The rejection!

The people were murmuring things and the festival was probably just about to start pretty soon. 

Alisa stood in front of me. She looked directly in my eyes and didn't blink. "I can't really explain. I love you. I don't really have any reasons for it." She was speaking normally and yet, there was some sort of nervousness in those words and perhaps warmth. "When I think about you, my heart flutters, when I get near you, my heart beats faster and when I'm really near you, I almost get too hot. Well, I know how to control my feelings so I might-" She really got close to me and held my hand over her chest. "I really do love you."

Her chest was soft but- there was a different reason she was holding my hand over her chest. The reason- her heart. It was beating very fast. 

The sound of the world felt muffled. I could feel the warmth radiating from her. She was serious.
