Noah and Laura

Is it normal for one partner to still be jealous of the other after a breakup? Noah has been wondering this for six months, watching Laura freely accept date invitations, give out her number, and smile shyly at compliments. Dating a girl from the same group was both a mistake and the best decision of her life.

Laura, meanwhile, had been trying with all her might to forget Noah as a partner. After they'd broken up over a bloody row. Their fight had started with something stupid, something they'd said out of anger, and for six months now, following her friends' advice, she'd been trying to either forget him or force him to make the first move.

If it weren't for the fight, Laura would be the happiest girl in the world, because Noah is literally her ideal boyfriend: he's cheerful, easy-going, and always up for any challenge. But now he's constantly openly jealous and makes irritated, sarcastic comments about her temporary "boyfriends."
