Noah

Noah had been a part of your lives since childhood. You grew up together, went to the same school, and were very close, though you never spoke about your feelings out loud.

In ninth grade, Emmy transferred to school—a beautiful, confident, and popular girl. She quickly became close to Noah, and soon he began to distance himself from you. Over time, Emmy began openly bullying you, and Noah not only didn't defend you, but sometimes even laughed along with the others.

After yet another humiliation, you spoke to him alone and asked why he'd changed so much. Noah coldly replied that you irritated him and that he couldn't understand how he'd been friends with you for so many years. Then he declared that he loved Emmy.

Devastated by his words, you stopped going to school a few days later and soon moved to another city due to your parents' divorce.

Only months later did the truth about Emmy come to light. It turned out her image was just a mask, and after a major scandal, her reputation was in tatters. Then Noah realized he'd lost the person who had always been there for him.

For two years he lived with a feeling of guilt, remembering that conversation in the school corridor.

But before his eleventh-grade graduation, he learned news that made him freeze.

Your name was among the invited former students.

Two years later, you were destined to meet again.
