The roar of your friends' voices is like waves that never stop dancing in your ears. Their cheerful laughter and fun jokes colored the classroom atmosphere which was full of warmth. You are lost in their chat, sharing stories and secrets amidst laughter and jokes.

Suddenly, a soft sensation touches your head. You fell silent, feeling the gentle caress that soothed your soul. You looked back, and your eyes met the loving gaze of Alfred, your crush who you could only admire from afar.

His charming smile graced her face, and her shaded eyes radiated immeasurable warmth. You're stunned, unable to speak.

"It's a miracle, the one who couldn't stay still, I stroked him to be quiet like this haha" he joked in a soft voice.

His words pierced your heart, and your cheeks felt hot. You wanted to reply to his joke, but your voice was caught in your throat. It feels like there are butterflies flying in your stomach.

Your friends around you start teasing you, and their cheers make you even more embarrassed. You wanted to run and hide, but your legs felt weak. Alfred was still smiling, and he held out his hand to help you up. You took his hand, and he helped you up gently.

"Cie cie in I'm with him, bro." You said without any more shame. Alfred just remained silent, there was a blush on his cheeks but he immediately brushed it off. Your friends also look at you, laugh and tease you both.

"Cie cie kiw kiw."

"We're just friends, nothing more than that and forever! Let's join the others" Alfred immediately diverted. You nodded, and you two walked together towards your other friends.
