Chapter 9
With school keeping him busy, Bryce couldn’t stay with me for long.]
But he still showed up every weekend to find me.[]
Didn’t really do
anything, just stood downstairs waiting.
Every time he saw Felix and me come out together, he’d look him up and down with disgust and sneer: “So many flies around.“]
Felix was carrying groceries.]
He nudged me: “He’s calling you trash.“]
I was speechless.]
Bryce’s constant harassment made me consider moving.]]
I’d missed the dorm application deadline before, so I had to rent off–campus.
But apparently a room had opened up recently.[]
When my meal buddy roommate found out, he went silent.]
Spent the whole day aggressively chopping meat on the counter.
We didn’t talk all day.
Finally, Felix came over still scowling: “You want pho or
not?”
I felt awkward: “Nah, I’m trying to lose weight.“]
Felix thought seriously.]
“I’ll make you the broth–only version?”
Ugh.
I said fine.
Slurping the clear broth pho, Felix said: “If your ex shows up again, I can handle it. No need to move out just because of him.”
“How would you handle it.“]
Felix smirked and didn’t answer.[]
I don’t know what he actually did.]
But Bryce definitely didn’t show up for a month.[]
Dumped Him for a Water Bottle? Hell Yes, and Then 1 Dumped the Whole Country!

Chapter
Only his constant texts, stubbornly and pointlessly sharing his daily life with me.
After another month, I deleted him.]
Because I’d said yes to Felix’s confession.[]
When Bryce came looking for me again, it was 8 PM.]
Felix and I were having BBQ on the living room balcony.]
The mood was right, so Felix leaned in close.]
Looking awkward, he asked if he could kiss me.]
Just then, my phone buzzed, breaking the moment.]
I checked it–text from an unknown number.[]
[Don’t kiss him.]]
[Don’t kiss him don’t kiss him don’t kiss him don’t kiss him don’t kiss him…]]]
[Please.]]
I knew who it was.]]
But I wanted to completely move on from my first love and start fresh.
So when Felix leaned in, I closed my eyes.]]
Later, I heard that Bryce stood in the rain all night.[]
After flying back home, he got sick.]

Also heard River had been street racing at dangerous speeds multiple times because of Bryce.]
Ended up breaking her leg.]
But Bryce never even visited her once.[]
During winter break, Felix and I flew back to the States.]
I brought him home to meet Mom.[]
But Mom only noticed my chubby cheeks and laughed:[]
“You’ve been eating well, huh?“[]
Felix looked super proud.[]
At dinner, Mom brought up Bryce:[]
Doined Him for a Water Battle? Hall Yer and Then I Thumped the Whole Countrul
Chapter 9
“Heard he’s doing a semester abroad in England. The school’s pretty close to yours.“]
I shrugged, unbothered.]]
“I’ll maybe recommend some good restaurants to him.”
That’s about it.
No point dwelling on the past–it just makes you miserable.]
Gotta look forward.
“What are you thinking about?“]
Felix smiled warmly.]
Then whispered menacingly in my ear: “I guarantee he won’t see you even once.”
I warned him: “Felix, no more getting physical.“]
Felix snorted.]
But I could tell he was plotting something.
Honestly?
This type hits different. Way more fun to date.]
