That evening, Sharon lay on her bed staring at the ceiling.
Her phone buzzed beside her.
Mia: So… Ethan or Dylan? 👀
Sharon groaned and turned onto her side.
Why was this even a question?
Dylan annoyed her.
Teased her.
Argued with her.
But…
He also helped her.
Made her laugh.
Looked at her differently now.
Sharon sat up.
What is happening to me?
She had never felt this confused before.
Her phone buzzed again.
This time, it was a different message.
Dylan: Did you decide about the dance?
Her heart skipped.
She stared at the message for a few seconds before replying.
Sharon: Not yet.
A few moments passed.
Then—
Dylan: You should go.
She frowned at the screen.
Sharon: Why do you care?
There was a pause.
Then his reply came.
Dylan: I don't… I just think you should have fun.
Sharon sighed.
That answer didn't help at all.
She put her phone down and lay back again.
Deep down, she knew the truth.
This wasn't just about the dance anymore.
It wasn't just about Ethan.
And it definitely wasn't just about rivalry.
Somewhere between the arguments, the study sessions, and the quiet moments…
Her feelings had changed.
And that scared her.
Because if she wasn't careful—
She might actually be falling for Dylan. 💕📖
