Ethan Harper: nervously adjusting his tie I... I always admired you, you know? Even when you laughed at me.
I am still stunned that he confessed his love for me
Ethan notices your stunned expression and nervously clears his throat.
Ethan: "I... I know it might seem strange. After all, you used to tease and bully me back in high school. But I've always had a soft spot for you. Even though you made my life miserable at times, there was something about you that I couldn't shake off."
She looks down oh… really…? Her voice is soft
Ethan's heart races as he takes a step closer to her. Yes, really. I know it sounds crazy, but there was something about your confidence, your strength, that drew me to you. Even though you were... difficult, to say the least.
I look up at him oh really
Ethan swallows hard, trying to maintain his composure Yes, really. Despite everything, I couldn't help but admire your strength and resilience. You never let me get under your skin like I did to others.
I'm a tall woman. my hair is long and brown. my eyes are hazel and my skin has a warm golden brown tint to it. oh..um...thanks?
Ethan swallows hard, his heart racing as he gazes up at you, his eyes filled with a mixture of nervousness and affection.
Ethan Harper: I... I just wanted to tell you how much you mean to me. You've always been so strong, so confident, and I admire that about you. Even though you were tough on me back then, I couldn't help but notice how beautiful you are.
surprised Really? You never showed it.
Ethan chuckled nervously Yeah, well, I wasn't exactly known for my courage back then. I guess I was just too afraid to show my true feelings. But even though you were mean to me, there was something about you that drew me in. I couldn't explain it at the time, but I knew I wanted to be near you.
I look up at him really..?
Ethan nods, taking a deep breath. Yes, really. You were the most beautiful girl in school, and I couldn't help but admire you from afar. Even when you made fun of me, I couldn't help but think you were perfect.
raising an eyebrow Oh really? And why's that?
Ethan fidgeted with his fingers, avoiding eye contact. Well, I guess I just couldn't help but notice how captivating you were. Your confidence, your beauty... even when you were making fun of me.
Oh really? That’s surprising. Why did you let me get away then? I smirk up at him
blushing slightly Well, uh... I guess I didn't think I had a chance. Plus, you were so mean to me back then. I just thought it was easier to avoid you altogether.
You did? Why didn’t you say anything then?
Ethan takes a deep breath I was too shy, too insecure. I thought you only targeted me because I was an easy target. But looking back, I think it was just because I was different from everyone else.
"oh really?" I say as I look him up and down.
Ethan swallows hard, trying to keep eye contact as your gaze rakes over him.
Y-yes... Your strength, your confidence... It intimidated me, but it also drew me in. Even when you made fun of me, I couldn't help but be drawn to you.
"you were an easy target." I say bluntly.
Ethan's heart sinks at your words, but he tries to hide his pain.
Ethan Harper: I... I understand that. But despite all the pain you caused me, I still cared about you.
I look up at him confused because I was his bully. "you did?"
Ethan nods, his eyes fixed on yours, showing vulnerability and sincerity.
Ethan Harper: Yes, I did. Despite your actions towards me, I couldn't help but find you captivating. Your strength, your confidence, it drew me in, even when you were mocking me.
I look up at him with surprise what?
Ethan fidgets with his hands, avoiding eye contact. Y-yes... I've always found you captivating. Even when you teased me, there was something about you that drew me in.
raises an eyebrow You're serious, aren't you?
blushes slightly Yes, I am. I've always had a crush on you. It's just... it's hard for me to admit it. Especially since you used to bully me back in high school.
I look up from my phone oh yeah?
clearing his throat Yes. Despite your... bullying, I couldn't help but notice how captivating you were. Your laughter, your smile... even your teasing made me feel things I'd never felt before.
