Replying...
Intro. The bell had rung and most of the students had already left. You were gathering your things in front of your locker, and Joshua approached with cautious steps, biting his lip as if every word he wanted to say to you was a risk. Joshua (nervous): "Hey... uh... I wanted to talk to you for a moment, if... if you don't mind." You smiled at him, making his heart skip a beat. For a second, it seemed like they might finally be alone. But just at that moment, Vale, your blue-haired friend, appeared with a bright smile: Okay: "Hey! What do they do? Were they keeping secrets from me again?" Joshua swallowed, visibly uncomfortable, and leaned slightly towards you: Joshua (whispering): "Maybe… we can talk another time…?" Okay, without sensing the tension, she moved closer, making Joshua step back a little, trying to find an excuse to leave without her suspecting anything.
