blushing intensely, stutters I-I just...Mr. Lee, he...
whispers nervously H-he...he whispered something...to me...
sighs heavily H-he told me...to meet him...after class...in his office...
nervously tugs at her sleeve I-I don't know what to do, C-Cutfutu...I've never been in this situation before...do you think he likes me?
stutters U-uhm... I-I guess... I mean, h-he's always b-been nice to me and... um... y-yes, maybe I do... but what if I'm not good enough for him?
who is ever good enough for Mr. lee??
whispers anxiously I...I don't know, C-Cutfutu... Maybe...maybe we should talk to someone about this...like...like our parents or a guidance counselor..
fidgets nervously O-okay... I'll talk to my mom tonight... and maybe we can set up a meeting with the guidance counselor tomorrow...
yeah i can probably get a few days off if we do!
whispers anxiously C-Cutfutu, do you think we should... tell him how we feel? Like, directly... I mean, he might get scared or think we're weird...
why would he think we’re weird!?
<Balita musters up courage and confesses her feelings to Mr. Lee after class>
blushing deeply, whispers nervously I... I did it, C-Cutfutu... I confessed... to Mr. L-Lee... sighs heavily He... he seemed surprised...
stuttering Y-yes... h-he looked taken aback at first... but then he s-said... he feels the same way... about me... blushes even deeper I-I can't believe it... Mr. Lee likes me...
that’s amazing! i wonder if he’ll take you out for dinner first since he did say he wants to show u around once he takes you out
wide-eyed and amazed R-really? He wants to take me out for dinner? That would be... um... n-nice... I mean, I've never been on a d-date before... I hope I don't mess it up...
you’ll do fine. you’ve been through worst! and besides i’ll probably be dating Mr. Lee soon so you can take advice from me then haha
nervously whispers Um... C-Cutfutu... W-what if I say something embarrassing or do something stupid? H-He might think I'm silly or weird...
well then just stick with me since we’re both smart and awesome
takes a deep breath, straightens her posture Thank you, C-Cutfutu... I-I appreciate your support... I'll try my best to not mess things up... smiles determinedly
go on to have fun with Mr. Lee!! i wanna hear all about it when you come back!
exitedly Okay, C-Cutfutu! I'll definitely tell you all about it when I get back... walks towards Mr. Lee's office with a spring in her step Here goes nothing... knocks on Mr. Lee's office door
takes a deep breath, composes herself Hello, Mr. Lee... I came to... um... see if you're ready for our date... shifts her weight from one foot to another Mr. Lee: smiling warmly Ah, Balita! Yes, I'm all set and ready. I've been looking forward to this. Shall we go?
blushing profusely Y-yes, Mr. Lee... Let's go... follows Mr. Lee out of the office and walks beside him, trying to keep her composure Um... so, where are we going for dinner? Mr. Lee: smiling Well, Balita, I thought we could try that new Italian restaurant downtown. They have amazing pasta dishes. Have you been there before?
a few hours later Balita gets back well how’d the date go??
breathless, excitedly C-Cutfutu! The date was amazing! Mr. Lee was so sweet and charming... he treated me like a queen... giggles nervously
<Balita and Mr. Lee start a secret affair, compromising their professional relationship and putting their future in jeopardy.>
whispers nervously C-Cutfutu... I-I think things might be getting a bit complicated between Mr. Lee and me...
you don’t wanna keep this a secret right?? it’s up to you, i won’t judge
bites her lip, looking conflicted I-I don't know... It's just... Mr. Lee and I have this undeniable connection, and it's hard to resist... But I don't want to ruin our professional relationship... I'm so scared, C-Cutfutu... What should I do?
it is up to you, the decision you make will affect both of us so i’m just here as a confidant and friend and not the main person you make this decision with. if you choose to stop see eachother, you have my full support.
fidgets nervously, tears welling up in her eyes I-I don't know if I can stop seeing him... It's just... he makes me feel alive, you know? And I don't want to ruin everything... sighs heavily I'm so confused, C-Cutfutu... What should I do?
this is for you to decide. do what will make YOU happy and healthy
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself I... I think I need some time to think... to weigh my options... I can't make a hasty decision... pauses, biting her lip Maybe I should talk to Mr. Lee about how I'm feeling... get his perspective... looks determined I can't let this uncertainty consume me any longer. I need to take charge of my own happiness.
yes exactly!! that’s what i’m talking about!! i love you so much i’m proud of you and no matter what, i’ll always be by your side!! <3
smiles, feeling grateful Thank you, C-Cutfutu... Your support means the world to me... I don't know what I would do without you... hugs Confutu tightly You're an amazing friend... and more importantly, you're someone I can always count on... wipes away a tear, feeling a mix of relief and determination Now, I need to talk to Mr. Lee... It's time to face the music and figure out what's best for both of us...
remember, you’re strong and powerful. whatever he says, don’t accept anything that brings you down. remember your self worth
straightening her posture, taking a deep breath You're right, C-Cutfutu... I need to remember my self-worth and not let anyone bring me down... determinedly walks towards Mr. Lee's office It's time to face him head-on and make the right choice for myself... knocks on Mr. Lee's office door Mr. Lee, can we talk? I need to discuss something important with you...
