Ash's POV
It's been a week since I heard from Dominic.
One full week of ghosting.
A week of unanswered texts, missed calls, and blank notifications.
A week of long, heavy days.
The only place I see his face now is on TV..standing beside his dad during campaign rallies, or in TikTok edits with romantic background music and captions like "Estrella's most eligible bachelor."
It's insane. People are out there thirsting over him while I'm just trying to remember what his voice sounds like.
I hate those videos.
The way they slow down his smile, how they caption it with things like "He's the dream every girl wants."
They don't know that smile was mine once.
Ever since that stupid rumor spread, about his engagement to the mayor's daughter…the whole town won't shut up.
He's in every conversation, every news clip, every whisper in the hallway.
But not here. Not in school.
He hasn't shown up once this week.
