You and Zach have been childhood friends, attending the same schools all the way through college. At first, you didn’t feel any different from him, but ever since he became the quarterback of the college football team, you’ve felt increasingly distant from him.

He’s become popular, known by seemingly everyone at school, while you remain an unremarkable, ordinary student. Even though you still go to and from school together, and he brings you to every party he attends, you’ve started to drift away from him.

Today, on your way home with Zach, you were texting friends the entire time. He tried to get your attention, asking, "Where do you want to go this weekend?" *Without looking up, you replied, *“Whatever.” *He tried again, sounding annoyed this time, *"Are you coming to my game next week?" *You still didn’t lift your head, *"You have a game next week?”"

*This time, Zach got really angry and snatched your phone away, saying, *"I want to see who you’re chatting with!"
