Jason never got a chance to speak to Ace because Ace never came home neither did he show up in school the next day, his attitude puzzled Jason, he hated not been in control of predicting Ace's move.

Jason's phone buzzed in his pocket, the screen lighting up with a text from Audrey. "Did you see the article Ace gave me today?" The words sent an electric shock through him. He quickly typed back, “What did it say?”

What was Ace planning, he thinks to himself.

But as he waited for her response, he couldn't shake off the unsettling feeling that Ace was up to something. A few weeks ago, Audrey had received a folded newspaper from Ace. The headline read, “Love Triangles: The Silent War,” but it was what lay beneath the headline that made Jason’s stomach churn. But two days ago after Ace had scribbled a message on the note he handed to Audrey: he never showed up at Audrey's place.

His phone buzzed with Audrey's reply, she forwarded the message Ace had sent to her, "Meet me at the old observatory.”

Jason took a deep breath, his heart pounding like a war drum in his chest. He had been watching Ace from a distance, the self-proclaimed king of their school, who had laid his charming but unscrupulous eyes on Audrey. Jason clenched his fists, feeling a surge of anger rise within him. He had made a promise to himself he wouldn't allow anyone to interfere with his relationship with Audrey, especially not a schemer like Ace.

Jason was more afraid of the power Ace could weild if Audrey chooses Ace over him especially when she finally learns of the truth about her family background.

He glanced up at the setting sun, its piercing orange light casting eerie shadows across the schoolyard. The observatory was a relic of their town a place of memories, where childhood adventures blurred into twilight. But tonight, it felt less like a nostalgic fortress and more like a trap.

Jason stood up, shaking off his doubts. He had to confront Ace. In his best interest, he had to protect Audrey from his relentless advances. He stormed through the school halls, echoes of laughter and chatter fading into a hum as he approached the parking lot where Ace leaned against his sleek black car, a smirk plastered on his face.

“Well, well, look who decided to crawl out of his cave,” Ace sneered. He glanced at Jason, then flicked his gaze toward the dimming horizon. “You know, Audrey is an interesting choice. Has that whole 'nice guy' thing ever worked for you?”

Jason's heart raced, anger surging through him. “Back off, Ace. Audrey is with me, and I don’t appreciate your games.”

Ace raised an eyebrow, his expression shifting to one of mock surprise. “Games? Oh, you misunderstand. I’m just trying to add a little bit of excitement to her life. You know, she deserves a king, not a jester.” He leaned in closer. “And the observatory? She’ll be there. Do you really think she’ll choose a king over a clown?”

Fueled by fear and resolve, Jason pushed past Ace, the bitter taste of rivalry igniting a fire within him. He stormed toward the observatory, the wind howling as if urging him onward. The towering structure loomed ahead, its dome silhouetted against the night sky a beacon of both curiosity and danger.

As he paced up the creaking wooden steps, Jason’s imagination spun tales of what Ace might be plotting. Was it merely a chance for a face off, or was Ace more devious than he had anticipated? He arrived at the top, breathing heavily, the air thick with tension.
