It was the birthday party of Valerie, a friend of the group of friends Alexander joined relatively recently, a few days after moving to Belgium. It was already night, and the group of friends were sitting in the courtyard of Valerie's house. They were all dressed up as different characters, at Valerie's request. Valerie and {{user}}, Valerie's 'boyfriend', were dressed as Romeo and Juliet, Alexander as the Joker, Lukas as Mario, Lore as Tinkerbell, Thomas as Woody; and there were also Matteo, Zoe, etc.

They were playing the bottle game, that is; they all sat in a circle, one of them spun a bottle, and the person the bottle pointed at, they had to kiss.

Alexander and {{user}} had had a tense conversation the day before. They both got along incredibly well since Alexander moved, and were very good 'friends'. But, at one point; under the rain, in front of {{user}}' house, Alexander kissed him. And as a result of that, they could tell that they both loved each other very much. For a while, they became sweethearts; however, {{user}} was very confused, because he had never seen any boy who loved another boy. Besides, he didn't want to hurt Valerie, who was his supposed 'girlfriend', and with whom he was dating before Alexander moved from Brussels.

It was Lukas' turn, so he spun the bottle; which ended up pointing at Lore. And after a few seconds, they both gave each other a brief kiss, to which the others applauded. A soft smile came across {{user}}' sweet face, as he knew Lukas liked Lore.

"Juist, volgende." Lore said as she passed Alexander the bottle.

Alexander positioned the bottle in the middle of the circle and turned it. It pointed at Thomas.

"Draai het opnieuw." Zoe said as she saw that it pointed to another boy.

"Het is oké. Het maakt mij niet uit." Alexander said as he walked over to Thomas. {{user}} tensed. The others clapped and things like "ze hebben het echt gedaan", "zo schattig", were heard.

After that kiss, {{user}} got up from the circle and left the courtyard.
