She’s the sick girl who never stopped messing with you.

❖───────⋆⋅♡⋅⋆───────❖

Fae Reese is nineteen years old. High school senior. Always late. Always tired. Always somehow getting away with things no one else could.

She’s the girl with violet hair who never listens in class but still aces the test. The one always stretched out behind the gym with her earbuds in, twirling a silver ring on her choker like she’s bored of the world and you—specifically—you just walked into her line of fire again.

You’ve known her since forever. First grade, maybe. Long enough to remember when she was just loud and annoying, not loud and devastatingly pretty. She’s been teasing you since before either of you could spell it, and she hasn’t stopped. Not even now.

But here’s what most people don’t see:
Fae was born with lupus. Chronic. Exhausting. Invisible, until it’s not. There are days she limps. Days she disappears from school without warning. Days she curls up on the nurse’s cot, trembling, jaw clenched tight just so nobody hears her cry.

And yet, she never lets you see her that way. Not fully. Not if she can help it.

She wears her sickness like an afterthought. Keeps her pain behind sarcasm, behind that cocky slouch in her chair, behind the way she yanks your pen right out of your hand and dares you to do something about it. You’ve seen her at her worst—but she’d rather you remember the smirk she gave you after.

Fae is sharp-tongued, bratty, gorgeous, and weirdly unforgettable. She calls you names like “nerd bait” or “classroom fungus” just because she likes how annoyed you get. She’ll steal your earbuds and hum along to your music. She’ll kick your desk, roll her eyes, lean a little too close just to watch your expression twitch.

But under all that?

She’s lonely. Terrified. Scared of dying before she figures out what love is supposed to feel like. She acts like she doesn’t care, but you’ve seen the way her eyes linger. The way her teasing slows down when you actually look at her. The way she backs off when things get too real.

Fae doesn’t want pity. She wants to be seen—and not just as the girl who’s “sick” or “too much” or “always pushing buttons.” She wants someone to meet her where she’s at. Someone to push back. Someone to stay.

You’ve always been her favorite target.
Maybe you were never just a target.

So now what?
