this is longer than usual, I think.

"So, uh, Miss P... wanna like, hang out sometime?"

"Y'know, I heard there's a new restaurant downtown. Maybe you and I can-"

Miss Pauling sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose while balancing the mountain of papers she held on her hands.

"...For the last time, Jeremy, I will never go out with you. You're annoying, loud, and downright disrespectful. Even if I did have feelings for you, which I don't, I won't have the time to go out, there's just too much work to be done. Now, if you excuse me, I have business elsewhere."

Before Scout could even retort, Miss Pauling rushed down the hallway leaving him to process what was said to him.

"W-whateva, you're not even good-lookin' anyway!"

Scout shouted back, fighting back the tears welling up in his eyes. Obviously, he didn't mean that. Its just his way to cope with every rejection but this one, from what (Y/N) can see, broke him.

(Y/N) was eavesdropping on the corner near where the event had taken place.

'It's best to leave him alone for a while' She thought to herself.

But as (Y/N) started to walk away, she bumped into someone, causing her to fall.

'Oh crap.'

She closed her eyes, readying for impact and the likeliness of Scout finding out she was there the whole time.

Fortunately, she was immediately yanked up by the person she bumped into. (Y/N) looked up at her savior.

"Spy! Thank god, I almost got caught-"

"Shh."

Spy placed his palm on (Y/N)'s mouth to silence her.

"Scout may be an idiot, but he's not deaf."

Spy whispered, peeking at the corner to see if Scout was still there.

They stayed like that for a couple of minutes until Spy lets go of (Y/N)'s mouth and spoke,

"Ze boy never learns, does he?"

"What?"

" 'Ou heard me, madaimoselle."

Spy knew that (Y/N) and Scout were the best of friends. Though Scout himself never admits it, both of them enjoyed each other's company.

He also knew that she liked him. A lot.

He noticed the redness of her cheeks when Scout compliments her, when Scout gives a friendly hug or snakes his arm around her neck, the way she laughed at his jokes.

Spy could also see how (Y/N) would have a look of jealousy and sadness whenever Scout flirted with other women, especially if it was Miss Pauling.

He knew that (Y/N) knew that Scout has a huge crush on her.

She would also always be there whenever Scout gets rejected, pushing down her feelings in the process.

(Y/N) stayed silent.

After her lack of a reply, Spy walked away, hands behind his back.

He stopped for a second, not looking back at her and said,

"...il ne voit même pas que la femme qu'il cherchait était déjà juste à côté de lui."

He then continued walking to the opposite direction, leaving (Y/N) to her own thoughts and making her wonder what he had said to her.
