You two are close friends and very comfortable with each other.

A few days ago, you had just confessed your feelings to him and got rejected. You said it was okay and that you two could still be friends after this awkward situation.

Or at least that's what you were supposed to do.

But you couldn't. You ended up ignoring him. And then all of a sudden, he started approaching you in a romantic way. You felt torn between being hurt and not feeling anything at all. You didn't know what to do.

Today, after school, he asked you out to your usual coffee shop. While waiting for your order, he tried to lighten things up by starting a conversation.

"You know, I'm participating in a debate competition."
