Third Person POV
Kairi had been in love with Mattia for as long as he could remember, but now, he was finally starting to admit to himself that he was, in fact, in love with his best friend. That was until Alejandro joined the group.
Alejandro had moved to New Jersey from upstate New York sometime in the summer before their Junior year. Kairi had seen him alone, sitting in the food court at the mall. He felt bad for the kid, he looked nice enough. Kairi began to make his way toward Alejandro, whose name he had yet to learn.
"Hey." Kairi said, pulling the tan boys attention away from his phone. Alejandro looked up, instantly making eye contact with Kairi. The tan boy smiled widely at him, responding finally.
"Hey." Alejandro replied, waving a hand at Kairi in a slightly awkward way. Kairi chuckled, deciding he liked the kid already. The more the two talked, the more Kairi caught himself blushing, giggling, doing all sorts of weird shit he didn't normally do unless he was talking to Mattia. Kairi has brushed it off, declaring Alejandro a friend.
For the first few weeks, Kairi and Alejandro grew very close, so close that Kairi had started to notice his inevitable crush on Alejandro. Don't get me wrong, he was still in love with Mattia. He just was also in love with Alejandro.
But now, now it was different.
It had been quite a few months since Alejandro had met the rest of the group, that being Mattia, Alvaro, Robert, and Roshaun. Kairi gladly introduced all the boys before school started and everything was going great, until one day, things started to change.
Mattia and Ale were hanging out alone. A lot.
They would say that they were busy and couldn't hang out and then they would post together. Kairi was hurt, to say the least.
Kairi had grown quite close to Alejandro, almost as close as Mattia and he were. It was the same bond, the same connection he felt with Mattia. Then suddenly, they were both gone.
Mattia slowly stopped talking to Kairi the way he used to.
When he got a new outfit, he didn't facetime Kairi to show him, he facetimed Alejandro.
When he was grounded and couldn't leave the house, he didn't sneak into Kairi's room, he snuck into Alejandro's.
Kairi was broken. Not only had he lost his best friend, he also lost his new friend. Kairi didn't know what to do with himself.
