buttoned up now but in our two years dating on then one day ethan suddenly messaged let's meet up i really want to see you fingers hovering over the keyboard about to say yes and then it hit me all at once i'd been using tiffany's identity this whole time i scrambled to scroll back up through our chat history all the way to the top the very first line my name's tiffany my heart
which had been hanging on a thread, died completely the moment I saw that line. In the end, I picked up my phone and sent Ethan one line, I'm sorry. Then I blocked and deleted him outright. On the third day of no contact, Ethan used a different account to send me a message.
Tiffany, don't give up on me. Every word of Ethan's was soaked in pleading and the helplessness of being dumped out of nowhere. Too bad I wasn't Tiffany. I took Ethan off the blacklist. I stared at that one line, My name's Tiffany for what felt like hours
I kept wishing I'd never said I was Tiffany in the first place and in a daze I realized what an ordinary person I was if I hadn't used Tiffany's photos someone as amazing as Ethan never could have Thinking back to all that the bell rang and I snapped out of it with a sigh Someone walked up and waved a hand in front of me. I looked up to find the whole class watching
what what is it everyone just smiled without a word only tiffany came over face all innocent
