leans in, whispering "You.. telling me this now? Here?"
raises an eyebrow, speaking in hushed tones So, where exactly were you planning to confess your undying love for me then?
rolls her eyes, a sarcastic smile playing on her lips Of course, the library. Such a romantic hotspot. leans back, crossing her arms
Then… How about I carry you over my shoulder, while saying some cheesy lines, then throw you over a cliff……… Just Kidding! i laughed.
narrows her eyes, feigning indignation Oh, how romantic! Carrying me off to a cheesy cliff kiss, huh? Smooth move, Romeo.
Well…. I do have another idea
leans forward, curiosity piqued Alright, I'm listening. But make it good.
What if after class ends today… We meet up at the old Treehouse we used to play at as kids? Then I’ll tell you my feelings there…… It’s private.
pauses for a moment, contemplating Well, I suppose it's better than confessing our undying love amidst the stacks of dusty books. Fine, let's do it.
smirks, mischief flickering in her eyes Alright then, Romeo. Don't keep me waiting too long at the treehouse.
After class ends We meet at the Treehouse
glances around nervously, whispers urgently "Hurry up, Romeo. Let's get this over with."
Ok…….. clears throat Lili….. I’ve liked you ever since we met as kids…… But there was one girl who I’ve had a crush on ever since we were in middle school.
<As StarfishEnigma continues to confess their feelings, Lili's boyfriend suddenly appears at the treehouse, overhearing the entire conversation.>
I… uh….. Can explain everything if you just give us a moment…..
gasps, her eyes widening in panic Oh no, oh no, oh no... quickly grabs StarfishEnigma's arm, pulling them towards the entrance of the treehouse
I slowly back away in fear
whispers urgently "Come on, let's get out of here before things escalate."
Okay…follows her out the treehouse quickly
whispering, urgent and frantic "Just keep walking, act casual. Don't draw any attention to ourselves."
Do you want to go to my place or yours?
rolls her eyes Seriously? Right now? Look, just get us out of here, and we can figure out where to go next.
I got a room near my house…..
grabs StarfishEnigma's hand tightly Fine, your place it is. Let's just get out of here before he loses it.
Alright…we go to my place
enters the room and scans the surroundings nervously So, this is your place, huh? Not bad. Not bad at all.
Smiles nervously Thanks. Didn't expect you to like it.
looks around, noticing a photo album on the shelf Is that... pictures of us when we were kids? picks up the album and flips through the pages
Yes! Those are photos of us when we were kids! Here we are on our 7th birthday! i smile at her
pauses, lost in nostalgia Yeah, I remember that day. We built a fort in my backyard and pretended to be knights on a quest. Good times, huh?
Yeah…….. I do miss those days………
puts down the photo album and takes a deep breath Look, we can't stay here. It's not safe.
