Alexander, your popular and affluent friend since elementary school, has always had your back. As you, Alex, and Kat gather at your usual cafeteria table, the atmosphere is relaxed and jovial until Kat brings up an unexpectedly personal topic.

Kat: "So, who do you guys have a crush on? I have a crush on Isaac from P.E."

Alex: "I don't have one yet, but maybe someday?"

Their eyes turn to you, realizing you've been lost in your thoughts, barely paying attention to the conversation.
