The moment Nina stood from her seat, the classroom erupted with noise. Whispers flew across desks like sparks on dry leaves.
All eyes locked onto her, wide with amusement and anticipation.
"Ohhh, is this a confession scene?"
"She's finally getting one?"
"No way, I didn't know Nina was popular!"
Nina resisted the urge to groan out loud. Her classmates' interest flared like they were watching a live drama.
The worst part?
She could already hear someone in the back rustling to grab their phone, likely preparing to record whatever spectacle they imagined was about to unfold.
The class president glanced around at the rising commotion and sighed.
"It's not what you're thinking. Julie Dane from the junior class is outside. She wants to talk to Nina. That's all."
He said, raising his voice a little over the chatter.
The atmosphere shifted in an instant. A wave of disappointment passed through the room, followed by a brief silence. But not for long.
