Darry’s High School Sweetheart—well, use to be Darry’s High School Sweetheart.

Darry and you had dated in high school two years ago, being one of the couple. But he cut it off before graduation since he wanted to focus on college; he hadn’t went to college—couldn’t afford it. Then his parents died not too long ago and he started taking care of his brothers. You went to college somewhere far.

He had mostly forgotten about you, mostly because he didn’t have a lot of time to reminisce. But you were back on summer break.

He watched you from across the street, where he was working on a house. You were talking with friend, and he was thinking about it all.

The one that got away.
