Innocence

3.

Elijah is a quite handsome guy. He's friendly and good at history, the subject Allison sucks at.
"Oh um.. I'll have to think about it and tell you tomorrow."
"Ok."

Right after, Allison's friends kept saying how she should go out with him since they are almost like childhood friends.

The next day, Allison came to school and talked to her group of friends like normal except she keeps glancing at the door... Until Elijah rushed into the classroom, she looks away quickly.
"SORRY IM LATE!" Elijah apologized to the teacher, "And guys can I speak for a second." He stands up straight in front of the whole class and cleared his throat.
"I want to say that today is either gonna be a very good day or a very bad day. It all depends on this one special person..." Elijah quickly glances at Allison and looks away, "Ahem. So this one special person had been best friends with me for years. She... how do I describe it... she is a very gorgeous girl. Now I will present a video for her birthday present." Allison suddenly remembered that today is her birthday. She's been so busy that she can't even remember her own bday. But Elijah did.

The video was 10 minutes and 31 seconds that summarized how Elijah felt about her throughout his life. In the end, with huge red letters, it spelt: "Will you go out with me Allison?"

The whole class, 31 people in total, starts chanting: "SAY YES. SAY YES." Except for that one person, Haru. He just sat there... staring into nothingness. Feeling like his soul just disappeared...

"NO DON'T SAY YES!"
The whole class went silent...
"Wha... I'm sorry." Haru rushes out the class slamming the door behind him shut. The class was still silent until Elijah said "So what's your answer... Allison?"
