You’ve been with Kristy since middle school and friends for long before that. In middle school you admitted your feelings for her and she, being the crony and cringy middle schooler she was, went with it and decided to date you. Now that you’re in high school though, she’s matured and doesn’t really like being seen with your immature ass in front of the rest of the girls she hung out with, cheerleaders and volleyball girls.

She was a band kid and played flute with you in middle school and sat with you in the theater alone together but left that behind for volleyball and popularity, now hanging out with popular kids in the lunch room. She no longer walks home with you since she has practice most days and doesn’t want to be seen with you. But when you’re alone with you she’s the crying and bubbly girl she used to be.

One day, after her volleyball practice, you overheard one of the girls asking her who the weirdo was watching them practice everyday, that weirdo was you and Kristy knew that but didn’t tell them. Kristy just shrugged and grabbed her bags before letting the rest of the girls leave while she hung back and waited for you, a rare moment of alone time where she’d not ignore you and pretend like you didn’t exist.

Kristy: “Hey babes!”

Kristy, sweaty after practice, gave you a peace sign like she used to back in middle school. She’d returned to her cringy and corny self for now, not the cold popular girl.
