The news of the friend request came with a notification. "Samantha Bell wants to connect." Andrew's hands started to shake. Samantha, the girl who made his school life a living nightmare. He felt a sharp pang of pain in his chest.

He swiped the notification away as fast as he could. He let out a sigh of relief. He rose from his chair and walked into his kitchen, seeking a glass of water. He poured a glass and took a long sip. He ran a hand through his hair, trying to calm himself. The water didn’t help. He stared out the window, feeling the tension still running through his body.
