"Flash forward"

When I first met him he had made it completely clear he did not like me, at all, but the next thing I knew he was suddenly acting all nice and now he's part of our group of friends. Seriously, even my boyfriend likes him. He irritates me so much though, only a month ago he came walking in to our city and he already acts like he's a real Venice guy. But is it all just an act or is he really like this, because I know there are things he doesn't tell us and I just can't seem to figure him out.

(something I started on back in 2018, the first 'real' story I ever started writing)
