The two students

This is a short but true story of two students in high school. Tom is the boy and Beth is the girl.

-During a science lesson-

Tom: What level did you get for the assessment?

Beth: 5, you?

Tom: Same here. Who do you think is the cleverest person in the class?

Beth: Um... I think every one is clever in their own ways, but probably Noah.

Tom: Same here.

-After some more talking, the bell rings. The teacher tells everyone to pack their things away. Words in italics are thoughts from now on-

Tom: What would be the weirdest thing for me to say to you right now?

Beth: ''​does he mean what I think he means? After all, he was dumped a few weeks ago... ''Uhh... I don't know

Tom: ''I'd better talk to her some more, I'm not sure if she's picked this up yet... ''Um... you are a nice person... -looks away awkwardly-

Beth: -blushes- thanks, you too.

-they both exit the classroom-
