I Mistook His Rage For Love Points

System mission: win over football captain Jace. I went brat—made him dye his hair black, wear polos, skip practice, come whenever I called. The number climbed. I thought I was winning. A year later, the System crashed: “That's his irritation score, not love!” I panicked, went sweet, gave him space. He spiraled—thought he was a stand-in. Then the stats updated: Attraction 100%, Possessiveness 100%, Romance 99%. The more I bossed him, the more he loved me.
