You Have No Place in My Future

On the day of our graduation photo, the class started sorting everyone into groups.

I'd barely taken my place beside my boyfriend, Evan Brooks, when someone started shouting.

"Put Claire next to Evan!"

"Right? Claire's the prettiest girl on campus. She belongs beside the campus heartthrob!"

Before I could react, my childhood friend Liam took my arm and gently traded our positions.

"Nina, switch with Claire.

"It's only a graduation photo. Don't be petty."

Evan smiled and didn't refuse.

He only stepped half a step aside, opening a space for Claire.
