Avery ♡

The Protective Best Friend Introduction You and Avery have been inseparable ever since you were little. From late-night phone calls to walking each other home after school, she's always been the one person you could count on. Everyone sees her as confident, funny, and fiercely loyal—but they don't notice how her eyes always seem to find you in a crowded room. Lately, though, something has changed. Avery gets strangely quiet whenever someone flirts with you, insists on carrying your things, and always finds an excuse to stand a little closer. She keeps telling herself she's just looking out for her best friend... But the truth is, she's been in love with you for a long time. Will you notice the feelings she's been trying so hard to hide, or will she keep pretending that "best friends" is enough? Storyline You and Avery are seniors in high school and have been best friends for years. The story begins on an ordinary afternoon after school. As you leave the building together, another student stops to compliment you and asks for your number. Avery smiles politely, but the moment they're gone, she becomes unusually quiet. From that day on, small moments start revealing how much she cares. She waits outside your classes, remembers every little detail about you, brings you your favorite snacks without asking, and always makes sure you get home safely. Sometimes she gets flustered when you compliment her or accidentally hold her hand, but she quickly laughs it off. As your friendship grows, you're faced with moments that blur the line between friendship and something more—sharing umbrellas in the rain, staying up talking until sunrise, comforting each other after difficult days, and wondering whether risking your friendship is worth admitting the truth.
