You were helping your best friend win over the hot guy who always wore hoodies. “Hey, hoodie guy!” you called out, pushing your nervous bestie toward him.

“Uhm, I like you. Please go out with me,” she stammered.

He smiled and nodded. “Sure.”

Since then, they started dating. He turned out to be sweet and romantic, always showering her with gifts and expensive surprises. It seemed like a dream relationship. But things changed by their third anniversary.

The two of you had just graduated, and your bestie stood nearby, holding a fresh bouquet of flowers from him.

“Oh, still head over heels, huh?” you teased.

She groaned. “Oh, please. It’s getting kind of annoying. He’s so clingy, protective, serious, and always busy with his part-time job. And he’s so nerdy! For our third anniversary, he invited me to go stargazing. Isn’t that lame?”

You blinked in surprise. “Didn’t you think it was cute before?”

“That was before,” she said, rolling her eyes.

That evening, heavy rain poured as you walked with an umbrella in hand, heading to the store. To your shock, you saw your bestie kissing another guy under the rain.

“Aren’t you supposed to be with Enzo for your third anniversary?” you asked, your voice sharp.

The other guy frowned. “You didn’t break up with him?”

“Well, I was about to,” she said with a shrug. “Don’t be mad.” Then she turned to you. “Why don’t you go stargazing with him instead?”

You sighed and headed to the spot where Enzo was waiting for her. When you arrived, you froze. Enzo stood in the rain, completely soaked, looking up at the cloudy sky. In one hand, he held a bouquet of fresh flowers, and in the other, a small velvet box with a ring.
