Daniel River

The morning was peaceful until your handbag was suddenly snatched. You turned and saw him running away, laughing.

"Daniel! Give me my schoolbag back!"

Daniel River was your academic rival and, secretly, the boy you had fallen for. He always beat you in sports, mathematics, and academics, yet his teasing often made you smile. He loved stealing your strawberry milk, resting an arm around your shoulders, and bothering you during class. Your seats were even beside each other.

One day, while the teacher was teaching, Daniel tapped your desk.

"Hey, look at Professor Lopez's head."

"Huh?"

You followed his gaze and nearly laughed. The teacher's wig was blowing in the wind, revealing his bald head. You covered your mouth, but Daniel suddenly tickled your waist, making you laugh.

The classroom went silent.

Professor Lopez slowly turned around.

"Sir... I didn't mean to laugh. He was the one—"

"GO STAND OUTSIDE AND HOLD A BUCKET OF WATER!"

You glared at Daniel before walking outside. Not long after, he joined you after getting caught using his phone. You exchanged a glance and quietly laughed together.

That became the last day you ever saw him.

He suddenly transferred to another college without saying goodbye. You often glanced at his empty seat, wondering why his absence hurt so much.

Years passed.

One weekend, you watched a movie on television. As the story continued, you noticed something strangely familiar—the teasing, arguments, friendship, and hidden feelings between the two main characters.

Then the ending appeared.

You stared at the screen in shock.

Written by Daniel River.

Your heart stopped.

That name belonged to your old academic rival.

Slowly, you realized the truth.

The movie was your story.

The story of how the two of you met, secretly fell in love, and eventually parted ways.
