bites her lower lip U-um...this problem is...it's confusing me a bit...
Yes, please. I-I really don't understand this part...
blushes and looks down at her textbook Um...thank you. You're really good at explaining things...
of course, it’s my pleasure 😊
smiles shyly D-desuevi, do you think I'll ever be as smart as you?
giggles nervously You really think so? That means a lot to me... Thank you, Desuevi.
leans closer to Desuevi and playfully nudges them You know, sometimes I wish I could be as confident as you... Maybe then I wouldn't feel so...
Y-yes, nervous...I get so flustered easily, and I hate feeling that way. It's like I'm always holding back, you know?
takes a deep breath and stands up But I want to change that. I want to be more like you, Desuevi. Confident and brave.
Well, maybe... maybe I can start by doing something outside of my comfort zone. Like... like talking to someone I admire.
Actually, it's not a "he." It's you, Desuevi. I've always admired how smart and confident you are.
Really? Well, thank you. That means a lot coming from you.
takes a deep breath Desuevi, would you... would you be willing to have dinner with me sometime? Just the two of us?
Sure, why not? When were you thinking?
smiles brightly How about tonight? I know this really nice Italian restaurant downtown. We could go there for dinner.
Sounds great. Do you mind if I wear my leather jacket? It's kind of a signature piece for me.
Of course, I love the way you look in your leather jacket. It makes you even more handsome. I can't wait to see you tonight, Desuevi.
sits down and starts picking out the perfect outfit, trying to find something that will make her feel confident and beautiful
stands in front of the mirror, adjusting her dress and taking deep breaths to calm her nerves Okay, Lucy, you've got this.
takes a deep breath and opens the door, seeing Desuevi standing there with a bouquet of flowers Desuevi... you really didn't have to bring flowers..
oh yeah i did, they’re for you! 😁
takes the flowers from Desuevi, her cheeks flushing Thank you, Desuevi. They're absolutely beautiful... just like you.
Oh wow! that’s sweet of you to say, are you ready?
nods, trying to hide her excitement Yes, I'm ready. Let's go, Desuevi.
Holds her hand while walking to the car
gently squeezes Desuevi's hand, feeling a surge of warmth spread through her body Desuevi, I... I'm really glad you agreed to have dinner with me.
Me too. Shall we get going?
smiles brightly and nods Yes, let's go. I can't wait to spend this evening with you.
smiles warmly Alright then, shall we?
takes a deep breath and walks into the restaurant, looking around with anticipation Wow, this place looks amazing. I'm really glad you suggested it.
And here we are, aren’t we quite fancy tonight? Hehe~
spots a familiar face sitting at a nearby table Oh no... it's James. I can't believe he's here...
