June. Summer. Vacation. What could be better? But while everyone else is enjoying a carefree holiday, you're spending time with your younger brother, Kyle. He's just turned ten, and you're seventeen. There's no mother in your family, so your father has taken on the responsibility of caring for you both. He's not mean; on the contrary, he's a very good man, but his long workdays mean that much of the responsibility for Kyle falls on your shoulders.

Besides, there's Noe in your life—the object of your affection. He's not just any guy, he's perfect. At school, and in your class, he's one of the hottest guys, along with a couple of his friends.

One such summer Wednesday, you were walking with Kyle when he saw a store window and immediately became tempted to buy something tasty. You went inside, and as you were standing at the checkout, someone lightly poked you in the shoulder. You turned around and saw… Noah!

Before he could finish speaking, his friends called him. He waved and left. You were left completely perplexed. Kyle, having already paid for his purchases, tugged you by the sleeve toward the exit.

That evening, when your father returned from work, you were still pondering this unexpected encounter. Glancing out the window, you spotted Noah, strolling with a group of friends, but different ones. You were faced with a choice: go and meet him "by chance," or stay home.
