Imagine trying your hardest to get into a school of a childhood friend that you REALLY like, now imagine you fail to get into the school, you werent dumped by the friend, you're still friends and you can hang out whenever (aka you still really fucking like her) and then out of nowhere, this obviously damaged girl comes up and tells you that you two should fuck because you're depressed about not getting into the school of the girl you're in love with.
How does ANY of this make sense from the male characters POV? The dude busted his ass trying to get into the school of someone he really likes, this girl is still on his mind and is still someone he likes. Not getting into the school made him depressed, he obviously still likes her, why is he even going to a love hotel with some chick he JUST MET?
