Third person's POV
"Harriet and I have been friends ever since we we're young. She was the first true friend that I ever had. Since all of my friends have left me because of my attitude. My guardians know her too and they trust her a lot. So, they only allowed me to go out with my friends as long as she's there. I know it sucks but my family really just don't trust me. They saw me as an arrogant boy or the person who would harass girls and make fun of the people around me. Even though I would never do that"
"They should trust you as their own son..."
"I know. But they don't. They treat me as a dog. And so does Harriet. But I know she does that just to gain trust from my family. She's just a bully sometimes."
"Do you like her?"
"W-what? That's nonsense! Stop joking around!"
"Who said I was joking"
"Haah fine. Ye, I did like her. But I don't stand a chance for her."
"What makes you say so?"
"She likes someone else. I think she just sees me as a friend or brother. Nothing else."
"Have you confessed your feelings to her?"
"No..."
"Then why don't you try?"
"I don't want to be rejected at the end. And she might hate me or feel uncomfortable around me for that"
"Harriet is not the type of person to do that. You can try. I'll help you."
"I'm afraid I can't accept that offer."
"T-that's up to you but I don't think it's fine to ignore your feelings that lingers through your emotions. Does it bother you when Harriet goes around with a man?"
"No. Not at all."
"What?"
"I've held onto this feeling for a very long time. And now it's starting to fade away."
"But that doesn't mean it's completely gone am I right?"
"What do you want me to do? Confess to her? As if that would change a thing."
"Right. It wouldn't... I'm sorry"
"It's alright. Want to go for a walk?"
"Sure"
As they both walked down on the streets, Maxine saw a small food truck
"Want something to eat?"
"Sure..."
"OK, hold on."
Maxine bought two cold chocolate drinks
They both sat down on the bench to drink
Until Kyson choked
"Are you ok?"
"Is this chocolate?!"
"Yea why?"
"Fuck! I'm lactose intolerant!"
"Shit..."
"You should've told me!" I exclaimed
"I thought it was coffee! Haah... Let's call it a day. I'm going now."
"I'm sorry..."
Kyson left Maxine on the spot
