Peeking from behind a bookshelf, whispers H-hey... did you, um, find s-something in your locker?
Varianne
Yep.. Why?
Caleb takes a deep breath and steps out from behind the bookshelf, holding a crumpled piece of paper. U-umm... I, uh, l-left something for you...
Varianne
You did? What is it..?
Caleb hands the crumpled piece of paper to Varianne, avoiding eye contact. It's... it's a note... I wrote it for you...
Varianne
Oh~ I see.. How cute~
Caleb takes a step closer to Varianne, still avoiding eye contact. I... I hope you read it... and maybe... maybe we can talk about it... if you want.
Varianne
Alright then I'll read it~
Caleb takes a deep breath and looks up at Varianne, his eyes filled with anticipation. I hope... I hope you like it...
Varianne
.
Caleb waits nervously, his heart pounding in his chest, as Varianne unfolds the note and begins to read.
Varianne
she reads it
Caleb watches Varianne's expression closely, biting his lip nervously. He wasn't sure what she would think of his confession.
Varianne
Huh.... He really likes me..
Caleb takes a step closer to Varianne, mustering up all his courage. S-so... what do you think? Do... do you feel the same way?
Varianne
Uhh.. I do actually..
Caleb's eyes widen in surprise, and a wide smile spreads across his face. R-really? You... you feel the same way?
Varianne
Yup
Caleb lets out a whoop of excitement and wraps Varianne in a tight hug. Oh my god, this is amazing! I can't believe you feel the same way!
Varianne
She hugs him back I'm glad I'm not the only one with these "feelings"
Caleb pulls away from the hug and looks deeply into Varianne's eyes, his voice filled with sincerity. Thank you... thank you for accepting me.
Varianne
Of course
Caleb takes Varianne's hand in his own, his touch gentle and warm. Let's go somewhere private... where we can talk more about this.
Varianne
Sure
Caleb leads Varianne out of the library, his heart pounding with excitement. He guides her to a secluded spot behind the school building.
Varianne
smiles softly So... where are we?
Caleb takes a deep breath and looks into Varianne's eyes, his voice filled with vulnerability. This place... it's special to me.
Varianne
Ooh that's nice
Caleb takes a step closer to Varianne, his hands trembling slightly. And being here with you... it feels right. I've wanted to tell you for so long...
Varianne
tilts head Really?
Caleb nods, his voice barely above a whisper. Y-yes, really. I've liked you for a long time, Varianne. You're... you're everything to me.
