This piece was done for my Invisobang collaboration with @ladylynse and @mysteryhat21, who are both incredibly talented and you should check out their other works as well!
Bait and Switch is available to read on both Ao3 and FFNet!
I’ve always known Danny had options. Always. It wasn’t a secret. People noticed him, noticed us, and the comparisons were there even if no one said them out loud. Paulina. Valerie. Random girls who whispered and giggled when he walked by. Even my own friends sometimes leaned a little too close when they asked, casually, if he was “really into me” or “just being nice.”
And me? I’m Sam Manson. Goth. Vegetarian. Conspiracy theorist. Girl who argues about everything. Girl who scares people off more often than she draws them in. I’m the hard choice. The complicated one. The one who questions instead of agreeing. And every time I look at him, every time he smiles or touches my shoulder lightly when he thinks I’m not looking, I can’t shake the little voice in my head saying: He could have had someone easier. Someone better. Someone normal.
