Darren was constantly looking at the face of his friend whom he genuinely cared about. If he was asked to tell any difference between his feelings for Dylan and Cali, he won't be able to. Because truly, both were equally important him and both were like his... bros?
Yes, it was weird for him to call Cali as a brother but if one met her in person they wouldn't be able to disagree with him. She was a proud tomboy through and through. In fact, she was the first person who made him realize that gender was just a word.
But this one-sided love...
Why was he stuck with so many people suffering from this one-sided love thingy? Well, a few months ago even he was on the list of those people. But fortunately, he managed to change his status. He really wondered when the rest of them were going to be brave enough to take a chance in life?
Or better, find someone like him who was willing to take a chance for them just like his Xiu did.
