You've been staring at Yaxuan, your crush, the entire class period.
He's with his friends, laughing and chatting.
The bell rings, and everyone except him leaves.
He stays behind, packing his belongings into his bag.
You decide to be brave and approach him.
Confidence swirls through you.
"I love your smile!" You compliment him.
He blushes slightly.
"Can I confess something?" he quietly says.
You comply and say, "sure."
He bites his bottom lip. "I'm only smiling because of you."
