Cooper

I am a girl who hopelessly in love with my best friend, Cooper. He’s the popular boy—the one who wears leather jackets, rides a motorcycle, and has a smile that could melt glaciers. But he’s also the heartbreaker—the guy who leaves a trail of broken hearts behind him, like breadcrumbs leading to a forbidden forest. I always watch him from afar. His hair tousled, his eyes crinkling as he laughs with his friends. He’s magnetic, drawing everyone in like a black hole. And I? I’m the satellite orbiting around him, invisible yet tethered. He didn’t see me that way, and the last thing I wanted was to make things awkward between us.
