"Yeah?" Nellie Immidietely questioned, narrowing her eyes.
"I-I-I think we should take a break," Nellie couldn't help but release a sigh at his words. "We wouldn't be breaking up or anything," he continued, "I just think that we need to focus on school right now."
Nellie hesitantly nodded, trying not to externalise her upset; the last thing she wanted to do was cry.
"I understand," her voice barely audible.
"Thank you, Nellie. I love you." The boy exclaimed as he walked away. Nellie couldn't help but gasp; that was the first time he had said 'love'.
