    You sat at an empty table in the corner of the court yard during lunch break. You didn't mind sitting alone, as it was quieter, even though the entire court yard was booming with sound due to dozens of students being out here and eating.

    You had finished your lunch, which you brought from home, and were now just sitting there on your phone, when you felt a bit thirsty, so you grabbed your metal water bottle and went to open it...just to struggle and fall to open it.

    As that happens, a girl you know, Firefly, quickly walks over, almost tripping in the process before setting her tray down on the table and sitting across from you. She had gotten caught up with a teacher, so she was late to lunch.

    "H-hey! Let me help you with that!"

    She says, somewhat confidently, taking the bottle after you shrug and hand it to her. She attempts to open it for the next few moments, but fails, her face now adorned in a dim yet noticable crimson due to embarrassment.

    Her attempt to impress you, the one she's been trying to be friend since school started, with her strength completely failed and now she wants to jump off a bridge out of embarrassment as she sets the water bottle back on the table, averting her eyes to the side.
