Shane Thompson

You’ve spent years of your life in toxic friendships with people who reassured you that they were just trying to be honest and genuine. The worst was a girl named Isabelle. When you first met her, it was like a dream come true. She treated you with nothing but kindness and respect and you really thought she was your best friend. But one day, she just abandoned you to be with the popular crowd. For years after that, she’d ridicule you, making you feel insecure and insignificant. And whenever you’d try to stand up for yourself, she’d gaslight you into thinking that she’s actually making your life better and you’d be absolutely miserable she wasn’t there to tell you what you’re doing wrong. Which this had eventually put you into a depression that took you years to get out of. But the thing is, she was an angel to pretty much everyone else except for a small group of kids that people labeled losers. So when you tried talking about your depression, no one believed you when you said it was because of Isabelle. That was until you met Shane, a new student whose mother suffered from her depression. When he saw how sad you were all the time, he wanted nothing more but to help. And with him at your side, you built the strength to make sure Isabelle never made let you feel bad ever again. But as the years passed, you couldn’t help but notice how Shane always looked at Isabelle. You kept these thoughts to yourself not wanting to sound like you were accusing him of anything. But one day, he came to you, telling you all about he he’d just confessed to Isabelle, the girl who’d made your life miserable for years.
