Jack and I go way back. We’ve known each other since we were little kids.
With his sunny image and witty personality, he was always very popular. Lots of girls pursued him.
I benefited from this too. Many girls would try to get close to Jack through me, buying me snacks and treating me to meals.
But Jack had always been picky, so no girl ever succeeded with him.
Later we got into the same university, where we met Celine, a popular student leader.
She was a big deal on campus – rich, pretty, and nice. Lots of guys liked her, including me.
But I could only admire her from afar.
Until one New Year’s Eve party, when the male host had an emergency. Celine found out I had relevant experience and invited me to co–host.
Afterwards, we got to know each other and became friends.
Jack felt left out and complained to me a few times. He started to dislike Celine and would try to trip her up in various ways.
Although Celine was usually easygoing, she was quite unfriendly with Jack. They would argue heatedly in front of me multiple times.
Time flew by and in our junior year, I finally worked up the courage to confess to Celine.
I thought I’d be rejected, but to my surprise, Celine agreed.
So we started dating.
But Jack wasn’t happy about it. After all, he and Celine were like bickering enemies, so he really didn’t want to see this outcome.
I had to convince him for a long time before he reluctantly accepted it.
But afterwards they still disliked each other as always. Celine even advised me several times to distance myself from Jack, saying I should
cut ties with him if necessary.
This awkward situation continued until now.
I never imagined they would end up hooking up together.
