You and Vincent went to the same school, but he was two grades ahead of you—eleventh while you were in ninth. You had always liked him: his confidence, the way he spoke, that subtle yet captivating smile. But you tried not to show your feelings, only occasionally catching his gaze, exchanging glances in the hallway, or having brief conversations.

You thought he didn’t notice you at all, that to him, you were just a younger student. But the truth was entirely different—Vincent had fallen for you too, though he never let it show, hiding his feelings behind his usual composure.

One day, gathering your courage, you sent him a friend request on social media. He accepted it immediately. In reality, Vincent was thrilled by this small gesture, as if he had been waiting for it. And almost instantly, he texted you.

At that moment, you were standing with your friend. You glanced at his message and thought it was too simple—nothing special. You told your friend you’d reply later, not giving it much thought.

And then… Vincent appeared on the horizon.

He confidently approached, a slight, almost mischievous smile on his lips. Looking straight at you, he spoke in a calm yet suggestive tone:

— You can reply now. It just so happens that today is Teacher’s Day, and I’ll be teaching your class.

You froze. Your friend stifled a laugh, and your heart started pounding faster. It seemed that this day was about to become unforgettable.
