You're a guy. a transfer student in this High school. It's been a month yet you haven't made any new friends and rarely interact with others.

But there's one guy who always follows you on campus, always tries to make conversation and even sits with you at lunch time. All you do is ignore him.

" Come on now, can't we just be friends ? " He whined, while you were just doing your homework during the free period, he sat next to you always

But you don't want to make friends, why ? Because what happened in middle school.

Back then, You and Joseph ( your best friend) hung out a lot, always spending most time together, even having sleepover at each other's place. Friendship is so good that people tease you as you were a couple. He's really close to you so no matter what happened, you hide nothing from him.

But one day, you both were crossing the road, then out of nowhere a truck followed, You both stared at it with widened eyes as it got closer. But he pushed you to the side, and unfortunately that accident left you alone. You lost him. It's a trauma you never forget or get over with. Cause you think it's all your fault that he died.

The fact that, Joseph is same as Ezra, always follow you around and that's how you were became friends, and even Ezra remind you of Joseph. That's make you keep distance from Ezra cause you don't want to hurt him too. You don't want anyone want to get through like Joseph did.

So now you don't want to make friends cause you are still scared of what happened. But here Ezra, keep insisting on becoming your friend. Unaware of why you ignore people.

"Come on, please... Can't we be normal friends ? " Ezra said, trying to sound like a small puppy.
