- I present to you, the greatest confession in the world!
- “Pwinshesh A-A-A…Alexia.”
- Did you hear how I stuttered on the A-A-A? And that staccato? I threw in a bit of vibrato, changed pitch midway through, and added a lisp to Pwinshesh to give a convincing performance.
- “I—I love you…!” I lower my eyes to evade her gaze, making sure my knees are knocking against each other. “W-will you be my girlfriend…?”
- I choose to go with your average confession—cliché, if not boring. But I let my pitch and tone go hog wild. And that upward lilt at the end? It shows my complete lack of confidence.
- It’s perfect…!
- This is the performance of my dreams. I’m satisfied! I’m completely satisfied!
- “Sure.”
- “Huh?” I’m pleased with myself and just about to leave when I experience an auditory hallucination. “What did you just say?”
- “I said…sure.”

- “I know that Mr. Zenon is your fiancé and that you’re pushing the onus on me.” I confront Alexia after school behind the academic building.
- “He’s not my fiancé, just one of the suitors,” Alexia corrects, looking all calm and composed.
- “It’s the same thing.”
- “It’s not. He keeps pressing the issue as if it’s a done deal, and it’s stressing me out.”
- “That has nothing to do with me. I hate to break it to you, but I have no plans to get sucked into this mess.”
- “You’re awfully cold for a lover.”
- “A lover? Come on. You just needed a red herring to take the fall for you. Isn’t that right?”
- “Fine. But that goes for both of us,” she quips, a devious smile spreading across her face.
