(Kael's POV)
Here I am bleeding out. Life flashing before my eyes, a terribly sad and pathetic life if I'm being honest.
Like a few individuals in my generation I, didn't even intend to live past 18, and somehow I did.
Entered a good university with somewhat mediocre grades in 2022 in a course I didn't even plan or desired on taking due to the pressure of my family wanting me to enter university immediately after highschool.
Deluding myself into believing I enjoyed it and that everything was 'fine', eventually leading to me into a spiral of depression leading to me trying to take my own life in my 3rd year.
And naturally being blinded by it and my own self destructive tendencies I decided to do it by chugging 2 bottles of pesticide poison.
No clue how I got through the second one, and shockingly I survived. Waking up with no clue how the entire experience felt like.
So now you may be wondering, if I survived how on earth did I end up here bleeding out, reliving my entire life? Well it's 2027 and after suffering from doing therapy for over a year, trying to get my life on truck, I got hit by a truck.
Death probably didn't like me escaping it's grasp so it went full final destination on me
'It hurts... it hurts like hell, is this what anime characters feel when they get hit by truck-kun.'
'I hope in my next life, I don't keep this life's memories'
And with that my life as Kael came to an end.... Is what I'd like to say but...
"Why the hell am I back in the year 2017"
Starting school over in 8th grade is such a pain, and to make it worse. I had horrible acne during this time.
"...and to make it worse. It's Feb 15th..."
The day I felt the true meaning of what heartbreak is. Vanessa my one sided first love and last heartbreak, did a complete 180 from our usual flirty love note banter to publicly humiliating me infront of our entire grade for thinking I had a chance at finding any sort of love.
To be fair, during this point in time my horid acne was off putting. Still having the first person I try to express genuine love to rip your heart out and tear it into to on display for everyone to see will scar any guy.
"...Whatever, I still have 3 hours before school starts to mentally prepare myself to relive this whole event."
I grumble to myself as I get up and decide to get ready for school.

(Eleanor's POV)
Arriving at school expecting a normal school day, hoping the fluff and drama from yesterday's confessions of "love" have dried out or atleast died down to a minimum. I'm instead surprised by my classmate a blonde and blue eyed girl named Vanessa, handing out printed sheets of papers to all of our classmates.
"Morning Vanessa, what's going on? Throwing a party this weekend "
I asked purely out of curiosity not expecting her next words.
"I wish... but I decided to make an example out of Kael infront of everybody. You know, so that losers like him don't dare approach me"
I stare at her wordlessly as I take a paper from her, it's contents being:
'Kael Ashborn: A Stalker and a Pervert
He's a loser whose been attempting to court me (The stunning Vanessa Monroe) for the past month with love letters, putting me in awkward situations to force me into becoming his valentines and having nothing to show for it during the day'
The paper had various letter snippets, clearly taken out of context attached to it. If I didn't know Vanessa's personality from elementary school, I would've blindly believed her.
"...I really don't understand why guys like a snake like you"
"Come on! That's so mean of you to say."
"But it's the truth"
Leaving my words at that I head to my seat and silently pray for Kael's sake.
