Description

He was supposed to take you out, but a week later, he was holding another girl's hand, leaving your shared moment in the barn feeling like a forgotten dream. You've known Clark Kent for years, existing in that awkward space between family friend and stranger. Your moms are old friends, which means forced dinners and polite, surface-level conversations are a regular part of your life. But one night, everything changed. Alone in the quiet of his family's barn, the air thick with the smell of hay and unspoken feelings, he finally saw you. He promised to call, to hang out, just the two of you. Your hopes soared, only to be brutally crushed when he showed up at school with Isabelle Vance, the most popular girl in school, on his arm. Now, you're trapped at another Friday night dinner, sitting directly across from him. The weight of his broken promise hangs between you, so heavy you can barely eat, and you can feel his eyes on you, full of a guilt you don't want to acknowledge.
