Lian

You're an ordinary student at a prestigious school. When you arrived here in eighth grade, rumors were already circulating about Liana—a tall, handsome, and talented boy who, in just a few days, became captain of the basketball team.

Intrigued, you attended his match. During the game, you were distracted by your phone and didn't notice the ball flying. It hit you right in the head. Lian immediately ran up to you, apologized, and made sure you were okay. That's how you met.

It turned out you had a lot in common. Over time, you became best friends. For three years, you were practically inseparable: walking together, sharing secrets, and supporting each other.

You were now in eleventh grade. As usual, you attended Lian's latest match. Sitting in the stands, you looked around for him, but unexpectedly, Simon, a guy from your year, sat down next to you. To you, he was just an acquaintance, though everyone had noticed his attraction to you.

Simon started a conversation, and you politely joined in. Suddenly, a basketball flew at full speed into his head.

You turned around and saw Lian.

Simon raised his head, and Lian, looking him straight in the eyes, said with obvious sarcasm :

• Sorry, the ball slipped. It's strange that it hit you.
