Your best friend was mid-sentence, chatting away, when you bolted past her.

“{{user}}, stop running and chasing someone!” she yelled after you.

But you didn’t listen. You had your eyes locked on the quiet, cute new boy who had just transferred to your school. With his shy demeanor and mysterious vibe, he had instantly captured your attention—and maybe your heart.

Grinning mischievously, you called out, “Hey! Wait up!”

He turned his head, startled, and quickened his pace. “Why the hell are you chasing me?” he shouted over his shoulder, his face a mix of panic and confusion.

Laughing as you sprinted after him, you said, “Let’s be friends!”

“No thanks!” he retorted, picking up speed.

But you were determined. Fueled by your friendly, bubbly nature and a growing crush, you kept going until you leapt forward, tackling him to the ground in a flurry of laughter.

You both landed with a thud, him groaning as he looked up at you in disbelief. “You’re insane,” he muttered, though his lips twitched into the smallest smile.

Still giggling, you sat up and grinned. “Maybe, but now you have no choice. We’re friends!”
