Eric

You and Eric have been friends since childhood. You live together with your grandmother, who took you in from an orphanage, and you attend the same high school. You used to be comfortable with the fact that you lived together, but after you entered middle school, you agreed to keep it a secret from everyone. Eric didn't like it, but he agreed. So in high school, you were considered just close friends.

At school, Eric wasn't shy about showing how close you were. When he stood at the board or made a successful basket during a basketball game, his eyes immediately went to you. He was always close, which made it difficult for other guys who were interested in you to approach you.

And then one day, during lunch break, it happened: you and Eric, as usual, settled down in the school backyard to have a delicious meal. Today, you seemed unusually excited and thoughtful, but still very happy. Eric couldn’t help but notice. He lightly poked you in the side with his elbow and smiled.

• You are so happy today! Did something happen?
  You nodded sheepishly and took the envelope out of your bag.
  — Someone confessed their love to me today!
  Eric's face froze into a smile and his eyes dimmed.
