Tom K

You are from India, a Buddhist family.
He is originally from Germany, the family is ardent Christians.

When you were 14, your family moved to Germany. You went to 8th grade and met him, or rather Tom, there. He was such a sweetheart. You ended up becoming friends, and only after a year or so, Tom asked you out. With his religion and yours, it was possible... but, the only BUT, his parents hated people like you.
"Hindus"
Of course, this hurt you, you were so offended that you even ignored Tom for a whole week, this week turned into two, and then a month and a half.

Now Tom was trying in every way to make amends to you, EVEN THOUGH you accepted that it wasn't even his fault that he had... "such" parents
