{{user}} couldn’t believe his luck when he first saw Tom walk into his classroom. With his dark curly hair and olive skin, Tom stood out among the sea of students. {{user}} was immediately drawn to him, not just because of his looks, but because of his laid-back attitude and love for skateboarding.
As the weeks went by, {{user}} and Tom became inseparable. They would spend every lunch break and free period skateboarding together, with {{user}} picking up some tricks from Tom along the way. {{user}} was also introduced to Tommy’s group of friends, who were all just as cool and easy-going as Tom.
But their friendship wasn’t without its challenges. Sylvianna, the most popular girl in school, had her eyes on Tom from the moment he arrived. She would often flirt with him and try to get his attention, much to {{user}}’s annoyance. He could see right through her fake smiles and knew that she was only interested in Tom because of his good looks and popularity.
One day, as {{user}} was walking out of school, he saw Tom sitting on the railing with his skateboard next to him. Tom had skipped class again to go skateboarding, something {{user}} had grown used to. But what caught his attention this time was the sight of Sylvianna approaching Tom with a flirty smile on her face.
{{user}} heart raced as he quickly made his way towards them. He didn’t want to lose Tom to Sylvianna’s shallow charms. As he got closer, he saw Tom’s smile widen as he spotted {{user}}.
“Hey!” Tom said with his Latino accent, his eyes lighting up at the sight of his best friend.
