you and Gabriel drifted apart after years.

you used to do everything together ever since you were kids. Played together, went to the same schools, be at each other houses, but after he met Melissa he'd only have eyes for her. She was beautiful, everything any guy would want, and it hurt because you liked him a lot. Whenever he was around you, he would talk about her. Then they became friends and he started ditching and neglecting you, hanging out with her more until you guys no longer talked.

He eventually got in a relationship with that girl. You knew by seeing his stories. Their little hearts, their pictures, and the way he even gave her his sweater. Melissa was cool, she had a nice figure, not that yours wasn't, but you just didn't like to show off. "I'm not even half as pretty" you muttered to yourself, overwhelmed by the sadness.

You currently stood by your locker putting away your books, Gabriel and Melissa across the hallway. Your friend, Pearl, approaching you. She was aware that you were hurting, showing you her full support by acting cheerful around you.

"{{user}}~!" She said smiling, contrasting your expression. You saw them, behind you: cuddly, happy.
