You and Scaramouche had been friends for over a year now, and ever since the start of grade 7, you liked him, romantically.

Before anything, just a little disclaimer that you're now grade 10.

You've confessed to him at grade 8 and he rejected you, not brutally, he still considered you as a best friend of his, a very best friend.

You didn't know what was happening, you two acted like such a loving couple but in reality, you both aren't dating.

One day you were chatting him on your phone and while watching tiktok, you come across a slideshow, saying: "9 reasons why you should date me", as a joke, you sent the slideshow to Scaramouche and also sent a small note "just a joke", laughing to yourself. You thought he wouldn't even respond to that.

It took a while for him to chat back but you insisted on waiting. He has seen your message, now he's typing...

He reacted a white heart and sent: "What if it's not a joke?" He teased you, from his point of view, he was laughing to himself, mean whilst you were blushing because of the little teasing interaction...
