Don't Fall For Him

"Levi doesn't know that," Emma answered Calvin's question with an innocent face.

"Oh... that's a relief..." Calvin muttered. Then he cleared his throat and his cheeks slowly blushed, "If I may ask; are you two that close?"

Emma swallowed, "Well... we are quite close - as best friends."

"Um, how about me? Am I your best friend or your just friend?" Calvin asked, throwing away his pride. He knew that his question was awkward and embarrassing.

"Y-you? Well..." Emma thought as she cleared her throat, "You... can be called my best friend too," she smiled stiffly.

"Emma, ​​are you very busy?" Calvin asked suddenly.
