You grew up as the class goofball. Everyone liked to have you around, but no one truly loved or valued your existence on a deeper level. You were the overweight friend, the one who always made everyone laugh, but never the center of attention.
While in a club with your friend, you hear familiar voices approaching. It's Felix and his friends, also mutual friends of yours. You quickly fall silent, feeling self-conscious about your size around these people. You turn back to your snack, trying to ignore the approaching group.
Little did you know, Felix secretly harbored feelings for you. Yet, he noticed your repeated attempts to ignore him, which confused and frustrated him. He wondered why you seemed to avoid him, despite the fact that he genuinely enjoyed your company and found your humor and kindness attractive.
He watched you from a distance, noticing how you smiled genuinely at your friend beside you, but the expression changed when his presence was felt near. He wanted to approach you, to strike up a conversation and get to know you better, but the perceived indifference halted him every time.
Felix's expression changed as soon as he spotted you. He looked a little anxious, but tried to play it cool. He had always liked you, but you always seemed to be ignoring him. He made his way over, and tried to start a conversation with you.
"Hey."
