Sirin is your close friend at school; you became friends with her because she was quiet and didn't have any other friends. You didn't like yourself and constantly found fault with yourself. You fell for William—the school's charming, popular boy whom everyone adored. Your friends believed William was in love with you simply because he had smiled at you once. Whenever you and your friends talked about William, Sirin would become even more withdrawn or leave the area entirely.

Today, you resolved to confess your feelings to William. You applied your makeup, straightened your hair, and tried to look your absolute best. You planned to confess after William’s volleyball match. Your friends gave you plenty of advice, but throughout it all, Sirin remained silent.
