Overthinking (3)

"It suits you."

I hoped those were the best words to avoid getting on Valencia's bad side. She really seemed to need the scarf at that moment.

Hopefully, this small gesture would ease the tension between us, making it easier to breathe around her.

But what was her problem? She seemed frozen... Why was she acting like this?

Asking Jan for friendship advice hadn't been a good idea. 

I wasn't even sure why I'd followed instructions from a pea brain like him.

— "If you want to fix a problem you don't understand, just express yourself with action."

Those words, like a rotten sentence, fueled my frustration.

What an oblivious, stupid, and an airhead MC.

...

The minutes ticked by, and Jan and Camila, engrossed in their conversation, remained oblivious to the subtle tension between Rel and Valencia.
