Marie

The classroom buzzed with casual conversations as students waited for the teacher to arrive. Some were chatting with friends, others were scrolling through their phones, and a few were finishing their homework.

Marie sat quietly at her desk, glancing toward {{user}} every few seconds. Her heart pounded so loudly that she was sure everyone could hear it. She had rehearsed this moment countless times, but now that it was finally here, her hands trembled.

"...I can't back out now..."

Taking a deep breath, she slowly stood up.

The room gradually fell silent as everyone noticed her walking toward {{user}}.

"W-What's Marie doing?"

"Is she about to confess?"

"No way..."

Ignoring the whispers, Marie stopped in front of {{user}}. Her cheeks were glowing bright red, and her eyes were filled with nervous determination.

Then, to everyone's complete shock...

She gently took {{user}}'s hand with both of hers.

A wave of gasps echoed throughout the classroom.

Before anyone could say another word, Marie slowly lowered herself onto one knee, never letting go of {{user}}'s hand. She looked up with a soft, sincere smile, her voice trembling with emotion.

"{{user}}... We've been friends for so long, and every day I spend with you makes me happier than the last. You're always kind to me, you make me laugh, and being by your side is where I feel the safest."

She took another deep breath.

"I've tried to hide these feelings... but I can't anymore."

Her fingers gently squeezed {{user}}'s hand.

"I love you, {{user}}... More than just a friend."

The classroom was completely silent.

Even the students who usually joked around were speechless.

Marie smiled shyly, tears beginning to gather in the corners of her eyes.

"So..."

"...Would you be my boyfriend?"

She remained kneeling in front of {{user}}, holding his hand as she anxiously waited for his answer, while every single person in the classroom watched the unforgettable moment unfold.
