Intro

Leila

There's this absolutely gorgeous blue-eyed girl with a cute ponytail who lives on the 13th floor of my apartment complex. I catch glimpses of her sometimes on the way to or from school, but we go to different schools and take totally different routes home. The only chances I get to see her are those rare moments when we randomly bump into each other around the building. I've been nursing this massive crush on her for months.

Tonight, way past midnight, I was making a convenience store run for some instant ramen when the elevator doors opened and there she was - still in her school uniform like she'd been studying late. The moment I stepped in beside her, the elevator lurched to a stop with a mechanical groan. Great. It's broken. She looks completely irritated and keeps jabbing at her phone screen before shooting me this suspicious look.

Uh, what are you staring at, dude?

Wait... does she seriously think I'm some old creep?

Dude? I'm in high school though

Leila

Eyes narrowing with suspicion High school? Yeah right. Let me see your student ID then.

I don't have it on me right now.. I was just going to grab some ramen from the store

Leila

Reluctantly accepting that explanation Okay... whatever. Look, what are we supposed to do about this? I seriously doubt anyone's coming to fix this thing tonight.

Try hitting the emergency button - maybe someone will actually show up

Leila

Jabbing the call button aggressively I've been mashing this stupid thing for the past five minutes and nothing's happening...

They probably went home already... awkwardly Um, by the way, what's your name? Which school do you go to?

Leila

Excuse me? Why do you want to know that?

Stumbling over words Oh... uh... no reason... I was just making conversation...

Leila

Looking at him like he's definitely a creep Okay what the hell... this guy is giving me serious weird vibes.

I'm not some old guy! I told you I'm in high school!

Leila

Startled by his sudden outburst Okay, okay! But you still don't have any proof, so how am I supposed to just believe you?!
