01:13our class president everyone knew they were sworn enemies but the second they
01:19locked eyes Harper's heart rate shot to 180 Ethan hit 182 total chaos they glared at

01:43Harper I stared at the screen then just typed okay all summer I dreaded telling
01:48him I was leaving now I don't have to the party was loud the guys shoved Ethan and
01:55Harper into the middle of the room chanting I put my phone down and looked up
02:00these two supposedly despised each other but both were flushed Ethan pulled
02:05Harper in warning in his voice back off guys it hasn't even been a day Harper turned bright red
02:13it's just a fake date two months and we're done yo Ethan you're with Harper now so what
02:19about Mia she hit 160 just below YouTube every single person turned to me Ethan barely glanced at
02:25me his voice flat we're just friends I'm not into her just friends two words to wipe out our
02:31entire history I was a joke to them okay oh my god they grew up together and he
02:37feels absolutely nothing a basic girl obsessing over the golden boy she is so
02:42delusional I'd been hearing this crap for three years I couldn't hide my feelings
02:47the whole school knew I liked him but Ethan he always kept his distance at school he
02:56pretended I didn't even exist whenever people made jokes about us he didn't even
03:01bat an eye off campus he'd hold my hand walking me home but in the alley he'd pin
03:06me to the wall and kiss me when I was upset he'd pull me in and soothe me Mia
03:12Carter likes Ethan Shaw that was the school's favorite joke Ethan Shaw is Mia
03:17Carter's boyfriend that was my secret
03:24as the room laughed I started taking shots one after another my phone buzzed again
03:30Ethan you can't hold your liquor stop drinking cut it out I looked right at him
03:35he stood there taking Harper's shots one arm wrapped around her the whole time his
03:40feelings for her he wasn't hiding them anymore the party wrapped up around 1 a.m. it
03:47was pouring rain outside right in front of everyone Ethan offered to walk Harper home
03:52he ripped my umbrella right out of my hand Mia neither of us brought an umbrella we're gonna take
03:59this one you can just get a ride from someone else be safe Mia I'll give it back tomorrow Ethan
04:04pulled her away don't let it go to your head Harper it's a fake date two months and we're done
04:10fine by me I seriously can't stand you anyway they kept bickering as they walked into the rain
04:15disappearing into the dark but I noticed something Ethan tilted the entire umbrella over Harper
04:21his own shoulder was getting completely soaked everyone else cleared out one by one not a single
04:28person asked how I was getting home I stood there as rain mixed with my tears Ethan knew I didn't
04:34have
04:34any other friends in that group he knew nobody was going to offer me a ride he took my umbrella
04:40left
04:41me stranded we swore we'd go public after graduation instead I got dumped and he ended up with someone
04:48else my phone rang it was my mom calling from Paris Mia if you really want to you can stay
04:54in the
04:54States for college we trust Ethan if you two are together your dad and I won't stop you I squeezed
05:00my
05:00eyes shut mom I've made up my mind you can start the paperwork for me to study abroad I got
05:07home
05:08soaked to the bone my phone buzzed Ethan never posted on social media but he just uploaded a picture
05:14caption meet my girlfriend at Harper Wells in the photo his arm was wrapped around her he was smiling
05:21like he had the whole world Harper had her arms crossed glaring at him fierce but adorable the comments
05:27were blowing up called it three years ago enemies to lover is real Ethan went public so fast his
05:35childhood biddy must be sobbing right now why would she cry besides daddy's money what does she even have
05:42further down someone dug up an awful picture of me from last year's track meet they turned it into a
05:47meme I locked my screen collapsed onto the couch not good enough that phrase had haunted me since the
05:54day I met Ethan he was the golden boy the best at everything I was ordinary practically invisible at
06:01school he never came near me but whenever someone messed with me he was the first to show up once
06:07he
06:07fought a whole group of guys to protect me stop it he almost got suspended after that we started dating
06:15in
06:15the secret I actually thought I was special to him
06:22senior year Harper transferred in gorgeous and smart she instantly took his spot at the top he wasn't having it
06:32he
06:33started picking fights with her
06:37fighting over grades over competitions the loser had to do what the winner said
06:43the whole school shifted Ethan always complained loudly about it I had never seen him like that later I figured
06:53it out that's what a
06:54teenage boy looks like when he really likes someone picking fights was just to get her attention when she gave
07:02a speech his eyes never left her
07:05when she had cramps he secretly brought her painkillers and chocolate when she failed a test
07:11he pushed her to study harder I was truly scared after our first midterms Harper's rank dropped way down
07:22Ethan got first place but he didn't brag this time
07:27he cancelled our dates spent all his free time tutoring Harper for months before finals I barely saw
07:34him I begged him to let me tag along Ethan patted my head Mia you can't keep up just study
07:41at home
07:41we'll go public after graduation you can't keep up he drew a hard line right between us but the words
07:47go
07:47public kept me waiting like a fool nothing else mattered as long as he came back to me but today
07:54it hit me the kids at school weren't the only ones looking down on me Ethan was one of them
08:03I cried myself to sleep on the couch when I woke up the rain had stopped the doorbell rang
08:08I opened it Ethan stood there his tone impatient I deleted those nasty comments that post was fake
08:15my mom asked you to come over for dinner let's go Mia can you believe it this kid has been
08:20hiding his
08:21girlfriend for this long thanks for the umbrella Ethan left in such a hurry last night he forgot to

08:38what about you Harper Columbia no way I'm losing to you Mia where did you apply Mia's grades are
08:44average Columbia might be a stretch but she can pick a safety school in the same city before we
08:51broke up that was exactly my plan but not anymore I'll think about it later Ethan's face darkened my
08:58phone buzzed under the table I didn't text back after dinner Linda gave Ethan some cash Harper
09:04called out to me come along we're all friends here you coming you guys go ahead I'm not feeling very
09:11well he looked relieved grabbed Harper's hand and walked out maybe I had lost this game before it

09:26the amusement park the comment section was flooded with hearts then he posted something else suddenly I

14:52it was for me I didn't find out what happened at the party until much later the room went completely
15:00quiet everyone was waiting for Ethan's answer Harper looked up at him her cheeks burning she let go of
15:06all her pride Ethan said nothing the silence dragged on Harper I'm sorry the fake dating ends here let's call
15:14it off early everyone froze a tear slipped down her face why I can't say yes to you did you

15:23like me Ethan looked down no response Harper's expression shifted is it because of Mia Carter at the sound of
15:32my
15:32name I knew it you love her don't you the entire room held its breath Ethan clenched his fists both
15:41hands
15:41were shaking he wanted to deny it but this time he couldn't get the words out I love her I
15:48love Mia Carter
15:50I always have I was attracted to you sure but Mia she became part of my life a long time
15:57ago

16:07behind her the second Harper walked out Ethan texted me on iMessage the message turned green
16:16not delivered he hit resend not delivered again he called 10 times 15 times straight to voicemail
16:23texts calls all social media I blocked him on everything he drove to my house it was pitch black
16:30and completely empty he sat on the porch typing non-stop from then on he texted me every single
16:36day on the first day of college Ethan went straight to that no-name university in New York
16:42hello may I ask if there is a new student named Mia registered had no student by that name he
16:48flipped
16:48through the freshman directory from a disease no Mia Carter I never enrolled there years later his mom
16:55filled in the blanks he completely broke down tried everything to find me finally a teacher told him
17:01I went to Paris Mia said stop calling she doesn't want to see you Ethan I watched you grow up
17:06I always
17:08thought you were a good kid but this time you really broke her if you care about her let her
17:12go Linda
17:13told me he hung up the phone and he cried for the very first time
17:22when I first got here I couldn't understand anything every lecture sounded like noise to me
17:29I ordered food in the dining hall by pointing through the glass but it slowly got better
17:34my French improved every day I started raising my hand in class the first time I nailed a full
17:41presentation the whole room applauded I never felt that way back in my hometown back home I was just the
17:46invisible nobody the basic girl who wasn't nearly good enough for Ethan standing next to Ethan I
17:51disappeared next to him I faded into the background it took me a long time to realize I was never
17:56as
17:56average as they said Mia I came looking for you I'm standing right outside your campus just see me
18:04one last time I never thought he'd actually fly halfway across the world for me two months apart he
18:16looked completely different and exactly the same I'm sorry I know it's too late but I need you to
18:22hear it I'm in love with you a confession that came way too late if he had said this before
18:29we
18:29broke up it might have actually worked but we were done okay I hear you now what come back no
18:42more
18:42breaks the second we get back we go public these past two months I've missed you every single day

18:56the whole
18:57world I meant nothing you made me wait for three years know how that felt hearing I'm not into her
19:05broke me I pushed myself to the lip trying to reach you and you called it a fleek you never
19:10cared

19:17far

19:27back he emailed me every single day it's raining in New York do you have your umbrella today is our
19:33anniversary I ordered cake and flowers I never replied to a single one he sent a massive email
19:41saying how much he regretted everything saying he finally made up for every public denial on Instagram
19:48online in front of everyone claiming me as his girlfriend the class group chat had 99 plus
19:54notifications someone took a screenshot of his Instagram post an old picture of us he wrote Mia
20:00Carter I owe you a public apology you spent years chasing me now it's my turn I'll wait if you
20:06ever
20:06look back I'll be here the comments were blowing up Ethan replied to every single one with the exact same
20:13sentence I like Mia Carter I always have three years later he finally said it in front of the whole
20:18world but it
20:20was way too late time flew by I truly came into my own in Paris that relationship was like a
20:28violent summer storm the rain
20:29stopped and it was over sometimes I still dreamed about home waking up still stung a little but only sometimes
20:37I started
20:38dressing for me and got asked out by quite a few guys I stayed in the top three of my
20:45major a professor even asked me to be his research
20:47assistant I made a solid group of friends we traveled every single break on my birthday my friend grabbed my
20:55hand Mia you are incredible you deserve the world I broke down and hugged her because no one had ever
21:02said that to me before it took me a long time to tell myself Mia Carter you are brilliant and
21:09you are more
21:10than enough in my final year I applied for my masters when the email dropped my hands shook it I
21:15saw it and broke
21:16down all those years of being ignored being laughed at being told I wasn't good enough all of it just
21:21gone before the semester I flew home with my parents three years later I was standing in Ethan's house
21:29again his parents were exactly the same Linda fussed at me for disappearing saying she was worried sick
21:34she said if she had known Ethan and I were together she never would have pushed Harper onto him she
21:39told
21:40me Ethan never moved on all through college no girlfriends none after taking over the family
21:45business either we talked for a long time that afternoon when I walked out of his house it was
21:50raining I was digging in my bag for cover when an umbrella blocked the rain Ethan three years he
21:55looked exactly the same except for something quiet behind his eyes he had rushed back so fast his tie
22:01I was crooked he insisted on walking me back our houses were barely a minute apart but he insisted a
22:07path we
22:07had walked a million times before
22:14congratulations on the master's program
22:17thanks a one minute walk it took us ten neither of us said a word right by my front door
22:23he called my name
22:24Mia Carter he looked at me his eyes heavy with something I couldn't even name
22:29I'm sorry and I'm going to keep waiting I knew he wouldn't back down stop waiting Ethan I've let
22:37it go it's time for you to move on too I said my last words and shut the door through
22:42the door I
22:43heard him sobbing choked muffled by the rain but my life it would never be trapped in that storm again
