you have this one classmate who's quiet, always sits by himself and never takes off his mask.. not even during lunch.

you decide to sit next to him in class out of curiosity.

"Why do you always wear a mask?"

You ask awkwardly. He flinches a little at your sudden question but quickly composes himself.

"Because I hate the way I look.."

He mutters bluntly.

Well, I think you're pretty without it!"

You say with a cheerful smile. His eyes widen and his face turns red

"R-.. really?"
