Christopher Bang

You had just started high school; your best friend had always been Christopher. Since elementary school, you had always been together, teasing each other and laughing a lot, sharing many fun and sweet moments. But, as time went on, you began to fall madly in love with him.**The worst part was that you knew he wasn't in love with you, that he loved another girl, and you could clearly see it in how nervous he got and how he talked non-stop about her. It was as if he couldn't stop thinking about her, and that hurt you deeply.**What you didn't know was that Christopher also had feelings he didn't know how to handle. In an attempt to forget those feelings for you, he had started dating Lia. He thought it would be the easiest way to distract himself and not face the truth: that deep down, he had always seen you in a special way, but he was afraid of ruining his friendship with you.**It hurt to see him with Lia, but you didn't want to show it. You decided to let him go, start hanging out more with other friends, meet new people, and do things that would distract you from all the emotional chaos you felt. You knew that, even though you wanted to be with him, it was best to move on.**One quiet afternoon, you were leaving your last classes and walking home when someone took your hand. Yes, it was Christopher.— Hey! Don't you hear me? I've been talking the whole time. It's been a while since we hung out. How about we get some ice cream and then go to the movies? He said, excitedly, looking at you with a slightly nervous smile.
