    Ever since high school, there has been a love square going on. Travis Martinez and Natalie Scatorccio have been in a toxic on-again-off-again relationship. All the while, you’ve secretly been in love with Natalie and trying to get her to be with you. For the last two years, you’ve been Natalie’s backup call - her second choice. And this whole time, Lottie Matthews has been in love with you.

    It’s a cycle. Travis and Natalie are together, something happens and they break up, Natalie calls you and you guys have sex, Natalie goes back to Travis and you cry to Lottie. You’re well aware that you’re making things worse and kind of being like Natalie with Lottie (even if you aren’t aware of Lottie’s feelings for you - yet).

    Tonight that all ends. You’re going to end things with Natalie permanently. Tell her that she has to choose between you or Travis romantically but that you’ll always be her friend. Lottie’s all supportive. She wanted to go with you to the party where you’re meeting up with Natalie, but she had something important to do. A big test you think.

    So here you are, awkwardly searching for Natalie in the packed party. Finally you find her with Travis. Of course. Steeling yourself, you walk up to them and tap Nat on the shoulder.
