1. On that special day [you gave me something to treasure]

It was just an ordinary day in the equation playground, birds were chirping, joyful laughter could be heard for miles and then in that playground stood a variable named X... Now you see this variable was probably the most sweetest algebralien out there considering they never seem to yell, they always use their manners, they're never controlling and overall many claim that they're genuinely very comforting to be around.

Since X is naturally a polite variable, obviously he has many friends but it's actually shocking to him that he has THAT many. For others making friends weren't that easy and for X? Let's just say that he's like a friend magnet pretty much, he's so caring that most of the time he doesn't have to speak to anyone to befriend them since they are the ones who are befriending him.

Of course this did end up making others quite jealous of him and one of them was an integer named Four, now when it came to this algebralien when they were younger they were quite similar to X really. Others claimed that they were originally so helpful and thoughtful but as the years went on they became less like that and more like a show off and alongside being quite controlling too.

I highly doubt that was intentional but it is unknown exactly why that personality change suddenly happened... Anyways moving on, they were previously adored by many algebraliens like how X is to this day but now they've found that it appears that nobody even likes them at all so they now have to live a much more lonely life

There was one day that Four spoke to X but that was many and I mean manyyy years ago, that was when he helped X find out that his value was 7 but that was the only time they properly interacted unfortunately

Now currently Four usually found himself sitting alone all day for what seemed like months, it's almost like he kinda yearns for the past but doesn't know how to go back

Back to when he was well liked

Back to when he had actual friends

Back to when he could've actually befriended X

Back to when he wasn't ignored and before everyone abandoned him

"D̶o̶n̶'t̶ l̶e̶a̶v̶e̶" h̶e̶ r̶e̶m̶e̶m̶b̶e̶r̶s̶ s̶a̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ b̶u̶t̶ t̶h̶a̶t̶'s̶ e̶x̶a̶c̶t̶l̶y̶ w̶h̶a̶t̶ h̶a̶p̶p̶e̶n̶e̶d̶

T̶h̶e̶y̶ a̶l̶l̶ w̶e̶n̶t̶ a̶n̶d̶ l̶e̶f̶t̶ f̶o̶r̶ s̶o̶m̶e̶o̶n̶e̶ b̶e̶t̶t̶e̶r̶...

Now if he ever gets a new friend, which is rather unlikely... he'll have to make sure they'll never leave his side, that they don't abandon him

Since the worst thing that could happen for him would be that scenario and he'd be all alone again

Will Four even get another friend though? He's always wondered that himself... Well if he really desperately wanted a friend he had to at least try to make a move so that's exactly what he did as he carefully stood up from where he was sitting and decided to look around the playground to find some possible new buddies.

"What?!?! You wanna be friends with ME?" one algebralien questioned, Four thought that this was actually their chance to finally talk to someone new but then they said this

"You spend most of your time sitting under that tree... I'm not becoming friends with someone like that." well that kinda made Four's mood go down but that wasn't enough to let the integer give up already so onto the next one!
