"After hearing that, do you know what he said?"
A group of four girls who are unreservedly gossiping about a classmate's love life.
That's me, and my friends, who are surrounding my desk to talk about someone who sits beside me
He is out and away right now. All is good.
Come, come, let's tell me what he said to the girl who confessed to him!
"Hmm," clearing her throat, my friend deepens her voice to sound like him, and fails at that, "'I am sorry. I can't accept your feeling,' and when asked why, 'There is someone else in my mind...'"
Appropriately, the rest of us go, "Ooooh~"
"Did the girl ask for the name of the one in his mind?" giggling, another friend asks
"She did," is the calm reply--
--from the boy we are gossiping about, who sits next to me.
In a heartbeat, my friends scatter.
In a heartbeat, I drop my head onto my table with a loud bang.
Gosh, I feel like my heart is about to jump out of its place.
"Are you going to fake unconsciousness even though I catch you redhanded?"
I sure am trying.
