From the outside, It seemed like Ayaanle was okay, right? The avoidance, the calm tone, the slow pace of response. Well, as anyone can guess, he wasn't. He was almost heartbroken by the thought of Tobi loving another, but he felt embarrassed by the selfish action.

Aj closed out of the groupchat and went to Spotify before playing his sad playlist on blast and laying back on his bed.

Kenny, his best friend and one of his roommates, knocked on the door and opened it, poking his head in. "Aye bro are you okay?" He asked as he looked at his friend. From the looks of it, he didn't really look too good.

"He likes someone else Kenny..." Aj mumbled as he lifted his head up to look at his best friend. "I missed my shot..." He said as he leaned back on his bed.

"oh...well I mean don't beat yourself over it. There's plenty of other guys and women out there who you could go for." He said as he fully entered the room and sat down next to Aj on his bed.

"But that's the thing Kenny...I don't want them. I want him." Aj said in a defeated tone as he lifted himself up and leaned against his headboard. "I guess my chance is lo-hold on." He was cut off by the sound of his notifications going off, quickly picking it up and sighing. "I'll be fine tho, just give me a bit cause he just texted me."

"Alright Aj, I'll be in my room if you need me....and let me know what he said later on" He said as he got up from the bed and walked back out of his room, closing the door behind him.

The notifications came from Tobi, who quickly realized his mistake and began to be worried about the younger male.
