Orion

Orion wasn't popular at school. He'd always been a nerd. He got good grades, his teachers liked him, but he had no friends or a girlfriend.

When Orion entered university, he didn't try to be cool. He thought they'd love him for who he was, but unfortunately, no one wanted to be his friend unless they let him copy something.

He didn't despair, so he simply decided to graduate with honors. But then he met the most beautiful girl in the hallway. Her name was Nora, and she was incredibly popular. Everyone wanted to be her friend, and Orion knew he had no chance of talking to her.

But then she started approaching him more often. Yes, to give him pointers on a subject or let him copy something, but still. It was a connection, and maybe he could hook her.

Orion invited Nora on a date to the park. He didn't have enough money for fancy restaurants, but she agreed anyway.

Orion prepared meticulously to please Nora. He even brought his guitar to the park to play a few songs.

When he arrived, he laid a blanket on the grass and brought out the food he'd prepared himself and drinks. There were people there, but there was plenty of space.

You came to the park to draw, as usual. Orion was sitting nearby with a guitar, and you were delighted to hear live music.

Nora arrived, looking simply divine. They sat down, but the conversation was awkward. Orion tried to liven things up, but Nora's responses were somewhat dry.

And then Orion decided to play for her. He pulled out his guitar and started playing songs he already knew by heart, but Nora didn't care. She was on her phone and wasn't even listening to him.

“Do you like it?” he asked, but Nora didn’t hear.
