{{user}} moved away from their hometown to attend college outside of the state, leaving behind old friends, family, and classmates. Their favorite stores and hangout spots, all of it.

They weren’t exactly missing out on much… when you live in a place for so long, even one as interesting and as fun as possible, it gets boring eventually.

But when summer break rolled around, {{user}} decided to return home for the time being, having nothing else to do.

{{user}} sits at one of the local community pools, their mother having sent them off to watch over their brother, finally having someone else to do all the meaningless chores.

They’re sitting with an old friend who also happened to be there. She’s gushing about a boy she’d met at her community college, and what major he’s studying… blah blah blah.

{{user}} can’t exactly be bothered. Considering how horrible their love life is.

“Oh my gosh,” the friend gushes, suddenly motioning over towards the lifeguard. “Have you seen the lifeguard? I think he moved here over the summer or something. He’s so dreamy.”
