is exploding.
18:19Lucas and Rachel have both posted a carousel of amusement park photos.
18:23The comments are full of hearts.
18:24Then Lucas posts a story.
18:26Suddenly, I don't want this to end.
18:28He deletes it seconds later.
18:29I'm not surprised.
18:30I saw the signs that he was falling for her before he did.
18:33Early the next morning, Lucas shows up at my door.
18:36Katie, take your medicine.
18:37I'm fine.
18:41Katie, how long are you going to keep this up?
18:43We broke up.
18:44Go find Rachel.
18:44It's just an act.
18:46You're the one I love.
18:47You say you love me, but then you post that you don't want it to end.
18:51That story?
18:53You saw it?
18:54I saw everything.
18:55You held the umbrella over her.
18:57You took drinks for her.
18:58If you like her that much, why do you keep coming back to me?
19:01I shut the door before he can explain.
19:03My phone lights up with a UCAS confirmation email.
19:06Your UCAS application has been submitted successfully.
19:08I book an early flight to the UK.
19:10I stare at the flight confirmation and make up my mind to leave for good.
19:13Rachel, I'm sorry.
19:15The contract ends here.
19:16We're done.
19:17Everyone stares.
19:19Rachel's eyes go wide.
19:20What did you say?
19:21Why can't you say yes to me?
19:23Lucas lowers his head and says nothing.
19:25Is this because of Katie?
19:26Lucas and I have been secretly dating for two years.
19:29But now, at the first party after regular decision applications close, he announces to everyone.
19:33We're just friends.
19:34I've never been interested in her.
19:36And he gets matched with another girl, Rachel.
19:38And everyone says, of course.
19:40The hockey team captain and the head cheerleader are perfect together.
19:43Within seconds, social media floods with screenshots and heart emojis.
19:47And me, his actual girlfriend, all I get is a cold text.
19:50Baby, let's take a four-month break.
19:52We'll get back together as soon as college starts.
19:55I can't let Rachel beat me.
19:56I never get the chance to tell him this.
19:58My parents were transferred to the UK a year ago.
20:00They have always wanted me to go to college there, and I couldn't choose.
20:04Now I don't have to.
20:06At the first party after regular decision applications close,
20:09someone suggests the No Sparks Eye Contact Challenge.
20:12The rules are simple.
20:13A guy and a girl stare at each other.
20:16If both heart rates top a 150, they have to fake date for four months.
20:20It can start fake and turn real.
20:23Everyone at the party bursts out laughing.
20:25The first draw pairs me, Katie, with Lucas, my childhood best friend.
20:29I'm so nervous I can barely look at him.
20:30My watch shoots up to 160.
20:32Lucas' screen stays at 80.
20:34He looks at me as calmly as if I'm a stranger.
20:37When the timer ends, our classmates start hooting and snickering.
20:40Katie, you're in love with the hockey captain.
20:43Seriously, Lucas?
20:44You two grew up together, and you really feel nothing?
20:46If only my dad's stocks were as stable as his heartbeat!
20:50Katie, that's so obvious.
20:51So embarrassing.
20:52I say nothing.
20:54No one knows Lucas and I have been secretly together for two years.
20:57I thought tonight we'd finally go public.
20:59But once again, he draws a line between us in front of everyone.
21:03Lucas gets picked again in the next round.
21:05This time, the girl is Rachel, our school's head cheerleader.
21:08They're famous for being sworn enemies.
21:10Every time they meet, they trade insults and pick fights.
21:13But the second they lock eyes, both screens flash bright red.
21:17Rachel, 180.
21:18Lucas, 180.
21:19Two, the room explodes.
21:20They both turn red, glare at each other, and demand a redo.
21:22Someone shoves them closer.
21:24Rachel, don't be a sore loser!
21:26Who's a sore loser?
21:27I'm more worried someone else can't handle losing.
21:30My phone buzzes.
21:31Lucas texts,
21:32Gaby, let's take a four-month break.
21:33We'll get back together as soon as college starts.
21:35I can't let Rachel beat me.
21:37I freeze for a second, then reply,
21:38Okay.
21:39I spent the entire winter fighting to stay in the United States.
21:42I don't need to anymore.
21:43The party is so loud it could blow the roof off.
21:45Lucas and Rachel get pushed into the middle of the living room.
21:48The guys chant while the girls scream.
21:50This is so cute!
21:51I lowered my phone and looked it up.
21:52The two people who normally can't stand each other are both blushing.
21:55Lucas slips an arm around Rachel's shoulders and pretends to be annoyed.
21:59Alright, calm down.
22:00We literally just got paired.
22:03Rachel shoots back, her face red.
22:04It's a fake relationship.
22:05Four months, then we're done.
22:06The cheering gets even louder.
22:08Lucas, if you're with Rachel, what about Katie?
22:10Her heart rate hit 160!
22:11Yeah!
22:12She couldn't even look at you!
22:14Every eye in the room lands on me.
22:15Lucas only gives me a flat glance.
22:17We're just friends.
22:18One casual word, friends, erases more than a decade between us.
22:22Once again, I'm the joke.
22:23Oh my god, she's always clutching that sad little writing journal.
22:26She's so weird.
22:27And her grades are average.

22:31She's just some ordinary girl obsessed with the hockey captain.
22:34I have heard those words for three years.
22:36I've never hidden my feelings.
22:37The whole school knows I like Lucas.
22:39But at school, Lucas always keeps his distance.
22:41He stays three feet away from me and never reacts when people tease us.
22:44But the second we step off campus, he holds my hand, walks me home, pins me against a wall,
22:48and kisses me.
22:49With his breath tangled with mine, I believe we're in love.
22:52Katie likes Lucas as the whole school's favorite joke.
22:55Lucas as Katie's boyfriend is my secret alone.
22:58I drink one cup after another while they laugh and cheer.
23:00My phone buzzes again.
23:02It's a text from Lucas.
23:03Don't drink too much.
23:04You're not good with alcohol.
23:05I look at him.
23:06Lucas is standing in front of Rachel, taking drink after drink for her.
23:09Whenever Rachel raises her phone, he grins like an idiot and flashes a peace sign for
23:13the camera.
23:13He doesn't hide how he feels.
23:15Not even a little.
23:16In front of everyone, Lucas offers to walk Rachel home, then grabs the umbrella I just
23:20opened.
23:21By the time the party ends, it's two in the morning and rain is pouring outside.
23:24Katie, we don't have an umbrella.
23:25We'll take yours.
23:26Get a ride with someone else.
23:28Be safe, Katie.
23:29I'll give it back tomorrow.
23:30Don't read too much into it, Rachel.
23:32This is fake.
23:33We're done when the contract ends.
23:35They bicker as they disappear into the rain.
23:36Only I notice Lucas tilts almost the entire umbrella over Rachel, while the rain soaks one
23:41side of his shoulder.
23:42Everyone else leaves one by one.
23:44They tell me, Katie, I only have one umbrella.
23:47Katie, you're not on my way.
23:48Katie, my car's full.
23:49Lucas knows I have no friends in our class.
23:51He knows no one will give me a ride.
23:53Still, he takes my umbrella and leaves me there alone.
23:55I stand in the doorway, rain and tears running together, and order myself an Uber.
24:01We promised we'd make our relationship public after graduation.
24:04Instead, he broke up with me and puts on a public romance with someone else.
24:08My phone rings again.
24:09It's an iMessage from mom.
24:11Katie, if you want to stay in the US for college, you can.
24:13I start typing.
24:14Mom, I've made up my mind.
24:16I'm going to apply to universities in the UK.
24:18By the time I get home, I'm soaked.
24:20My hair sticks to my face and my shoes are full of water.

26:47I begged him to let me join their study group.
26:48He gently patted my head and said,
26:50We're studying things that are too hard for you.
26:52Just study at home.
26:55After we graduate, we'll tell everyone we're together.
26:57I waited without complaint.
26:59I believed that if I could just endure it,
27:01he would come back to me.
27:02But after tonight, I finally understand.
27:04My classmates aren't the only ones who look down on me.
27:07Lucas does too.
27:09I cry myself to sleep on the couch.
27:11By the time I wake up, the rain has stopped.
27:13The doorbell rings.
27:14I open the door and find Lucas on the porch.
27:16He sounds impatient.
27:18I deleted the comments.
27:19The post isn't real.
27:20My mom wants you at dinner.
27:22Let's go.
27:23He reaches for my hand, but I step away.
27:24When we get to Lucas' house, Rachel is already there.
27:27She pushes the umbrella into my hands and smiles brightly.
27:29Katie, thanks for your umbrella.
27:32Katie, perfect timing.
27:33My son got a girlfriend and didn't even tell me.
27:37All I can do is force a smile and nod.
27:39At dinner, Lucas' mom is very happy to hear
27:41that Rachel is a top student and a head cheerleader.
27:44Rachel and Lucas are perfect for each other.
27:46My son should be with a girl like her.
27:48She can't stop smiling.
27:50Lucas quickly changes the subject.
27:52I applied to Stanford.
27:53What about you, Rachel?
27:54Stanford, of course.
27:56I'm definitely going to get in.
27:58Lucas' mom looks even happier.
28:00Katie, where are you applying?
28:02Katie's grades are just so-so.
28:04She could apply to a state school.
28:06Before we broke up, that really was my plan.
28:08Now everything is different.
28:10I'll talk about it later.
28:11I say quietly.
28:12Lucas' face darkens at once.
28:14He looks down and starts texting me.
28:16I don't reply.
28:17After dinner, Lucas' mom takes out a stack of cash
28:20and hands it to him.
28:22Katie, come with us.
28:24We're all classmates.
28:24It's okay.
28:25Are you coming?
28:27You guys go.
28:28I've got a cold, so I'm heading home to rest.
28:30His brow relaxes.
28:31He takes Rachel's hand and leaves.
28:33I watch their fingers lock together,
28:35and the red numbers from the No Sparks challenge
28:37flash through my mind.
28:38Maybe I had lost from the very beginning.
28:41I go home and sleep again.
28:43When I wake up, social media is exploding.
28:45Lucas and Rachel have both posted a carousel
28:47of amusement park photos.
28:48The comments are full of hearts.
28:50Then Lucas posts a story.
28:51Suddenly, I don't want this to end.
28:53He deletes it seconds later.
28:54I'm not surprised.
28:55I saw the signs that he was falling for her before he did.
28:58Early the next morning, Lucas shows up at my door.
29:01Katie, take your medicine.
29:03I'm fine.
29:06Katie, how long are you going to keep this up?
29:08We broke up.
29:09Go find Rachel.
29:10It's just an act.
29:11You're the one I love.
29:12You say you love me,
29:13but then you post that you don't want it to end.
29:16That story?
29:18You saw it?
29:19I saw everything.
29:21You held the umbrella over her.
29:22You took drinks for her.
29:24If you like her that much,
29:25why do you keep coming back to me?
29:26I shut the door before he can explain.
29:28My phone lights up with a UCAS confirmation email.
29:31Your UCAS application has been submitted successfully.
29:34I book an early flight to the UK.
29:36I stare at the flight confirmation
29:37and make up my mind to leave for good.
