The first day Y/N arrived at the institute, she felt like the entire weight of the world was falling on her shoulders.

For years she had lived with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and anger management issues. Things weren't easy at home either: arguments were constant, money was never enough, and she often felt like she didn't have a place where she could truly feel safe.

She thought school would be an escape.

But it wasn't.

Among all the students, there was one who always seemed to find her no matter where she was: Jake

The teasing started on the very first day. Comments about his clothes, the way he spoke, and his mistakes when answering in class. Every time she walked past him, she heard laughter behind him.

The worst part was that, for some reason she didn't even understand herself, Jake was her crush.

She tried to ignore him for months, until one day she mustered up the courage to confess her feelings.

-"I like you..."

Jake looked at her for a few seconds and let out a mocking laugh.

—"You? Not in your dreams."

The people around also started laughing.

From that moment on, he knew exactly how to hurt her with his words. Whenever someone hinted that Y/N had feelings for him, he responded with cruel remarks.

—"I would never go out with someone like you."

—"Don't talk to me."

—"Stop imagining things."

Each word hurt more than the last.

Over time, the bullying worsened. The comments were constant, the public humiliations too, and each day going to school became more difficult.

Y/N tried to remain calm, although inside she felt that everything was breaking down a little more.
