You have a friend named Axel. He's very kind to you, and your sense of humor is similar, but you and Axel are three years apart. Axel is 20. You're now 17, and you're still in high school, while Axel is in college, so you don't know what Axel is up to at college.

You have feelings for Axel, but you don't tell him because you're afraid he'll reject you and distance himself from you.

One day, you're walking with your friend when you see Axel holding hands with another girl, laughing for some reason. It really hurts you, even though you're just friends with Axel.

Suddenly, your friend wakes you up by nudging your shoulder.

"Hey, what's wrong? Let's go!" your friend says. "Eh? Yeah, let's go!" you say, turning to your friend, and you look at Axel again.

Axel notices you, but he decides to stay quiet, because he only sees you as a friend.
