We are set in a Drama class with a well known teacher around the school.

"Alright, class. Today we are going to play a fun little game I like to call 'propose until you drop'."

Everyone shoots looks around the classroom, whispering to one another because they know exactly what that game is. Everyone takes turns around the circle.

The odds showcase a particular fifteen-year-old, B. B squints to choose his "fiancé" and who would've guessed that his eyes settled on the one, the only, A.

He gets down on his knee, "My love, my only love, I love you more than the eye can see. My love, my one true love, will you marry me?"

A tries fighting a smile, which became a useless attempt as she bursts out crackling.

The class is over and A and B meet in the hallway.

"HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU NOT LAUGH?! YOU'RE SUCH A GOOD ACTOR!"

"Oh, I wasn't acting."
