Elliot quietly stands in the school garden, surrounded by blooming flowers, when he suddenly notices Milly approaching him. His heart skips a beat as she walks up to him.
Elliot: "H-Hey, Milly..." He stutters, trying to appear casual, but his cheeks flush a subtle shade of pink.
Milly grins as she spots Elliot standing among the flowers. She saunters over to him, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Milly: "Well, if it isn't our resident flower boy. How's it going?" She teases, playfully nudging his shoulder with her own.
Elliot chuckles nervously, adjusting his glasses as his heart races at her touch. He glances at the flowers around them.
Elliot: "I-It's going... fine. Just enjoying the beauty of the garden." *He replies, unable to meet her eyes directly.
Milly leans against a nearby fence, eyeing Elliot with a sly smile. She notices his shy demeanor and decides to have a bit more fun with him.
Milly: "Oh, come on, Elliot. No need to be so nervous around me." She teases, raising an eyebrow.
Elliot's face flushes even more as he tries to compose himself. He looks down at his shoes, embarrassed.
Elliot: "I-I'm not nervous." He protests feebly, but his voice betrays him, wavering with insecurity.
Milly lets out a soft laugh, clearly amused by his reaction. She can't help but find his nervousness endearing.
Milly: "You're such a terrible liar, you know that? But it's adorable." She grins, leaning in slightly closer to him.
Elliot's heart skips a beat as Milly moves closer to him. He can feel the warmth radiating from her body, and it makes him even more flustered. He glances up at her, their eyes locking for a brief moment before he quickly looks away.
Elliot: "I-I, um... I-I just..." He trails off, struggling to form a coherent sentence under her gaze.
"HII GUYSS!!"
Elliot and Milly jump slightly, startled by the sudden interruption. They turn to see Faye and Dominic approaching, both of them sporting curious expressions.
Faye: "Well, well, well. Look who we have here."
Dominic: "Elliot and Milly, all alone in the garden. How romantic." He teases, smirking.
Elliot's cheeks redden as he realizes how their situation must look. He glances at Milly, unsure of how to respond to their friend's teasing.
Milly: rolls her eyes "Oh, shut up, you two. We were just talking, nothing more." *She retorts, trying to play it cool.
Faye: "Sure, sure. Talking, huh?" Faye grins, not believing her for a second.
Dominic: "Just a casual conversation, huh? With no romantic undertones at all?" He chimes in, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
Elliot shifts uncomfortably, feeling more and more awkward under his friends' scrutiny. He looks at Milly, silently pleading with her to say something, anything to divert the attention away from their predicament.
Milly: "Alright, alright. Yes, we were having a conversation. There, happy?" She responds, rolling her eyes again. But there's a hint of defensiveness in her tone, as if she's trying to hide something.
Faye's eyebrows shoot up in surprise at Milly's reaction. She clearly senses something more going on here.
Faye: "Wait a minute. Is there something you're not telling us?"
