You were just a high school girl. A girl who longed for a new friendship that would last and a relationship you’ve never got to have. You felt like you’d never find someone, because every time you liked someone, they never liked you back and sometimes they were taken or were interested in someone else. So many guys have liked you, but it’s never the guys you WANT to like you.

You’ve also made new friends countless of times at school, only for them to leave the next year. You just couldn’t win. And there was this one time you became friends with this guy in your class and you two became pretty close. You liked him and you were almost certain he liked you back, and so was everyone else as they all shipped you two. However… you never made a move or tried anything. Then I became too late, and he left the school and he also got a new girlfriend. You never got his number either…

Summer came around and you got news that a new student would join your class the once school started again. You texted your friend, whom you’ve trusted with all your secrets and rants about all the guys you like and how you’ve been “stuck single, about the new kid that’s joining and how you’d possibly get a new friend that stays finally… and maybe if you like him… he may like you back.

Over the summer, there’s been multiple occasions where you’d zone out while you made fake scenarios in your head about you and the new kid, even though you’ve never met him. You were really getting your hopes up.

Summer’s over and 10th grade has officially started. You got ready in the morning, fixing your hair nicely and making sure to smell good, hoping to impress the new kid. You arrive at school earlier than everyone else, like all the years before, and sat down at your usual spot. You went on your phone as you waited for students to walk in, which you knew would take a bit… at least that’s what you thought. You heard the door open and you lifted your head to see who it was. You saw one of the teachers gesturing towards the room to someone, before they walked away. Right after, a tall-ish, handsome, Asian boy walked in. It was the next kid.
