"Louis Alltop huh?" Emerald teased Zane.

"Yeah." Zane said softly, trying to control his fond and blushing.

"So tell me a bit about him."

"Well, He's quite Handsome and I heard he's Bi and he's one year senior than me.

"So my job is to make you feel loved by Louis." Emerald kind of said that as a note to himself. 

"I don't think so, He had passed by me in the hallway few times but he never even glanced at me once. And he is a  senior so we don't have any class together as well. And I only Heard that he's bi. What if he is not and he is straight." Zane's voice went low when he said the last line, starring at the floor.

"Well you didn't think that all that you did till now was possible either? Did you?" Emerald asked.

"There's gotta be a way to get to know him? Just think about it." He insisted.

Zane thought for a minute, "Well yeah he is in acting class, one of the after school classes here. Maybe, but I don't think I can do acting."

"That's it, that's the way to get to know him. Just enroll your name in that class. And you aren't doing it because you wanna learn acting, you're taking that class to get to know Louis better."

"Alright. Come, I'll enroll my name in the acting class." Zane said as they exited the hallway.

"Emerald...." Zane uttered while on their way to home.

"Yeah?"

"I did enroll for the acting class but I don't think I can do it, neither acting nor talking to Louis. "

"Zane you're just over stressing yourself and over analysing it. You can do it and you know that." Emerald gave him a firm reassurance.

Zane didn't say anything he just took in Emerald's words and tried to believe them.

"Wait?!" Emerlad stopped as he saw an Ice Cream stall.

"What?"

"Let's get some ice cream." Emerlad pointed towards the ice cream stall.

"You eat ice cream?" Zane's eyes widened with curiousity, followed by a soft chuckle.

"Why not?" Emerald seemed offended.

"I don't know, you tell me." Zane shrugged.

"Well yeah I do eat ice cream okay!"

"Alright, if you say so." Zane titled his head playfuly.

"Let's have some ice cream then." Emerald softly groaned.

"Wait?" Zane stopped walking.

"Whose paying though?" He asked.

"Well, it's pretty obvious. Isn't it?" Emerald raised a eyebrow, looking at him.

"So you're telling me that you can eat but you don't have money?" Zane raised an eyebrow.

To which Emerald nodded goofily and it made Zane laugh. It has been long  gone since he had laughed liked that. It was a genuine, his eyes sparkled once again and the crinckles by his eyes, he was looking beautiful.

"Alright, ice cream is on me." Zane gestured towards the ice-cream stall.

"You look so beautiful right now. " Emerald complimented Zane.

Zane didn't say anything when Emerald complimented him this time. Instead an automatic smile appeared on his face.

"Which flavour?" Zane asked.
