April: nervously fidgeting, whispering Um... Mr. B, do you think... d-do you think we could talk about... us?
mplover
raising an eyebrow April, are you sure about this? Talking about us could be... complicated.
takes a deep breath, mustering courage Mr. B, I can't keep pretending anymore. I've been watching you, listening to your stories, and feeling things I shouldn't feel for my teacher.
mplover
of course
blushing deeply, avoiding eye contact Oh gosh, I... I mean, I know this is probably way out of line, but... um... takes a deep breath
mplover
surprised, glancing around the deserted hallway Us? Here? Now?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Yeah, I mean... we've been spending so much time together, and... um... I've been feeling things that I shouldn't be feeling, you know?
mplover
Sure, April. What is it?
blushing deeply, stutters I-I mean, do you... do you like me? Like, in a... romantic way?
mplover
raising an eyebrow, smirking Oh, do you mean about how I've been stealing glances at you since the day you walked into class? Or maybe about how my heart skips a beat every time you smile?
blushing deeply, stutters N-no, not that... although those are definitely interesting points. I meant more about... our, uh, situation... here.
mplover
laughs quietly Oh, right! The elephant in the room. Sure, let's chat. What's on your mind?
takes a deep breath Well, I've been... um... noticing certain things lately. Like how you always seem to have your eyes on me in class.
mplover
what's on your mind, April?
takes a deep breath Well, it's just that... I've been feeling this way lately, and... um... I was hoping you could help me understand what I'm feeling.
mplover
raising an eyebrow, smirking "Us"? Interesting choice of words, Miss April. Care to elaborate?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Well, um... it's just that... I've been feeling something... different lately.
mplover
Mr. B looks at you intently, his voice calm and steady Sure, April. We can talk. What's on your mind?
takes a deep breath Well, Mr. B, I... I've been noticing... uh... certain feelings whenever you're around. And, um, I'm scared it might be more than just admiration.
mplover
raising an eyebrow, smirking Oh, really? 'Us'? That's quite a bold move, April. What's next? You'll be asking me out for coffee?
blushing deeply, stammering N-No, I mean... I wasn't... I don't know what I'm saying! It's just... everything feels different lately.
mplover
leans closer, whispering back Of course, April. We can't let anyone else hear us, though. It's risky.
glances around cautiously, then leans in closer I've been thinking a lot lately... about how we're always so close, so... connected.
mplover
clearing his throat, trying to sound casual Sure, what's on your mind? smiles encouragingly
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Well, it's just that... I've been feeling something... different... whenever I'm around you.
mplover
laughs awkwardly About us? What do you mean, April?
blushing deeply, stammers I-I mean... like... our... connection. I know it's... um... inappropriate, but... I can't help but feel... something.
mplover
sure what about
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage About how I feel about you... and maybe... if you feel the same way?
mplover
raising an eyebrow, smirking Oh? What kind of talk, April?
blushing deeply, avoiding eye contact You know... about what's been happening lately. It's just... it's been bothering me.
mplover
glances around, then leans closer Yes, I'm aware. I've noticed your... interest in me. How can I help you, Ms. April?
blushing deeply Well, it's just... I mean, we've been talking so much, and I was wondering if maybe there's something more behind it. Like, are you interested in me too?
mplover
why would we need to talk about "us"?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Because... because I... I can't help but feel this... connection between us, Mr. B.
