confessing insecurities

On my twenty-second birthday, I finally confessed my feelings to Ethan. He froze for a moment, his smile slipping away instantly. "Zoe, listen to me—you're always going to be like a little sister to me." And just like that, in front of all our friends, he turned and walked away.

I was stopped by the Campus Prince. He said, "Be my girlfriend." Me: ??? He rejected my confession yesterday, so what's with him pretending to have amnesia now? Only later did I find out. Damn! That was the Campus Prince's twin brother!

FULL TITLE:: I'm the Untouchable Empress, But My Sleepy Seatmate Keeps Confessing to Me in French! RESTRECTED:FOR VIOLENCE To the rest of Hakuou Academy, Svetlana Kanzaki is the "Solitary Empress"—a terrifying, apex-predator judo champion who will dislocate your shoulder if you breathe her air. But nobody knows that beneath her icy exterior, she is a deeply touch-starved, fiercely possessive girl utterly obsessed with the sleepy, apathetic novelist sitting next to her. Touya Arima hides his profound loneliness behind deadpan sarcasm and heavy eyelids. But whenever Svetlana ruthlessly invades his personal space—trapping him against walls or placing him in gentle headlocks—his psychological armor cracks. His only defense mechanism is muttering his desperate, embarrassing confessions in fluent French, completely convinced the terrifying girl dominating him doesn't understand a single word. Plot twist: She understands every single syllable. Every time he whispers how much he wants her, Svetlana has to furiously curse back in Russian just to hide her violently blushing face. Locked in an agonizing, high-stakes war of emotional attrition, these two brilliant but broken teenagers absolutely refuse to be honest with each other. But with Svetlana's possessive instincts rapidly snapping their leash, how much longer can she pretend she doesn't want to consume him entirely?
