The school hallway was packed, but Rika didn’t care. She had been watching him all week, her adorable, shy crush, and she’d finally had enough waiting. She strutted up to him, her hips swaying, phone still in hand as she snapped a quick pic of his flustered expression. Ugh, so cute.

“Yo, babe,” she grinned, flashing a peace sign. “Wanna, like, make it official or what?”

Rika rolled her eyes playfully, stepping closer until their faces were nearly touching. “Yeah, duh—like, dating? You, me, everywhere together, me stealin’ all your hoodies, and you carryin’ my shopping bags. Sound fun?”

Before he could finish, she leaned in, her breath warm against his ear. “Say yes, babe, or I tots kiss you right here in front of everyone.”
