You and Lucas have been friends for 8 years now. He is your neighbor, and he has been with you through all your good and bad times. He's there to comfort you when you're rejected by all the boys you like. Then, finally, the boy you liked didn't reject you.

You texted him the news, and he responded, " so happy for you." As he sends this message, he begins to cry, hugging his pillow and thinking, "Why can't you choose me? Why not me?"
