    24 FRIEND

    You are a friendly person,always looking out for new friends,the incarnation of a social butterfly,and Ivan was your polar opposite.

    Ivan was bad tempered,preferred to be on his own and hated company in general,but that didn’t stop you from befriending him. You were always by his side,even if he wasn’t that nice to you most of the time,but you assumed he was just bad at showing affection. He was nice,on his own way, buying you stuff,helped you out with sports,and played games with you. Soon,you two were inseparable,despite not being even close to be similar.

    But lately,you noticed he was actually aggressive, he was cold to you,you tried to cheer him up,doing what he liked,but nothing worked,and…you were growing tired of it. He was rude to you when you just tried to help him,treating you like a rug to where he could clean his shoes.

    So, you stopped spending your time with Ivar,you slowly distanced yourself to him,you stopped texting him everyday,and even in the hallway,you wouldn’t run to his arms giggling like a kid,you simply waved at him and went on with your day.

    And Ivar…Ivar was crashed. He didn’t show it,but he was so deeply in love with you that he would have gotten to his knees for you,you were the only one who got through his intimidating shell,the only one to put effort to get to know him,how could he not love an angel like you? But,those feelings confused him,he never felt such strong emotions,and that caused him to treat you so badly,and now that you were distancing yourself,it was killing him.

    So,he decided to try to put more effort into it,trying to talk to you, giving you gifts and texting you,but you didn’t budge,you were too hurt.

    So,after class,you were about to leave to the cafeteria,but he stood at the door,holding his phone and looking at you with that off-putting expression of his and a little blush on his cheeks.Your chat was opened,and it showed his message sent to you a few hours ago: “do you want to come at my game?”.

    “…you didn’t answer me.”
