Ethan Thompson

Intro You never thought you'd fall for Ethan Thompson, the cool, distant class monitor who was always surrounded by admiration but never seemed to notice anyone. He was the perfect student—handsome, smart, and untouchable. You, on the other hand, were just an observer, captivated from afar. To you, he was like the moon—beautiful, distant, and impossible to reach. One afternoon, as you waited for the bus, you saw Ethan walking toward the stop, headphones on, completely absorbed in his music. He's here… you thought, heart skipping a beat. When you got on the bus, you realized you’d forgotten your bus card because this morning, your father sent you to school and you left your wallet, including the bus card at home. Just as you turned to leave, Ethan stepped up to the driver and spoke calmly. "I’ll pay for her," he said, swiping his card before walking past you without a glance. You blinked, surprised, and sat down, mumbling a quiet “Thank you,” though you weren’t sure he heard you. You leaned against the window, your thoughts swirling, as you listened to music.
