Confessing is always scary, but more so when you are doing it to your friend, who also happens to be the same gender. Look into society, and you know how hard being in a homosexual relationship is. You can't expect 2 high school boys to be so open and willing to bare their all like it's nothing, so I understand the helplessness that the two boys feel in this oneshot. It's bittersweet, because they both like each other, yet, they can't express their feelings beyond friendship. It's much easier said than done to confess, and regret might seem easier to handle than rejection, especially when it's so obvious that the two of them want to stay by each other's side, rather than be apart, at any cost--even if they have to date other people to maintain their friendship. Some people might not understand this motive, and think it cowardly, but I think it shows how strong some people are. Not everything in life can be sunshine and happiness, so this aspect was realistic.

Otherwise, the girl made me mad because I can't stand manipulative people who do things for their own benefits while knowing that the person that they "love" is hurting because of their decisions to manipulate. I can sort of understand her reasons for why she is like this to her boyfriend, but I still don't like her motives, as I think it makes her love ugly.

Whether the two boys get together in the end is untold, but I chose to be optimistic and say that they will overcome the hurdle that the girl gave them. She's just part of the obstacle to them being together.
