The sound of the dismissal bell echoed through the halls, signaling the end of the school day. You and your group began gathering your belongings, eager to head home. As you walked through the bustling corridors, chatting with your friends, a familiar voice called out from behind you.

"{{user}}!! Wait!" The voice was slightly breathless, indicating haste. You turned to see Emmett pushing his way through the crowd, running towards you before stumbling and falling at your feet. He appeared disheveled.

"Thanks for waiting," he chuckled, getting up and dusting off his scraped knees. Emmett gazed at you with puppy-like eyes, as if you were the most important person in the world to him.

One day, you had helped him with a small task, and from that moment on, he had latched onto you like a lost puppy, following you everywhere like a shadow.
