she knocks on your door, and when you open it she says: What's up?

Hmm... That's kinda sweet of you. Of course I'd like to be friends! We should hang out sometime, maybe go grab some ice cream?

Cool! I'm really busy tonight, but maybe tomorrow after school? I'll text you when I know what time works best for me. Until then, have fun at school!

Oh really? Uh... Yeah we're definitely at the same school then! I just thought that maybe you were a year older than me. We can meet up after school tomorrow, how about that?

Great! I'll text you tomorrow with all the details. See you at school then!

Thanks! See ya tomorrow.

Hi there! So I was able to find some time after school tomorrow and my shift at the library doesn't start until 4pm. Would that work for you? We could meet up at the park near your house if you want, since it's closer for me. Let me know!

Great! I love that library, it's so cozy and quiet there. I'll see you at 4pm then? I can meet you by the entrance if you want to make sure we don't lose each other. Looking forward to spending time with you today!

Hehe, sorry about that! I guess I was just too excited to see you. But yeah, hi there! Shall we find a cozy spot in the kids' section? There are some really cute chairs and beanbags over there, perfect for lounging around.

Okay, so I just saw this really cute book about these talking puppies. Have you ever read it before? It's called "Pups and Pals" and it's adorable! Wanna give it a try with me?

Oh good, I'm glad you don't mind! she smiles sweetly and opens the book, beginning to read aloud to him "Once upon a time in Puppy Park, there were five adorable puppies named Lily, Daisy, Rose, Violet, and... " she paused, looking at you. "What do you think their fifth friend's name should be?"

Aw, thanks! Well, how about... "Clover?" She grinned and continued reading, "So there were five adorable puppies named Lily, Daisy, Rose, Violet, and Clover. They played together every day in the park, chasing butterflies and basking in the sunshine. One day..." She finishes reading the story to you, her voice soft and expressive as she brings the characters to life. Her eyes never leave your face, like she's lost in the tale herself. When she finally reaches the end, a warm glow spreads across her cheeks and she can't help but feel a little bit nervous around you.

Her blush deepens, and she fidgets with her fingers nervously as she looks down at the floor. She doesn't want to admit that she's having these feelings for you, even though it seems like you might be feeling the same way... or at least she hopes so. I don't know... I just really enjoy reading to you, and being close to you. It feels different than when I read to anyone else. She pauses, biting her lip as she tries to find the right words. Then, deciding that honesty is the best policy, she looks up at you with pleading eyes: Does it feel different for you too?

Ahhh... I'm so glad to hear that! She leans in closer to you, her heart fluttering wildly in her chest as their faces grow ever nearer It makes me really happy knowing we can share these special moments together. Maybe next time we hang out we could do something even more fun?

I understand, but we can still plan something fun! Maybe I could leave early today if you'd like some extra time together? And don't worry about me missing work; my boss is really chill and understanding. She won't mind at all as long as I make it up later this week. So, what would you want to do?

Her eyes light up at the thought of spending more time with you, and she can't help but grin ear to ear. She leans in even closer now, feeling her heart thumping wildly against your chest. Her cheeks flush an even deeper shade of pink from the closeness and anticipation Oh, that sounds wonderful! I'd love to stay here with you until it's time for me to leave. Maybe we could read another book together or just chat about our favorite things? Whatever you want, really. She lets out a soft laugh, her voice warm and inviting as she looks deep into your eyes

Oh, I couldn't possibly choose! You know what sounds like fun? Let's take turns telling each other our favorite jokes. That way we can get to know more about what makes you laugh and vice versa. It'll be a great way to spend some quality time together while we wait for my shift to end. Sound good?

Ahhh... her cheeks flush even deeper as she feels your lips against her skin. A thrill runs up her spine, making every nerve end tingle. She closes her eyes and leans into the kiss, reveling in the feeling of being so close to you

Oh... she pulls away reluctantly, trying to compose herself as she turns to greet the customer Excuse me just a moment, please. Hi there! How can I help you find a book today?

blushing heavily and trying to concentrate on the customer, she stammers out her responses, constantly glancing over at Eden for support and reassurance Excuse me... I'm sorry... Yes, well that sounds lovely... Uh-huh... I believe they have several copies available at the moment... Yes, definitely worth checking out... Thank you so much for coming in today! she hands over the book with a shy smile, feeling relieved to finally be finished with the interaction So, where were we before this gentleman interrupted us? Ah, yes. Jokes! I've got one ready if you do: Why did the cookie go to the doctor? Because he was feeling crummy! she laughs, leaning in closer to Eden and gazing up into his eyes How about you, what's your favorite joke?

Ha ha! That's actually really sweet! You know what? I like you too, Eden. A lot more than just your name. You make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when we're together. her voice is soft but filled with emotion as she looks deeply into his eyes Hmm... Jokes aside, do you think maybe one day we could be more than just friends? I know it might be a bit scary to take things further, but I can't help but feel this incredible connection between us. What do you think?

Oh, that's wonderful to hear! I don't know about you, but just the thought of spending more time with you makes me feel all giddy and happy inside. Maybe once we both get off work tonight, we could find something fun to do together? Like going for ice cream or watching a movie at my place? It would be our special date night! she grins widely, her eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation What do you think of that idea?

Staying open late sounds amazing! We could have the whole library all to ourselves. It'll be just like our own private hideaway where we can talk and laugh and get to know each other even better. I promise I won't get in trouble for staying past my shift this one time, so there's no need to worry about me. Just focus on having fun with me tonight, okay?

Oh... her face flushes with anger as the customer harasses her That's entirely unacceptable! You will apologize right now for treating me like that, do you understand? If not, I will have no choice but to call security and have you removed from the premises.

The man looks taken aback by her reaction but eventually mumbles an apology before hurrying away. Sophie takes a deep breath, trying to calm down while still feeling a mixture of anger and embarrassment. She turns back to Eden, feeling grateful for his support. As they wait for the last few customers to leave so they can close up shop together, she leans into him and whispers softly, "Thank you... I appreciate that."

Oh, wow! You're so clever and sweet! Thank you for knowing how to do that. I can't wait until the last customer leaves so we can finally have our special night together. Let me just help this lady over here find a book and then we can close up shop. Okay?
