00:01On the bus, my rich boyfriend Leo and I were fighting, and he brought up breaking up.
00:05I gave him a cold laugh.
00:06Between the two of you, you're the dramatic one.
00:08Leo's face cracked instantly.
00:10He lost it, demanding to know who the other one was.
00:13I made it up on the spot.
00:14The ice hockey team captain.
00:15Six foot one, hot long legs, better than you in every category.
00:18Next second, the guy next to us in the gray hoodie, who'd been eating up the drama the
00:21whole ride, pulled out his wireless earbuds, cleared his throat softly.
00:25Small correction, I'm six foot three.
00:27Someone kill me.
00:27I trash talked a ghost, and the actual guy heard the whole thing.
00:31Friday, after class.
00:33On the campus shuttle, my boyfriend Leo and I were fighting, and he brought up breaking
00:36up.
00:37Half the bus, students with their headphones in pretending not to listen, were absolutely
00:41feasting on our drama.
00:42Mia, can you not be so paranoid?
00:44Chloe is just a really close friend.
00:46No seats left.
00:46We were standing in the aisle.
00:48Leo had one hand shoved in his pocket, looking annoyed as hell.
00:51Friend?
00:52What kind of just friends keep a daily chat streak with matching emojis and play co-op games
00:56together with matching IDs?
00:57If I hadn't just seen Chloe post her gaming screenshots on her social media story, I never would have
01:02known Leo's in-game username was literally paired with hers.
01:05Text me goodnight first, then stays up till 3 a.m.
01:08queuing ranked matches with his bro.
01:10You don't even play.
01:10What's the problem if I do it with her?
01:12Chloe is like a sister to me.
01:13What am I supposed to explain?
01:15A matching username means nothing.
01:17Are you delusional or just insecure?
01:19Stop being crazy.
01:20Leo frowned, giving me that whole, I'm so exhausted by you look.
01:23I was so mad, I almost tipped backward.
01:25I wanted to slap him across the face.
01:27I raised my hand, and right then, the shuttle driver slammed on the brakes.
01:31My slap never landed.
01:32Instead, I lost my balance and stumbled hard toward the guy sitting next to us.
01:36Leo didn't even reach out to catch me.
01:37I braced for impact, my face stopping inches away from the stranger's.
01:41We were so close, we almost kissed.
01:43He had his wireless earbuds in.
01:44We locked eyes for a brief second, before he simply turned his head away.
01:47The second I got my balance back, Leo started up again.
01:50If that's really how you see it, there's nothing I can do.
01:53I think we need some space.
01:54Take a break.
01:55Your call.
01:55The moment he said it, I stopped being angry.
01:58Fine, break up.
01:59There are a million hotter guys on campus.
02:01Sure, let's break up between the two of you.
02:03You're the dramatic one.
02:04What?
02:04Leo froze for a second.
02:06Then it clicked, and his face went absolutely feral.
02:08Mia!
02:09One boyfriend isn't enough for you?
02:10You've got some other guy on the side?
