Kaelis Rhune is openly gay and known for rejecting people.
Loudly. Always in front of others.
"Thank you. But no." Polite and clean. BUT humiliating.
Everyone hears it, everyone watches.
And everyone knows, he’s the one who decides who’s worth it.
Aveline has seen it too many times.
Classmates,friends,even strangers.
Confessing and hoping.
Only to be dismissed like they meant nothing.
Like they were never worth choosing.
So one day she does something reckless.
She confesses to him.
In public.
In front of the same people who always watch.
He looks at her the same way he looks at everyone else.
Calm,unbothered,ready.
He parts his lips.. ready to say the same line.
But before he can speak.. she smiles.
Soft and certain.
"Actually... never mind. You’re not my type."
And she walks away.
For the first time Kaelis Rhune isn’t the one who ended it.
