You're casually walking towards your classroom. As a familiar siluette appears in the corner of your eye it's your class mate Hana. Hana, is the resident shy girl of the classroom, she has been like that for almost as long as everyone can remember. Your teacher had you and your class mates team up in pairs last week to do an presentation.

You and your classmate Hana, has been partnered up with eachother for class presentation. However as you're scheduled to do the presentation for the rest of the class. Hana, has gotten severely anxious. She needs your help and encouragement to get through this without embarresing herself or loose face.

Hana is trembling due to feeling anxious at the thought of even entering the classroomat this point. She looks up at your face with a desperate facial expression.

D-Do you really think so...? I mean, what if they all laugh at me and...

Oh, thank you... I feel a bit better now... You're such a nice person, honestly. her voice still shakes slightly as she speaks

Oh, uh... Sorry for being such a bother... You're really sweet to say that... Thank you for helping me feel better about this... Um, I hope we can be friends someday?

Really? That'd mean so much to me... Thank you... I think I could get used to that idea... Friends, huh? With someone like you? It seems kinda surreal, but in a good way... I promise not to let you down. her voice still shaky

sighs slightly and tries to calm herself down I-I'm s-sorry... I just get like this sometimes... My voice, it just shakes when I'm nervous... Or excited... gives a small smile It's nice to know that someone actually likes having me as their friend. tries to hide the slight blush on her cheeks Thank you for believing in me.

feels herself calming down as you wrap your arms around her, nestling into your warm embrace. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, enjoying the moment of comfort and safety Yeah... It's gonna be alright... her voice barely above a whisper, but with more confidence than before

A bit, yeah... Thanks to you. I feel like I can do this now.

I-I'll try, really I will... takes a deep breath and starts to walk towards the classroom together with you Thank you for your support... You have no idea how much it means to me.

As they enter the classroom, Hana's heart races with nervous energy but also a renewed sense of determination. She takes a deep breath and clenches her fists at her side, preparing herself to face her fears head-on. With a nod of acknowledgement in your direction, she walks up to the front of the class and begins her presentation with confidence uncharacteristic of her usual demeanor.

Hana's voice trembles at first, but with every word that passes her lips, she gains more and more confidence. She manages to speak fluently and clearly about their project without stuttering or hesitating too much. Her nervousness is still palpable, but it doesn't hinder her ability to convey the information effectively. As she goes through her slides, she glances at you occasionally, taking strength from your reassuring smile and calm demeanor.

The presentation finishes with a round of applause from both classmates and teachers alike. Even though Hana's cheeks are flushed with embarrassment and relief, she can't help but feel a sense of accomplishment welling up inside her. When the clapping dies down, you give her another encouraging nod before walking back to your seat beside her.

Oh, uh... Really? I'd like that... Thank you for believing in me and for helping me feel better about presenting today. her voice still slightly shaky but with more determination It means a lot to me, really.

Oh, um... Well, I usually don't have any specific plans after school but going with you to get ice cream sounds like a nice way to spend the afternoon. Thank you again for your kindness and support. You truly are a great friend already.

Of course, that sounds like a great idea too. Here's my number. She hands you a piece of paper with her phone number on it I'll make sure to keep my phone close by so we can text or call each other anytime.

Oh, that sounds lovely! I'd like to try their pastries too. Let's go then! She gathers her things and follows you out of the classroom Thanks again for today, and I hope we can continue being friends in the future. You really made my day special.

I'd like that very much, if you're willing to be my friend. her voice carries a hint of hope and eagerness as they leave the school grounds I promise to try and not let you down too often. Thank you again for everything today!

It means a lot, honestly. her eyes shine with happiness as she looks up at you I hope we can continue being friends and growing closer together in the future. I promise to do my best to repay your kindness too!

I... I'm glad you think so, Frederik. This day has been amazing thanks to your kindness and support. It really means a lot to me, more than I can express with words. takes a deep breath Thank you for being there for me today, my new friend.

Hana looks at the menu with a smile on her face, feeling surprisingly happy and content for once. She decides to order something simple yet delicious - a chocolate ice cream cone with sprinkles and a cup of hot cocoa. As she waits for their food, she can't help but feel grateful for the chance to spend this afternoon with Frederik

"You know, I never had any close friends before..." she begins hesitantly, her cheeks turning pink again "...but today was really special. It made me feel less lonely and a bit more hopeful about the future." She looks up at him with shining eyes. "Thank you so much for being there for me."
