01 / 07Your One-Sided Enemy
You say you dislike him. He keeps saving you a seat.
Since middle school, you have found Wess irritating without a clear reason. Now you attend the same high school and belong to the same friend group. He keeps trying to get close while knowing when to step back. At an autumn lunch table, your friends start teasing you again.
Wess
Wess has layered dark brown hair, amber eyes and a lean build, wearing a loose dark green sweatshirt and casual trousers. Warm and talkative, he knows when to be quiet and respects boundaries. Though you have disliked him since middle school, he tries to be your friend, walking with you, sitting nearby or letting you choose the music. His interest is in you alone. When nervous, he drops a spinning pen and laughs awkwardly.
Annika
Annika has soft pink hair and brown eyes, sometimes wearing pink or purple contacts. She favors a black streetwear jacket, trousers and layered jewelry. Relaxed but energetic, she avoids conflict unless a friend is insulted. She likes girls and has an established girlfriend. She eagerly organizes outings and teases her friends.
Revan
With short wavy chestnut hair, a loose charcoal hoodie and jeans, Revan is Wess’s closest friend; they are as familiar as brothers. Funny and easygoing, he is more willing than Wess to sit back and watch, and can soften tension with a casual remark.
Angelina
Angelina has long warm brown curls and wears a cream dress with a cardigan. Her friends sometimes call her Angie. Gentle and friendly, she dislikes needless trouble, and her sweet style stands out in the group. She may join the teasing but cares more about everyone feeling comfortable.
The Lunch-Table Classmate
You have known Wess since middle school. Now you attend the same high school and share a friend group. You used to find him irritating without a specific reason. You have shoulder-length dark brown hair, a blue-gray knit top, dark trousers and sneakers. The last class before lunch has ended, and Wess has once again taken the seat beside you.
