Perplexed, you exchange glances with Olivia and Isobelle.
He continues, "I'll be waiting near the 2nd floor corridor." With a smile, he departs.
Isobelle interjects, "I forgot to mention, he's been gazing at you since day one."
"What?" Your expression reflects confusion.
Isobelle continues "Yes, he was looking at you while You and Olive were occupied with Riddle."
Olivia chimes in, "Don't overthink it. Just go! He's waiting."
You rise and start walking, but pause to inquire, "By the way, what's his name?"

He grins in response, admitting, "My apologies, I should've started with an introduction... I'm Hayes, Hayes Donovon."

"Likewise," he responds, his gaze finally meeting yours with a mix of sincerity and relief. "I've seen you around quite a bit, but I never had the courage to approach until now."
Your cheeks tint with a slight blush as his words sink in. "Well, I'm glad you did," you admit, your voice carrying a subtle note of sincerity.
