ALLURⵊNG

I should move to a brand new city
And teach myself how to die.

-brand new city, mitski.

I check my phone, no new messages from
Alhaitham? Expected, but I'm quite disappointed.

I sigh. I cannot give up, I will not take this L.
I'll make sure I get the W, instead of the L.
I will win Alhaitham over. It's embarrassing to admit, but Layla has raised my spirits greatly.

But little did y/n know, she had already won his heart.

I feel a wave of euphoria and determination wash over me. I pull out my phone and text Alhaitham.

Alhaitham's pov
I check my phone, no new messages from the number that's recently texted me. How odd, I seem to find myself almost.. missing their texts?

That can't be possible I've grown fond of this person. I don't do such things.

I try to reassure myself it's fine, perhaps they were busy.

"Killjoy! What's got you so tense?" Kaveh laughs at the sight in front of him.

"Mind your own buisness, Kaveh." I spout. Glaring daggers at Kaveh.

"Is that so? Then what's that notification from your phone?" Kaveh tries to get a glimpse of the notification, but I quickly hide my phone.

"Don't pry in buisness Kaveh, you don't see me asking why you brought a girl home when I wasn't here." I say sternly, crossing my arms.

Kaveh, due to being embarrassed steps down.
"You won this one I guess." He huffs and crosses his arms, averting his eyes to look anywhere but me. What a child.

I chuckle at his actions. And with that, I slam my laptop shut, checking my notifications from my phone.

I can't help but crack a small smile at who sent me a text, y/n. Obviously she didn't say who she was, but it's quite obvious.
