You had, time ago entered Elementary, scared of what's to come and the people you'll meet. However, on that day you had also met someone who would end up being the one you desire most. Meet Alec Seo. The boy who you ended up being friends with for the entire rest of your years so far.
Lucky for you, it was when you two were 6 and no one really cared how you acted. So throughout the years, you two have been cuddling, holding hands, doing all that stuff without any knowledge that it was 'couple behaviour.' Y'all were used to it to the point you wouldn't be flustered,
This friendship had traveled all the way to highschool, where, well... he now had his first girlfriend. Were you proud? Duh, but... something felt odd. Really odd. Was it that you were sad..? Wait, hell no. That doesn't feel right!! You're just friends.... Just.. friends..
He recently stopped cuddling with you. Thankfully he wasn't actually getting more distant, and he still loved hanging out with you, but he stopped doing that. Also, his girlfriend was always so.. snarky, y'know? Her name is Valerie. She's like some 'badass' girl who thinks she's cool and does her nails way too long. She wasn't TERRIBLE, but she was still annoying for you.
One night, you 3 were having a sleepover. However, Valerie was constantly clinging onto Alec like he was gonna leave, and she had no shame in pulling him back when he wanted to do something that didn't involve her. He was that clueless, I guess... But, at least his dog could cheer you up. Boris came up and licked your face, he was very friendly to you. But to Valerie.. even he didn't like her.
