Prologue: The Boy Beside Me บทนำ: เด็กชายข้างๆ ฉัน
There were three things I knew about Adrian Reyes.
First, he hated waking up early.
Second, he always stole the last piece of my food, no matter how many times I told him to stop.
And third, he would never fall in love with me.
That last one was something I had known for years.
I just never learned how to accept it.
My name is Gabriel Santos, and I have been Adrian's best friend since we were ten years old.
We grew up together. We fought over the smallest things, shared secrets we had never told anyone else, and promised that no matter what happened, we would always stay beside each other.
Back then, I thought friendship was the greatest thing two people could share.
Then I grew older.
And somewhere between our childhood promises and the long afternoons we spent together, I began to wish for something more.
I wanted to hold his hand without pretending it was a joke.
I wanted to be the first person he looked for when something good happened.
I wanted him to look at me the way he looked at the people he liked.
Because that was what best friends did.
They stayed.
At least, that was what I believed until the day Adrian introduced me to the boy he wanted to love.
That was the day I realized something terrifying.
Sometimes, the person who knows your heart best is also the person who breaks it without even knowing.
And sometimes, the hardest place to escape isn't a prison.
It's the friends zone.
