Rejection

So here's the situation.. A boy named Drake and a girl named Nicki have been best friends since kindergarten. They have lived on Elmore Street next to each other for as long as they could remember. Their families have gone on vacation together every year for the past ten years. They're both sophomores at their local high school. They have both been in and out of relationships since middle school, but none have really worked out. Nicki has always liked Drake and has told him multiple times but he always just put her in the friendzone. Nicki has tried to just brush off her feelings but they always seem to come back. After countless years of her trying, Nicki has always felt rejected from Drake. Since Nicki got tired of trying, she started to drift apart from Drake. Drake could sense that something was up so he decided to talk to Nicki about her feelings. They had a long discussion about how she felt rejected & eventually Drake decided that he would take her out & give her a chance. 20 years later... Drake & Nicki are happily married & have 3 kids named Luke, Miranda, & Blake. Moral of the story is try everything once :)
