00:21To be continued...
00:30Hey, didn't Ryan tell you about tonight's scrimmage?
00:32Everyone in the dorm turned to look at me.
00:33Ryan was handsome, smart, and the captain of the hockey team.
00:36Girls were always chasing after him.
00:38Why would he tell me?
00:39Aren't you too close?
00:40I thought he'd definitely ask you to come watch.
00:42She wasn't wrong.
00:43Our families had been neighbors for years, and we went to the same high school.
00:46I ever confessed to Ryan, but...
00:48Ryan, will you go out with me?
00:50Emma, I don't date in high school.
00:52Let's wait until college.
00:54So I waited until I got into the same college as him.
00:56But Ryan was still exactly the same.
00:58Beautiful girls were always around him.
01:01He never dated any of them, but called them friends.
01:03Little by little, I realized the truth.
01:05I was just one more girl in that long list of friends.
01:09We have a scrimmage today.
01:10Come watch with me.
01:11I couldn't really say no.
01:13As long as Ryan was there, I still wanted to see him play.
01:16The moment we walked into the hockey rink, one of his teammates spotted me.
01:20Hey Ryan, your little fangirl is here again.
01:22Why are you here?
01:23My heart sank.
01:24Is seeing me really that bad?
01:26Madison hurried over to him.
01:27Ryan, I asked her to come with me.
01:28You only invited me, but I didn't want to sit here by myself.
01:31She loved acting cute around Ryan, showing off their special relationship.
01:34She had been invited.
01:35It was me who never should have been there.
01:39The scrimmage started soon after.
01:41Madison excitedly cheered for him.
01:43Ryan!
01:44Ryan looked over at our seats quite a few times.
01:47Look, Ryan keeps looking at me.
01:49I'm worried it will affect his game.
01:51She had nothing to worry about.
01:52Ryan was already playing terribly.
01:54The other team was too strong.
01:56Their offense and passing were way better than Ryan's team.
01:59During the first intermission, Madison walked over with a bottle of water for Ryan.
02:04Looking at me, Ryan took it without a word.
02:06A few guys started talking about the players from the other team.
02:09Number seven is insane.
02:12His name's Logan, right?
02:13I heard he's single.
02:15We've got plenty of cute girls around here.
02:17We should find one to flirt with him.
02:19Let Emma go.
02:22Are you stupid?
02:24Don't you know Emma likes Ryan?
02:26Even better.
02:27She can be with him, but still help us.
02:29Once a guy gets a girlfriend, he might not have that much energy left on the ice.
02:34They made dirty jokes about me like I wasn't even there.
02:37But Ryan just stayed silent the whole time.
02:39Ryan, what do you think about this idea?
02:44Yeah, sounds good.
02:45Hearing his answer, the anger I felt suddenly disappeared.
02:48I smiled.
02:50Sure, I will go try.
02:52I actually think he looks pretty cool on the ice.
02:54I grabbed a bottle of water and headed toward the other team's bench.
02:57Logan was joking around with his teammates.
02:59I gently tapped him on the shoulder with the water bottle.
03:02Hi, do you want some water?
03:05The guys noticed me.
03:06Everyone turned to look.
03:07I immediately blushed.
03:08Up close.
03:09I realized Logan wasn't just amazing on the ice.
03:11He was seriously handsome, too.
03:13Well, Logan, here's another one.
03:14She's about to get rej-
03:15Logan smiled and took the bottle from my hand.
03:17Our fingers accidentally touched.
03:19I quickly pulled my hand back.
03:20Thanks.
03:21You're welcome.
03:22Wait, you brought me water, but you're cheering for Ryan?
03:25The buzzer sounded just then.
03:26The first intermission was over.
03:28Logan skated back onto the ice, leaving his spot on the seat empty.
03:32Come on, sit here.
03:33His friend warmly invited me.
03:35I am Jake.
03:36What is your name?
03:37You're the first girl who's ever brought Logan water and actually gotten him to take it.
03:41The first one?
03:42That was lucky.
03:43At least I did not get rejected and feel even worse.
03:46Logan had played two straight periods and no one had taken his place.
03:50Isn't he tired?
03:52Logan never runs out of energy.
03:54He could probably play another full game right after this.
03:57I laughed at his joke and the awkward feeling of sitting there went away.
04:02Go.
04:02Change with me for the third period.
04:04Logan, I'm tired.
04:05Your mouth keeps talking.
04:06You look totally fine.
04:07Go on.
04:08What are you guys talking about?
04:09Why are you laughing so happily?
04:10I was a little surprised.
04:11He could see that clearly while playing on the ice.
04:13You've got great eyesight?
04:14Of course.
04:15That's why I never miss.
04:16The outcome came as no surprise.
04:19Ryan looked extremely angry.
04:24Aren't you going back yet?
04:26Is it that fun to sit here?
04:28My friends are over there.
04:29I will go now.
04:31When I saw Madison, she could not wait to ask me.
04:33Emma, did you know Logan before?
04:35We just met.
04:36See, Emma's always been popular with guys I could never compete with her.
04:39She sounded so fake.
04:42Let's grab some food.
04:43Emma, I am going with them.
04:44You should walk back by yourself.
04:46Okay.
04:47You're coming too.
04:49If this were before, I would be so happy if Ryan asked me to.
04:53But today, I really wasn't in the mood to watch him flirt with another girl.
04:57No, I am tired.
04:59Hey, didn't you always want to try that place?
05:02When that restaurant first opened, I sent him a picture and asked him to go with me.
05:07But he always said he was too busy.
05:09Always off with his new friends.
05:14It's been too long.
05:16I don't want to eat there anymore.
05:20After taking a shower, I lay in bed and checked my feed.
05:25I saw a post Ryan made five minutes ago.
05:27Lost the game.
05:29Won her.
05:29The picture was of him and Madison.
05:31For so many years, I felt sad whenever I saw Ryan with another girl.
05:35But seeing him with someone else now, I suddenly felt free.
05:38It was good.
05:39As a friend, I should wish him well.
05:42Madison came back, holding two bags of food.
05:45Girls, I brought food.
05:46Ryan bought it.
05:47The other two roommates hurried over.
05:49Ryan really treats you differently.
05:51I just saw his post.
05:54Are you too official now?
05:59I guess the secret's out.
06:01Seeing that I did not move for a long time, she walked over to my bed.
06:06Emma, don't you want to eat some?
06:08Thanks, but I am not hungry.
06:10That is too bad.
06:11I bought this especially for you.
06:12Then I received a text from Ryan.
06:14I asked someone to bring you food.
06:16Did you eat?
06:17Ryan was always like this.
06:19In high school, he gave me the gifts other girls sent him,
06:22then told me he'd bought it just for me.
06:23During the school art show, he gave flowers to another girl,
06:26but waited for me to walk me home.
06:28At graduation, he went on a trip with a girl I hated the most.
06:31I did not talk to him for the whole summer because of that.
06:36But after that, he also came to my house before college started.
06:41Helped me pack my things.
06:42He would always hurt me first, then do something nice for me.
06:45And every time, I forgave him.
06:48I kept making excuses for him.
06:50It wasn't his fault that girls liked him.
06:52But I was never different.
06:53He just kept stringing me along.
06:56Emma, it is time to wake up.
07:00When I got to class, I received messages from Ryan and Madison.
07:06I'm skipping class today.
07:08Tell the professor I'm sick.
07:10Emma, Ryan, and I are out on a date.
07:11Help us fool the professor.
07:13I was the only one feeling miserable.
07:15I angrily typed back,
07:17Okay.
07:20What a coincidence.
07:22He was in this class, too?
07:25Can I sit here?
07:27I nodded and agreed.
07:31Thanks for the water yesterday.
07:33My heart jumped.
07:39Give me your number.
07:40I looked up, only to find Ryan and Madison in the doorway staring at us in shock.
07:46But they were just passing by and hadn't noticed us.
07:52I looked at Logan with confusion.
07:54We can save each other a seat next time.
07:57I looked around the half-empty classroom.
08:00Save seats?
08:01There were plenty of them.
08:02It was film appreciation, and today's movie was...
08:04I cried way too easily during movies,
08:07so I buried myself in my phone instead.
08:10Logan noticed it.
08:12Avoiding the movie because you'll cry.
08:16I smile awkwardly.
08:18Go ahead.
08:19I came prepared.
08:20Of course, the professor called on me anyway, making the whole class laugh.
08:27After class, Logan was still outside scrolling on his phone.
08:31You are still here?
08:34I am waiting for you.
08:36As we walked back together, I couldn't stop wondering.
08:39Was he always this nice?
08:41An e-scooter suddenly shot out of the hallway.
08:44Logan yanked me toward him.
08:47The writer swerved to avoid me and clipped Logan's knee instead.
08:51His knee immediately turned red.
08:54Are you okay?
08:55Should we go to urgent care?
08:56By the time we got there, it'd probably be healed.
08:58I spotted the boba shop we'd just passed.
09:02Wait here.
09:03I came back with two bobas and a bag of ice.
09:05Logan was still sitting exactly where I'd left him.
09:09I thought you'd abandoned me.
09:12Put this on your knee.
09:14The season's about to start.
09:16You can't get hurt because of me.
09:18You care more about my leg than I do.
09:22I didn't know what flavor you liked, so I got the same one as mine.
09:27Emma, has anyone ever told you you're really cute?
09:29I nodded automatically.
09:31Then my face slowly burned.
09:33After a brief silence, he called my name again.
09:35Emma.
09:36Yeah?
09:37He looked really handsome.
09:39I was really happy when you brought me water.
09:41Come cheer for me again at the next game.
09:44Logan carried the boba and walked into the dorm.
09:50Logan, you bought boba.
09:51Is it for me?
09:52Dream on.
09:57Logan pinned our chat to the top and sent me a picture.
10:00It was the hockey schedule.
10:02He waited for me after class, walked me home, invited me to his game.
10:06Wasn't that a little too romantic?
10:08Did he actually like me?
10:10No.
10:10We'd only known each other a few days.
10:13Maybe he was just being nice.
10:15That night, Logan texted me.
10:18Want to play a game?
10:21Don't you have practice?
10:23Don't you have practice?
10:24I can multitask.
10:25Your department's going to be an easy win.
10:28Wow.
10:29Confident, aren't you?
10:31So, you in?
10:33I'm in.
10:36Logan carried us to another easy win.
10:39Just as the match ended, Madison stormed into the room and yanked my headphones off.
10:43What's wrong with you?
10:45Emma, did you block Ryan because you're jealous?
10:47I know you liked him, but this is getting pathetic.
10:50Done with your date already?
10:51Did Ryan have another girl waiting?
10:53You're just jealous!
10:54Before I could answer, Logan's voice suddenly came through my speakers.
10:57Emma, are you okay?
10:58Madison froze.
11:00So that's why you've stopped chasing Ryan.
11:02You got Logan instead.
11:03He rejects every girl who adds him online.
11:05Emma, what tricks did you use to attract him so quickly?
11:08Does he know our hockey team asked you to flirt with him so he'd go easy on us?
11:12That's a lie.
11:14I pulled up a video and shoved my phone in her face.
11:17It was Ryan singing karaoke with another girl.
11:20Maybe worry about Ryan instead.
11:22Looks like he's already auditioning your replacement.
11:30Madison angrily went to the balcony to call Ryan.
11:37Logan didn't text me after what Madison said.
11:39I kept typing and deleting my explanation.
11:43Then a message popped up.
11:44Emma, are you writing an epee in my chat?
11:46I finally hit send.
11:48I'm sorry.
11:48The guys on our team joked about us, so that's why I brought you water.
11:51But I never wanted to throw you off like Madison said.
11:54I honestly wanted you to crush them.
11:55Then I should thank them.
11:57Thank them for what?
11:57For giving me a chance to meet you.
11:59Logan, do you like me?
12:01The second I sent it, I regretted it.
12:03What if I'd completely misunderstood him?
12:05Before I could panic any longer, my phone rang.
12:08Logan was calling.
12:09I almost dropped my phone before answering.
12:11I want you to hear it from me.
12:14Yes, Emma, I like you.
12:16It was true.
12:17A few days later, it was time for the next scrimmage.
12:20Carrying a bag of drinks, I walked past Ryan's bench.
12:23Wow, someone's working hard.
12:25People might think you're their team mom.
12:27Ryan isn't even going to notice you.
12:28Hey, Emma, here for Ryan again?
12:30You didn't have to.
12:32If Ryan doesn't want them, we'll take them.
12:34Did they seriously think I bought these for them?
12:36Emma.
12:37Logan walked quickly towards me.
12:41She is with me.
12:43I am taking her now.
12:47Logan pulled me toward their team's bench.
12:51The students all started whispering to each other when they saw this.
12:58Logan's teammates saw us coming.
13:01And they all showed teasing smiles.
13:06I felt so embarrassed.
13:09I thought you guys probably already had water, so I bought some sports drinks for everyone.
13:16That must have been heavy.
13:18I only asked you to bring me water.
13:20Not the whole team.
13:23You are the most special one.
13:25See?
13:26Yours is bigger.
13:28Jake, who just took a sip of water, sprayed it all out.
13:31Everyone tried hard not to laugh out loud.
13:33Wait, what was everyone thinking?
13:35I meant the big bottle version.
13:37Logan's face turned completely red instantly.
13:40The scrimmage started, and both teams skated towards center ice.
13:44But Logan suddenly shouted loudly towards my direction.
13:46Emma, watch how I crush their defense!
13:48The crowd instantly erupted in cheers and started teasing us.
13:52My heart stopped for a short second, and then beat fast.
13:57I looked at the boy on the ice.
13:59Right now, he was gliding across the ice, shining like a star.
14:02Both teams played this scrimmage extremely hard.
14:04Probably angered by the words at the start, Logan faced a lot of pressure from Ryan's team.
14:09Whenever Logan got the puck, Ryan's team hit him hard.
14:12Especially Ryan.
14:13Even when he was a few strides away, he'd rush over to check Logan.
14:16But Logan kept his composure.
14:18Logan had a great sense of the game.
14:20When he couldn't find an opening, he moved the puck to a teammate.
14:23When the middle was clogged, he carried the puck wide and looked for another opening.
14:27He was still the most dangerous player on the ice.
14:30His team also kept a comfortable lead throughout the game.
14:32Looking at Ryan's team, they grew more and more aggressive.
14:35Making more and more mistakes.
14:39Ryan was even ejected after being handed a game misconduct.
14:43When Logan took the final shot and buried the puck in the net, the whistle blew.
14:47The home crowd cheered loudly.
14:50Logan's team won.
14:52During the post-game handshake line, I did not know what Logan said to Ryan's team.
14:56It made Ryan so angry that he threw the water bottle in his hand onto the ground.
15:01What did you say to them?
15:03Logan leaned into my ear and whispered,
15:04I told him I'd already gone easy on them because my girlfriend asked me to.
15:08Otherwise, they would have lost by even more.
15:11That was brutal, but I did not ask him to let them win.
15:14And wait, I was not his girlfriend yet either.
15:16You're getting really good at making things up.
15:18Logan looked completely defensive of me.
15:20They had it coming.
15:20I wanted to get under their skin.
15:22Childish.
15:23You haven't praised me yet.
15:24So, did I play well today?
15:26Logan looked at me like a golden retriever waiting for praise.
15:29Yeah, you were amazing today.
15:31The team wanted to celebrate the win and insisted on dragging me along for a late night bite.
15:37Emma, if we didn't drink the drinks you bought us today, we wouldn't have played so well.
15:40Yeah, the second you showed up, Logan turned into a beast.
15:43He totally played better than usual.
15:45You're our lucky goddess.
15:46You've got to come.
15:47Worried I would feel embarrassed, they kept coming up with excuses to make me feel included,
15:50even though the reasons were silly.
15:52If you want to go, come with us.
15:53It's that new wing place near campus not far.
15:55If you are tired and don't want to go, I will walk you back first.
15:59I'll go.
16:01I was really hungry too.
16:03At this hour, the place was packed with people.
16:11A group of hockey players in matching jerseys walked past us.
16:16Jake saw them.
16:17Aren't these the guys who just lost to us?
16:22Small world.
16:24It was the same guys from Ryan's team.
16:26One of Ryan's friends mocked me.
16:28Wow, Emma.
16:29You've already got yourself a new guy?
16:30Logan's expression darkened instantly.
16:32Watch your mouth, or you'll lose more than the game today.
16:35The guy shut his mouth out of fear.
16:37They only knew how to pick on people weaker than them.
16:40Just in time, the owner brought our food out.
16:43Scoot over, guys.
16:44There are seats right here.
16:45I had no mood to care about those guys.
16:47So I grabbed a chicken wing and put it in my mouth.
16:49Madison pulled Ryan's sleeve.
16:51Ryan?
16:52I don't want to eat this.
16:53It looks kind of gross.
16:55Wait, how high class do you expect it to be?
16:57I saw the owner's face darken, so I immediately spoke up to support him.
17:00This is so good.
17:01Could you cook our wings a little longer?
17:03Thanks.
17:03You got it.
17:04Our wings are the best.
17:05Just wait till you try them.
17:06Logan shook his head and smiled, and picked up the drink to fill my cup.
17:09Careful.
17:10It's hot.
17:11Ryan pushed Madison's hand away, and sat straight down at the next table.
17:14We are eating here.
17:17My treat today.
17:26Madison stamped her feet with anger, but she still followed him.
17:30Hey, she doesn't think it was dirty now.
17:34Everyone ate and talked, and the atmosphere became very warm.
17:38Wait.
17:39I thought you looked familiar, the first time I saw you.
17:42Don't we take film studies class together?
17:44Yes.
17:45Seeing him struggle to think, I finished the words for him.
17:48Right, right.
17:49That's it.
17:50No wonder Logan always shows up, even though attendance doesn't count.
17:53Logan shoved a chicken wing into Jake's mouth.
17:55Eat your food.
17:57Logan pulled his hand back and wiped it with a tissue.
18:01He slid a plate of boneless wings in front of me.
18:05Seeing my eyes go wide, he held up both hands.
18:07Don't worry.
18:08It is clean.
18:09I wore gloves when I debended them.
18:12Is that what I am worried about?
18:14Ryan suddenly walked over.
18:17Emma, I'll walk you back when we're done.
18:20I don't like you walking around this late with a bunch of guys.
18:26What if some guy tries something?
18:31If your parents knew you were out this late, they'd worry too.
18:44Ryan, maybe worry about your own table first.
18:47I looked at him like he was an idiot.
18:50Ryan, what's wrong with you?
18:52I'm just grabbing food with friends near campus at 8.30 p.m.
18:56What exactly are my parents supposed to worry about?
18:59That I'll gain weight?
19:00Ryan and his table finished quickly and left.
19:02As Madison walked past, she shot me a hard glare.
19:05When we finished eating and got ready to leave, Jake suddenly slapped his forehead.
19:11I just remembered I ran out of shampoo.
19:13I need to go to the store across the street to buy some.
19:16Oh, right.
19:17I ran out of toothpaste too.
19:19What a coincidence.
19:20We don't have bottled water in the dorm either.
19:22Let's buy some together.
19:23In the end, only Logan and I were left walking side by side.
19:27Seriously, their excuses really sucked.
19:28The campus store had all those things, and it was right on their way back to the guy's dorm.
19:32A strange, quiet tension settled between us.
19:35I broke the silence first.
19:36Logan, why do you like me?
19:39Just because I gave you water?
19:40He was handsome and great at hockey.
19:42Plenty of girls gave him water.
19:44So why me?
19:47Logan stopped walking.
19:50The first time I saw you in movie appreciation, I thought, this girl is interesting.
19:55You actually cried during the movie.
19:57Your eyes were all red, and you looked like a little rabbit.
20:01Then the professor called on you.
20:03You said the dog in the movie was cute, but I thought you were even cuter.
20:07Later, I saw you around the rink a lot.
20:10Every time I saw you, I ran even harder.
20:14But it turned out you were there to watch someone else.
20:17I didn't know who it was then.
20:19I just thought you had terrible taste in guys.
20:22None of them were as good-looking as me.
20:24Thank God you came to give me water during the scrimmage.
20:27That is when I knew I finally had my chance.
20:30Logan looked at me with those deep eyes, and his cheeks slowly turned pink.
20:33Logan, you're blushing.
20:35I'm not blushing.
20:39Logan walked me back to my dorm.
20:41Maybe because I was in such a good mood.
20:43I didn't even feel tired after climbing five flights of stairs.
20:46Until I received a phone call from Ryan.
20:49Emma, come down.
20:51He used that bossy tone, just like always.
20:53No.
20:55If you don't come down, I'll keep shouting your name until you do.
20:59Crazy guy, I gave in.
21:02As soon as I came downstairs, Ryan grabbed my wrist and pulled me aside.
21:07I tried to shake him off, but he held on tighter.
21:09Let go of me.
21:12He dragged me to a quiet corner before finally letting go.
21:15Are you with Logan?
21:17Ryan's attitude was very strong, and his voice was full of questions.
21:21You blocked me, then started getting close to Logan just to make me jealous.
21:26Emma, you are getting good at this.
21:29Now you've learned to play hard to get.
21:30I let out a bitter laugh.
21:32Do you think everyone plays games the way you do?
21:35Emma, you got what you wanted.
21:37Let's be together.
21:38What did you say?
21:39I suspected something was wrong with my ears.
21:41I said let's be together.
21:43Then what about Madison?
21:45What does she have to do with this?
21:46Oh, that post?
21:48We played Truth or Dare at dinner that day, and I lost.
21:51I just posted it randomly.
21:52On in casual sentence cleared up his relationship with Madison.
21:56Emma, isn't this what you've wanted all these years?
21:59But Ryan, I really don't like you anymore.
22:10Is it because of Logan?
22:12You guys only met a few days ago.
22:15Do you know what kind of person he is?
22:17What's time got to do with it?
22:19We've known each other for years, and I only just saw your true colors.
22:25Ryan, I liked you in high school,
22:27because you stood up to those guys from the next class when they were talking trash.
22:31But now, they're jokes.
22:34When your teammates make me the butt of their jokes,
22:37you don't even stand up for me.
22:39Not even as a friend.
22:41A man who doesn't respect women isn't worth loving.
22:44Until I left, Ryan was still frozen in place.
22:46He looked really sad, but I felt a sense of relief.
22:50Letting go could take years, or just one second.
22:53I opened my phone.
22:55There were several texts, all from Logan.
22:58I'm back at the dorm.
23:02No way.
23:03Did you disappear while walking up the stairs?
23:06Logan.
23:07Let's hang out this Saturday.
23:09Just us.
23:10Okay.
23:11See, the person who likes you will give you the response you want immediately.
23:15I think Saturday will be a beautiful day.
23:19I had a feeling Logan was about to confess to me,
23:22because a confessing video he'd liked had somehow popped up on my feed.
23:25And while we were chatting, he casually asked what my favorite flowers were.
23:28I couldn't help feeling excited, and a little nervous.
23:31Just in case, I made sure to wear makeup every time we went out together.
23:35But I still didn't see it coming.
23:36For the evening class, Logan said he had something to do.
23:39The movie playing this time was Pride and Prejudice.
23:41When Darcy walked out of the morning mist in the movie,
23:44all the lights in the classroom suddenly went black.
23:46When the lights came back on,
23:48Logan was walking toward me holding a bouquet of pink roses.
23:51He knelt down next to my seat, his eyes burning hot.
23:57I've imagined this moment so many times.
24:00In the end, I decided to choose the classroom
24:02where I first saw you, in front of your favorite movie.
24:06Emma, you already know how I feel about you.
24:09Now I want to ask you,
24:11will you be my girlfriend?
24:15Okay.
24:18The moment I said yes,
24:19the entire classroom exploded into cheers.
24:24As we walked out of the building later that night,
24:26Logan reached for my hand.
24:28This time, I didn't hesitate.
24:31Halfway across campus,
24:32I noticed a familiar figure standing under a streetlight.
24:35It was Ryan.
24:36His eyes fell on our joined hands.
24:37For a moment, nobody spoke.
24:40Ryan took a step forward,
24:41but when he saw Logan holding my hand,
24:43he stopped.
24:46So the rumors were true.
24:48Somehow, Logan's tight grip on my hand
24:50made me feel safer than all the promises
24:52I'd waited years to hear from Ryan.
24:54I thought I would feel sad.
24:56Instead, I felt peaceful.
24:58Yeah.
24:59We're together.
25:01Emma, let's go.
25:02As we walked away together,
25:03I didn't look back again.
25:05I thought Ryan was finally behind me,
25:07but I was wrong.
25:10The first thing Logan did after we started dating
25:12was kiss me in front of his entire team.
25:14The second he pulled away,
25:16the whole bench exploded.
25:18Finally!
25:19Logan!
25:20What?
25:21You're my girlfriend now.
25:22I'm allowed to kiss you?
25:23Not in front of everyone.
25:25Why not?
25:26Before I could answer,
25:27I heard someone behind me.
25:28Because some people don't like being the center of attention.
25:31I turned.
25:31Ryan was standing there.
25:32Logan then casually slipped his hand into mine.
25:35Ryan's eyes dropped to our joined hands.
25:37Gross.
25:37Then he walked off.
25:39I thought that was the end of it.
25:40Until my phone buzzed that night.
25:42Can we talk?
25:43I stared at the message.
25:45About what?
25:46Us.
25:47I looked at Logan,
25:48who was lying beside me on the couch,
25:50playing games.
25:51Then I typed,
25:52There is no us anymore.
25:56Ryan waited for me outside my class the next morning.
25:59Emma.
26:01What do you want?
26:03I know I screwed up.
26:05Everything between us.
26:08I thought you'd always be there.
26:10No matter how many times I pushed you away.
26:15But I never said I didn't want you.
26:23Ryan.
26:24You just wanted me around,
26:25but you never chose me.
26:27I was scared.
26:29Of what?
26:30Making the wrong choice.
26:32I almost laughed.
26:34You spent years making me wait
26:36because you were afraid of choosing wrong.
26:42That's just pathetic.
26:45But Logan didn't need years to know.
26:48So you really love him?
26:50Yes.
26:51No.
26:52No.
26:53You're just mad at me for hanging out with other girls.
26:55Ryan.
26:58I don't like you anymore.
27:00Do you understand?
27:05Then I won't bother you anymore.
27:08He turned to leave.
27:09I watched him walk away.
27:11For once,
27:11I didn't want to chase him.
27:14Logan was waiting at the end of the hallway.
27:16He didn't ask what happened,
27:17but just held out his hand.
27:19I took it.
27:20But on the way back,
27:21Logan didn't say a word.
27:23Something felt off.
27:26For the next few days,
27:27Logan acted like nothing had happened.
27:29Everything was normal
27:30until someone posted a picture of me
27:31talking to Ryan outside my classroom.
27:33The caption read,
27:34High school sweetheart got back together?
27:37The comments exploded.
27:39Seriously?
27:39Logan glanced at the screen.
27:41Then his smile disappeared.
27:42Who posted this?
27:43I don't know.
27:44He looked at the picture again.
27:45Then at me.
27:46For a moment,
27:47he didn't say anything.
27:48I'm jealous.
27:50You?
27:51A little.
27:52You don't trust me?
27:53I do.
27:56I just don't trust him.
28:01Logan?
28:02Yeah?
28:02I already chose you.
28:07I know.
28:08Then stop worrying.
28:10Okay.
28:11But I'm still allowed to be jealous.
28:16Later that evening,
28:17he posted a picture online.
28:19It was just our hands intertwined.
28:21His caption was simple.
28:22My girl.
28:26A few days later,
28:27I overheard Ryan talking to his teammates.
28:30So you're really giving up?
28:31She made her choice.
28:32You're still into her though.
28:34Yeah.
28:37But that doesn't mean I get to have her.
28:42Come on, man.
28:43She probably still has your pictures.
28:45She liked you for years.
28:46She can't just get over you overnight.
28:48You never know.
28:50Maybe she just needs some time.
28:51No.
28:53She was clear.
28:55I need to respect that.
28:57I slowly walked away.
28:58I didn't want him to see me.
29:00That night,
29:00I opened my old chat with Ryan.
29:02Years of messages were still there.
29:04Messages I'd read over and over.
29:06Trying to make them mean more than they did.
29:08Birthday texts,
29:09late night conversations.
29:11Photos.
29:12I scrolled through them for a while.
29:13Then I deleted the chat.
29:15Not because I hated him.
29:16I just didn't need it anymore.
29:22One year later,
29:23Logan's team made it to the biggest game of the season.
29:26I stood on the seats wearing Logan's jersey.
29:28His number was printed across my back.
29:30Jake spotted me.
29:31Look at you.
29:32You're basically part of the team now.
29:34I've always been your lucky goddess.
29:35True.
29:36Then Logan skated onto the ice.
29:38The moment he saw me,
29:39he smiled.
29:40And suddenly,
29:40I remembered the first time I'd stood by this rink.
29:43The game began.
29:44Logan played like his life depended on it.
29:46Every time he made a great play,
29:48the crowd erupted.
29:49When the final whistle blew,
29:51his team won.
29:52Logan ran straight toward me.
29:53He picked me up and spun me around.
29:56You saw that?
29:57Of course I did.
29:59You still remember the first time you brought me water?
30:01How could I forget?
30:02That was the luckiest day of my life.
30:04Really?
30:08Yeah.
30:09Because that's the day I met you.
30:11I want to make it up to you.
30:13Wait here.
30:14I came back with a bottle of water
30:16and handed it to him.
30:19Seriously?
30:19You got me water again?
30:21What?
30:22I thought you liked it.
30:24I did.
30:27And you still make my heart skip a beat.
30:29You got me.
30:32You only got me ready.
30:32I still didn't fat.
30:32I was waiting.
30:32I will get you.
30:32You got me.
