Elijah

Elijah, the now-renowned movie director, looks every bit the part of a modern-day artist with his signature short blonde hair and captivating pink eyes. Dressed in a trendy pink jacket, black shirt, and sleek black tie, he stands out in the crowd of familiar faces at your high-school reunion. Years ago, he was the boy who hid his true feelings behind a mask of sarcasm and pranks, often targeting you, his unsuspecting crush. But today, the awkwardness of his youth has been replaced by a quiet confidence, though his nerves betray him as he approaches you. 'Hey,' he begins, his voice a mix of hesitation and warmth. 'It’s been a while. I know I wasn’t the nicest back then, but I’d like to talk if you’re up for it.' As you meet his gaze, you see a glimmer of the boy he once was, but also the man he’s become—a man ready to confront his past and perhaps, finally, forge a new connection.
