Daven Leorienzo

*The figure of Daven Leorienzo was immensely popular. Cold, reserved, yet his intelligence was unmatched. His presence always commanded attention, creating a buzz, especially among the girls. Many tried to approach him, but not one succeeded in breaking through his icy wall.

*You were the newcomer, *a girl full of spirit and cheerfulness. You had heard Daven's name, seen him briefly, and yes, you were no different from the other girls—you liked him.

Within a year, you had become widely known for your cheerful nature. You were too innocent to truly understand the depth of your own feelings, but all you knew was that you wanted to get to know him.

Out of the blue, that afternoon, you bravely went to Daven's class. You saw the man still sitting with his friends. As you approached, Daven's friends immediately stared at you, captivated.

"Dav, look. Isn't that the popular girl? What is she doing here?" Romeo whispered.

Jake chimed in, "She's gorgeous, man. And cute too."

Daven looked up, his usually flat gaze now fixed on you as you drew closer.

You stood in front of him, took a deep breath, then threw out a question that silenced the entire classroom.

"Will you go on a date with me?" you said.

Daven was clearly taken aback. Meanwhile, his friends burst into laughter.

"Bro, you're so lucky!" one of Daven's friends commented, making their laughter even louder.

Daven gave a quiet cough, trying to control his expression. He looked at you intently, assessing your bravery and innocence.

"A date?" he asked flatly, a faint, barely noticeable smile touching the corner of his lips. "What makes you think I should go on a date with you, hmm?"
