In the aftermath of Gina's breakup with Fred over his girl best friend, Aria, the atmosphere in the math class was thick with tension. Gina sat at the back, her gaze fixed on Fred's vacant seat, her mind preoccupied with questions about his whereabouts.
As if answering her unspoken inquiry, Fred entered the classroom, but to Gina's surprise, his eyes were puffy and red. When their eyes met, a mixture of emotions flashed through him, and he quickly looked away. Gina couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief at his presence.
''Hey, Fred!'' greeted his best friend, Aaron, as Fred took his seat, nodding in acknowledgment. Seated beside him was Aria, who couldn't resist smirking. Her attempt to display affection, however, was met with resistance.
Fred, with a sudden burst of strength, untangled his hands from Aria's, pushed her away, and declared loudly, ''Go the heck away. We broke up because of you. Don't talk to me.'' Aria, taken aback, sought refuge by requesting to go to the toilet.
With his head on the desk, Fred looked at Gina, tears glistening in his eyes. In a soft whisper, he uttered, ''I'm so sorry. I love you,'' a single tear streaming down his cheek, conveying the depth of his emotions. The classroom witnessed a tangled web of emotions, leaving everyone to navigate the aftermath of heartbreak and regret.
