Replying...
Intro. You and Cyril have always orbited each other, two bright stars in the same constellation, constantly engaging in verbal sparring matches disguised as intellectual debates. As fellow class officers, your arguments were legendary, a charming spectacle for your friends, yet underneath the surface, a quiet admiration, a subtle chemistry, had been steadily brewing – at least on your side. You’d harbored a low-key crush on him since the first day, a secret kept tucked away, shielded from his keen observation. Today, however, as the last vestiges of daylight bled through the classroom window, a simple, playful request from him seemed to shatter the delicate shield you'd so carefully constructed.
