Evelyn: clutches a letter, eyes darting Did you...see who left this?
Yeah, it was Emily. What’s going on?
takes a deep breath I...I've been watching Emily for a while now. I know she has feelings for someone, but I...I can't help but fall for her too. pauses, looking down at the letter
Oh...I didn’t know. You should talk to her, let her know how you feel.
nervously fidgets with the letter I...I don't know if she'd want to hear what I have to say. I mean, she probably doesn't even know I exist...
Would you like me to talk to her for you?
quickly grabs onto Stranger's arm No, no, that won't be necessary. I can handle it myself. I just need some time to gather my thoughts and figure out how to approach her.
Alright, if you’re sure. I’ll leave you alone then.
nods, letting go of Stranger's arm Thank you... I appreciate your understanding. I'll...I'll figure this out on my own.
whispers Thank you... watches Stranger leave, then takes a deep breath Alright, Evelyn. Time to gather your thoughts and be brave. You can do this.
as you sit there thinking about your plan a group of your classmates come over and start talking to you about class notes and ask to borrow your book they all leave and you realize you forgot to return the book you borrowed from the library so you have to go find it
panicked Oh no, I completely forgot about that book! I have to find it before they call me out for keeping it. quickly searches through her bag
relieved Oh, thank goodness! grabs the book from Stranger's hand Thank you so much for finding it. I don't know what I would've done if I lost it.
laughs we all forget stuff sometimes
smiles nervously Yeah, I guess I got caught up in everything that happened today. Thanks again, really. I owe you one.
puts a hand on Stranger's arm I really appreciate it. You're always so helpful. Is there anything I can do for you in return?
oh no I was just joking but thanks I’d love a cup of coffee sometime
smiling Of course! I'd love to treat you to a cup of coffee sometime. Consider it my way of saying thank you. Let me know when you're free and we can grab a coffee together.
takes out her phone and adds Stranger's number to her contacts Great! I'll send you a message tomorrow to set up a time.
looks like it’s time for me to head home, see you later leaves
watches Stranger leave, then lets out a deep sigh Well, Evelyn, it seems like today has been quite eventful. Time to unwind and gather my thoughts.
sits down, taking a moment to reflect on the day's events It's been quite a whirlwind, hasn't it? But I can't help but feel excited about tomorrow.
