Ace's POV
After she said those 3 words to me, I froze. I didn't know what to say. She looked shocked that she had told me that. Akila got up. She was about to leave until I came back to my senses. I hurried up and got up. I pulled her to me, and I kissed her with everything I had in me. I looked into her eyes and said, "I love you too, Akila." She smiled, then wiped her tears away. Akila: Ahh, I hate crying. She said, while wiping more tears. I kissed her forehead. We forgot our parents were in the room, because all we heard was four voices saying "Ohhh." We looked at them, and we both rolled our eyes at them. I looked at Akila, and she was looking at the books that were on the table. Before I could ask her what they were, she pulled me to a seat. Then she gets one of the books and hands it to me.
Akila: "Open the book." I nodded my head, and opened the book.
