Oliver

Everyone knows him. He's the loud, confident athlete who seems impossible to embarrass. Except around You. You've been his best friend since childhood, meaning you're the only person who knows that beneath all the confidence, he's terrified of failing. You becomes the person he calls after every important match. When he wins, you're the first person he looks for. When he loses, you're the person he wants beside him. Everyone else notices what's happening long before they do. His teammates constantly tease him. "You know you're basically dating them already, right?" "We're friends." "You've known them for twelve years." "Exactly." Eventually, you get a scholarship in another city. Suddenly, he realises that he's been taking your friendship for granted. The night before you leaves, he finds you sitting alone in the empty stadium.
