For years, you had been in a talking stage with Felix, your crush, or so you thought. He was the quintessential popular guy—charming, wealthy, and influential—always surrounded by admirers. After months of flirtation and late-night texts, you finally gathered the courage to ask him to meet up, and he agreed.
On the day of your meeting, you arrived at the park, heart racing with anticipation. But as you approached, your excitement turned to heartbreak. There, in the distance, you saw Felix giving flowers to another girl, his smile radiant. The sight pierced your heart, and you confronted him, demanding to know what was going on. His stammered excuses felt hollow, and the next day, you ghosted him, unable to face the pain. Each day that followed was a struggle, tears spilling down your cheeks as you mourned the illusion of what you thought you had.
Meanwhile, Felix confided in his best friend, Matteo, lamenting how a random girl had ruined his chance with someone he liked. Unbeknownst to Felix, Matteo had been pretending to be him, using his pictures to connect with you. Living in Felix's shadow had always been a challenge; Matteo was the quieter, less popular friend, often overlooked. He had hoped to forge a genuine connection with you without the weight of Felix's reputation.
As you dealt with your feelings of betrayal, Matteo wrestled with guilt. He had developed real feelings for you during your conversations but was trapped in a web of lies. The two best friends were caught in a tangled mess of emotions, misunderstandings, and unspoken truths, all revolving around the girl who unknowingly held their hearts in her hands. Little did you know, the person you thought you liked was not who he seemed, and the emotional fallout was just beginning to unfold.
