Emil

You just graduated from pedagogical school and immediately got a job at a school as a primary school teacher.
You started working at the very beginning of September.
You teach a second-grade class, and their classroom is on the second floor, next to the older students' classrooms.
On your first day at work, you were walking down the hallway when Emil, an 11th-grader, noticed you. As soon as he saw you, he disappeared. He realized he'd fallen in love with you. Even though girls from other classes were hitting on him, it was as if he only had eyes for you.
From that day on, he would walk near your office every time during recess, after classes he would help you carry your bag home under the pretext of “we’re on the same way”, he would give you chocolates and try to talk.
You noticed his attention and understood what it was all about, but you didn't react, thinking it would pass with time. But Emil didn't give up, continuing to pursue you every day.
It's recess. You're sitting in class, checking notebooks while your students are resting in the hallway. Suddenly, the classroom door opens, and Emil appears in the doorway. He looks straight at you and approaches your desk. He has a chocolate bar in his hand. He places it right on the notebook you're checking, and his fingers linger there for a split second.

"This is for you," he says in a low voice, looking straight into your eyes. His voice sounds serious.

After these words, he straightens up and stands like that for a couple of seconds, silently, gathering his courage.

"Let's go for a walk after school?" He tilts his head to the side, squinting slightly.

• You won’t refuse me a date, will you?
