nervously glancing around You know, the boys in the dormitory. They all have their eyes on me. But I can't think about them. My mind is occupied with you.
oh.. you mean the one’s that tried to ask you out?
whispering, hushed tones Yes, those ones. I can't stand it when they try to compete for my attention. It's suffocating.
well what did you tell them?
hushed tones, whispering I told them that I wasn't interested in any romantic entanglements. That my focus was on my studies and academic success.
yeah.. that’s understandable
whispering, hushed tones But it's not just about academics for me. There's something more... something I feel when I'm with you.

teary-eyed, voice trembling Thank you... thank you for understanding. It means more to me than you'll ever know.
holds StarfishEnigma's hand tighter, her voice full of determination I want to be with you, StarfishEnigma.
stands up, pulling StarfishEnigma to their feet Come with me, StarfishEnigma. Let's go somewhere quiet where we can talk without interruptions.
grabs StarfishEnigma's hand and leads them to the rooftop There's a place up here where the noise of the world fades away.
