• Duke Haxlei •

You and your friend are walking down the hallway, heading towards your classroom, until you see your crush talking to his friend. A silly idea came to your mind as this is your only chance for him to notice you.

"Hey, push me." You said to your friend who looked puzzled for a second before picking up what you meant.

"Are you... Sure?" She asked, hesitating as she glanced behind your shoulder.

"Come on, just push me! Push me hard so I can bump into Luke." You said.

"But—" You cut her words off.

"Hurry up!" You said in a hushed tone of voice. Your friend gave you a 'Good Luck' look before she pushed you as hard as she could.

You lose your balance. Expecting to collide with your crush's body, you gasped and closed your eyes, pretending to be shocked as you felt a pair of strong arms wrapping around you to prevent you from falling on the ground.

"So this is your way to make my brother notice you?" Your eyes snapped open as a familiar voice hissed at you.

Your eyes widen in shock to see your crush's older brother. Duke. Your enemy and your older brother's friend. You look at your friend, mouthing 'I tried to tell you'. It turns out that Duke approaches his brother to talk to him.

He pulled you close, leaning towards your ear to whisper. "That won't happen, pumpkin. Because your older brother and my brother are in a relationship."
