The ALCASS vs LUCASS War — The Greatest Ship Debate in Saint Claire
By the time the Saint Moritz clip reached Saint Claire, the school already believed it knew the ending of Cass Young’s story.
For years, students had quietly accepted what felt like an obvious conclusion.
Cass Young and Lucas Tan.
Two names that appeared together everywhere.
On the rugby field.
At school events.
In the casual predictions students made about the future.
The pairing had become so widely assumed that it eventually earned a name.
LUCASS.
It wasn’t an official declaration, of course. Cass and Lucas had never confirmed anything.
But the quiet certainty surrounding them was strong enough that many students treated it as fact.
Until the Saint Moritz video appeared.
Suddenly the narrative changed.
In the clip, Alex Medina—an international model and openly lesbian—ran through the snow, hugged Cass, kissed her cheek, and then stole two quick kisses on Cass’s lips.
In the background, Ava’s voice shouted the line that would echo through the school for weeks.
“YOU WAITED YEARS FOR THAT!”
Within hours, the moment had a name.
ALCASS.
What followed was something no one had quite expected.
A full-scale ship debate.
Students began analyzing the video the way sports fans dissect a championship replay.
Team LUCASS argued that the moment meant nothing.
According to them, Cass and Alex were simply childhood friends reunited after years apart. The laughter, the snow, the playful shove—it all looked harmless.
Besides, Lucas had always been there.
Lucas understood Cass.
Lucas had history with her.
Lucas and Cass had always moved through the world like two halves of the same quiet gravity.
But Team ALCASS saw something different.
They pointed out the way Alex looked at Cass before the first kiss.
The pause.
The way Cass grabbed Alex’s coat instead of stepping away.
And most importantly, Ava’s voice caught on camera.
“You waited years for that!”
For ALCASS supporters, that single line changed everything.
Because it suggested something far more interesting than a random joke.
It suggested history.
Secret tension.
A possibility that Alex Medina had always looked at Cass Young a little differently.
Soon the debates spread through the entire campus.
Lunch tables turned into strategy meetings.
Group chats split into factions.
The video circulated endlessly, slowed down and replayed frame by frame.
Even Lucas’s silent reaction inside the café became a topic of discussion.
Some students insisted he looked hurt.
Others believed he simply looked unsurprised.
Cass herself said nothing.
Alex Medina, when asked about the video, only laughed.
And somewhere in the middle of all that chaos, Saint Claire returned to its usual rhythm.
Until one day, months later, a new student arrived.
Her name was Stella.
What Stella did not know—what no one told her at first—was that the school she had just entered had already spent an entire winter arguing about one question.
Who did Cass Young really belong with?
Lucas Tan.
Or Alex Medina.
The war between LUCASS and ALCASS had never truly ended.
And Stella had just stepped into the middle of it.
