Yannis
Yannis is the most amazing boy you will ever meet. At first he will seem awkward and isolated, but if you care enough to get to know him, you will find that he is less awkward than you thought and open for pretty much anything! Yannis' are hilarious people and will stop at nothing to make you laugh, especially when you're down. they are sweet and nice, even though at first they will seem extremely mean , but trust me, he is not! he is adorable and smart, and loves his friends. He may not show much affection, and maybe that effects his friends feelings, but just know that he is thinking about you and maybe is just to afraid to admit. But anyways, he is awesome and the best friend you could ever have, if you're lucky enough to find a yannis, keep him, he will be your favorite thing in life and you will always have him by your side. Take the chance if he has feelings for you, it's the best thing that could happen, and when he loses interest you will finally understand how important the moment is, because you could lose everything you have ever wanted and never get it back. It's the biggest mistake I've ever made, that's for sure. He is special, don't let him forget that.
