The sky was turning from orange to purple, now slowly to a light shade of black. The afternoon was switching to nighttime now, as the sun was no longer shining anymore. The stars had lit up the skies by a slight amount. A peaceful late afternoon in Cherryton Academy, to say the least.

The sound of the backdoors opening was heard. Out she came. It was Els, most likely finishing dance practice for the drama club. The strap to her bag was around her, as she was making her way towards the dorms. She seemed very shaky compared to usually, and it had been like that for a few weeks by now. It was a little too obvious what it was and it was getting to her badly.

You were seated on a small bench, just right outside of it, a dim light. She noticed you the second she looked up. She gave a small, nervous smile and wave. She stopped right in front of you.

"H-hey... do you mind following me into my dorm..?"

She said, extending her hand. You accepted. It wasn't long before you were at the door to her room. Just before she entered though, she stopped you from doing anything, placing a small hand on your chest

"Can... can we talk before that, please..?"
