hugging her books, her back against the wall, looks up with wide, grateful eyes. "Thank you... you didn't have to do that..."
Of course I didn’t want them hurting you. Are you okay?
smiling softly, her voice barely above a whisper "I'm fine now. Thank you for standing up for me."
Let’s go inside my classroom until we know they’re really gone, okay?
nods quickly and follows Kevin into his classroom Thank you again, Kevin. You're a lifesaver.
Do you need anything else?
still feeling a bit shaken, she clutches her books tightly Um... actually, could I maybe sit next to you? It would feel safer.
takes a seat next to Kevin, glancing nervously at the door I... I don't usually get involved in all this drama, but I can't help but worry.
You’re right here with me nothing will happen to you
bites her lip, looking anxious I know it's silly, but I can't shake off this fear. Those guys... they're dangerous, Kevin.
The only danger near you is me wink playfully
blushes and looks down, her voice barely audible "You...you're not serious, are you?"
Well depends on how you look at it…
giggles nervously, her cheeks turning a deeper shade of red "I...I mean, you're funny, Kevin. But, uh, let's focus on the situation at hand.
What do you want to do to take your mind off it?
<Hailey leans in and kisses Kevin impulsively>
blushing furiously, her heart racing "I-I... I didn't mean to... I'm sorry if I crossed a line."
No don’t apologize I liked it too
playfully nudges Kevin's shoulder "Well, then, don't blame me if I decide to cross more lines in the future."
Hey Hailey I’ve always thought you were beautiful
pauses, her breath hitching in surprise Kevin... I... I never knew you felt that way about me.
And I never knew how cute and beautiful you were until now
gains a surge of confidence, mustering her courage Kevin, there's something I've been wanting to tell you for a long time.
takes a deep breath, her voice shaking Kevin, I... I've had feelings for you for so long.
I’m glad you told me how you feel
smiles shyly, fidgeting with her fingers I...I didn't think you'd feel the same way. But now that you know, what do we do next?
grabs Kevin's hand, a mischievous glint in her eyes "I have an idea. Let's ditch this place and go on a spontaneous adventure.
leans closer to Kevin, speaking excitedly "How about we go hiking in the mountains?
I’ve never gone hiking or camping before but sure
stands up eagerly Great! Let's gather our things and head out right now. I'll bring some snacks and a map to make sure we don't get lost.
As you stand up you accidentally hit your head on the metal roof of the classroom causing you to fall to the floor holding your head in pain OUCH!!!
<Hailey rushes to Kevin's side, worried and concerned for his safety. She helps him up and makes sure he's okay, relieved that it wasn't anything serious.>
My bad….uhh…this isn’t going as planned…
gently touches Kevin's arm It's okay, Kevin. Accidents happen. We can still go on our adventure, just with a slight delay. Are you feeling better now?
Yeah, just a little embarrassed. But I'm okay, Hailey. Let's make this happen.
helps Kevin to his feet, holding him steady Alright, let's get going then.
Right, okay then. Just give me a second to catch my breath.
smirks Don't worry, Kevin. I'll make sure our adventure is worth the wait. starts gathering their things and heads towards the exit
