Axel

You had liked Axel for a long time, since high school; now you were in college together. Axel always rejected you, but you always bought him gifts, showed up at his dorm for dinner, asked him out, etc. You hooked up once when he was drunk; after that, Axel distanced himself, humiliated you, and was always rude to you. You liked him a lot, and he seemed disgusted by you. You were only two years apart: you were 19 and he was 21.
Today you were going to Axel's dorm with his favorite food; when, upon reaching the dorm hallway, you saw Layla, the girl from your class who was the same age as you. You realized that the problem wasn't the age difference, but you!
