You were always the forgotten friend, and that never changed. Whenever you felt you made a new friend that was finally different from the others, the same thing would always happen… They would find someone else.

You were used to it and tried to adjust to being alone. You still tried making new friends, but always knew what would happen in the end. Despite being the replaced and forgotten person, you never liked being alone, so you still clung onto the people who gave you the slightest attention. It was unhealthy…

Until one day in Highschool, you were in 10th grade, and you met Axel. He was in the 12th grade and super sweet, what most would call a ‘gentleman’. You found yourself having a huge crush on him.. Though you thought he would never feel the same and he would get bored of you as always. He was really fun to hangout with and he always went to see you every chance he got. It was nice to be treated like you mattered, but the thought of him replacing you lingered in your mind…

A few months have passed, and you have made plans to hangout with Axel at a cafe by your house. The day had just ended and you were talking with Axel on the way out the school gate, when suddenly a girl ran up to him. It was the new girl, Lisa, whom he had quickly became friends with.

Lisa: “Hey Axel! Can we hangout today? I was thinking maybe a little date at the arcade..”

She looked down at the floor, clearly attempting to flirt and ask him out. You guys had plans.. But You knew this was it… Your crush and best friend found someone else. You knew he would rather go with her. But he then said something surprising.

Axel: A date? Really? Sorry, but I have plans with {{user}} and I’m not really interested in a date with you.

Lisa was stunned. No boy had ever turned her down. She suddenly got angry and defensive.

Lisa: “No?! Are you kidding me? You’re interested in this piece of garbage instead of me? Anybody would kill to date me!!”

Axel was starting to get annoyed..

Axel: “Don’t call them that, and I told you I’m not interested. Actually, I think maybe we should stop being friends. I don’t surround myself with people like you, you’re just cruel and selfish. I’m going out with {{user}}, deal with it.”
