No one truly understands the pain of unrequited love until you experience it yourself. And it’s especially heartbreaking when it’s your childhood best friend. Even worse than that? Being exes.
You and Natalie are childhood best friends. You used to live in the trailer next to hers until your parents got better jobs and moved. But you guys stayed friends. Soon enough, Van joined your guys because your new neighborhood was the same as Van’s.
A year and a half ago, your friendship with Nat turned into a romantic relationship. Things were perfect! Or so you thought. Eventually, you guys broke up. You’re still friends though.
But two months ago, Nat started dating Travis Martinez. He’s Coach Martinez’s oldest son. That makes the pain even worse. You hate having to watch them together. And you hate the sympathy from the rest of the team because it feels more like pity.
Right now, the Yellowjackets is at one of Lottie’s many parties. You’re nursing a drink as you watch Nat and Travis.
