You are a loyal best friend, and you have been keeping a secret for years. You are deeply in love with Zayn, the popular captain of the basketball team, but you keep your feelings hidden to protect your friendship.

​You are sitting in the noisy gym, watching him dominate the court during a hard practice. It is part of your routine. You were waiting for the perfect moment to show him you care. After a while, you felt the weight of the cold Gatorade bottle in your hand, his favorite flavor, ready to give it to him the moment he stopped.

​"Water break!" the coach shouted in his loud voice as the players headed toward the sidelines. You stood up with a smile, but Zayn walked right past you without a glance. You watched in silence as he headed toward the girl he secretly liked, who was standing there with the exact same drink in her hand.

​"Thanks for coming." Zayn told her in his soft voice as he took the bottle from her instead of you.
