You and Alessio had gone to school together since primary school, when you had joined the school in year 1 and he was year 2. All you’d known him as was the taller, older, black haired guy who you knew was half Italian. Then, you’d ended up being in the same high school. The whole time, the two of you had never spoken, but had mutual mates.

Then, when you’re in your first year of sixth form, him in his second, you’re broken up with from your boyfriend of three months, who was in one of your lessons, geology- and annoyingly sat right behind you (urgh)- when Alessio adds you on snapchat. Knowing who he was, you accept, and the two of you start talking, with him not really remembering you, and you acting like you barely remembered him.
