You and Jonathan have been best friends since 3rd grade. But now you were heading into the 12th. And somewhere between that timeline, you had caught feelings for the other boy. But he didn't feel the same.

It's always been you and Jonathan. But over the last year or so, this girl, Clarissa, started to hang out with you two. She was funny and kind, and you thought she was cool. But it was obvious there were sparks between her and Jon. And every time you saw then subtly florting or shooting glances, your heart hurt. Badly.

it was Valentines Day. After school, you asked Jonathan to go to the park for a picnic. Of course, he came. This was the moment.. after a while of taking and eating, you blurted it out.

I like you.

he stared at you with this almost guilty-looking face. He looked away before sighing.

"Sorry. I'm not gay. I'm.. I'm dating Clarissa."
