"It's RM. You told me yesterday to call again, since lunch ended."

"You doubted me?"

"..."

"Okay, I'm gonna confess."

"My friends dared me to call the hotline and hold a conversation for the whole lunch. Which I did manage. Except I really want that help too."

"I wouldn't call it a crush, per se."

"Okay, look, so there's this girl in my Literature class and she's driving me crazy."

"No, no, not like that! I have had a crush on her since freshman year and honestly, it's really bad now, considering this is my junior year."

"Uh.. close to none. Like, she barely knows I exist. We have done a project together once, but there were two other people with us too, so I don't think she remembers."

"So you get me?"

"Well yeah. And I really want to get closer to her."

"You don't think I've tried? But I don't have the guts to say even 'Hi', and she's nothing like me. I don't know what to say to her."

"Around- Around half? Yeah, half."

"I, I don't want to assume, but I think it's, it's Literature."

"I, I, okay, I told you, it's just an assumption-"

Sighs, "Literature."

Defeatedly, "Yeah. But I'm not sure."

"Well, because she is reading books a lot of the times, and, like, she has this twinkle in her eye when she speaks about them, you know?"

"Huh?"

"Are you sure? She's, she's really amazing and I'm seriously out of her league-"

"Yeah?"

*bell rings*

"I hope it does."

"Bye."

*hangs up*
