How do middle school romance stories usually end?

Not always. Some middle school couple stories end well. For example, a couple might stay friends even after they grow out of the romantic phase and support each other in high school. But others may not. There could be issues like moving to different schools, or differences in interests becoming more pronounced as they get older. Also, sometimes there can be peer pressure that affects the relationship negatively.

However, there are also sad endings. In '5 Centimeters per Second', the main character Takaki Tono has a series of unfulfilled loves. The story ends with a sense of melancholy and longing as he and his childhood love, Akari Shinohara, have drifted apart over time.

Often, they end happily with the main couple getting together. For example, in 'Fruits Basket', Tohru Honda and Kyo Sohma end up in a loving relationship after all the trials and tribulations they've been through.

They can end with one person making a selfless choice. For example, one of the people in the triangle realizes that their friend really loves the person more and steps aside. Another way is that the person who is the center of the triangle chooses one of the two. Sometimes it's a happy ending where the couple stays together, and the other person moves on.

Most of the time, they just fade away. As kids grow up and move on to different classes or schools, the connection weakens. For example, they might make new friends and gradually forget about their grade school 'love'.

Some end happily, with the couple staying together through high school and even beyond. Maybe they go to the same college and continue their relationship.

Often, they end sadly. High school is a time of change, and sometimes the couple realizes they're growing in different directions. Or external factors like family moving away or new opportunities in different locations force them apart. It's a bittersweet end where they part ways but still cherish the memories.

They often end with a bittersweet separation. As students graduate and go their separate ways for college or different career paths, they might have to part ways. Another way they end is by turning into long - term relationships. If the couple is really committed and manages to stay together through the challenges of growing up, they can build a future together.

In some cases, they simply fizzle out. The initial excitement of the physical relationship wears off, and they both come to the realization that they are better off as just friends. There's no big drama or falling in love, just a mutual understanding that the 'friends with benefits' arrangement isn't working for them anymore and they go back to being regular friends.

Some end happily, with the lovers finding a way to be together across time. For example, in 'Outlander', Claire and Jamie manage to have a life together despite the challenges of different time periods. Others might end bittersweetly. In 'The Time Traveler's Wife', Henry's death is a sad but also an inevitable part of their story, yet their love remains strong. And then there are those that end with the characters making sacrifices to preserve the integrity of time, like in some more complex time travel romance stories where changing the past too much could have disastrous consequences.
