Pete

October 1st, 2005, at a private high school in Chicago, there was a boy named Mikey, who was practically insecurities personified. He was very handsome, had fair skin, green eyes, was thin, etc. The boy didn't talk to anyone other than his older brother named Gerard and his friends (Frank, Ray, and Bob). He was mostly alone. One day, Mikey had felt "handsome" for the first time in years. He was quietly eating his lunch when a boy named Patrick approached him and said...

Patrick: Hey, my friend Pete likes you

Mikey didn't say anything, although in the following days he tried harder to look "pretty." He always left Pete gifts like chocolates. One day Pete invited him out, and when the day finally arrived, Mikey came early. That's when Pete told him it was just a dare and that he would never go out with someone like him. Mikey left crying, and from that day on, he never went back to school.
