Once upon a time in a small sunny classroom, a young girl named Emily sat daydreaming.

Emily peered outside, watching the clouds drift by, whispering the name 'Jake' under her breath.

Her best friend, Lucy, leaned over with a smile. 'Who's Jake?' she asked with twinkling eyes.

Emily’s cheeks turned pink. 'Just a boy I know,' she mumbled, looking down at her hands.

Lucy grinned and whispered back, 'He must be special if he's on your mind during math class!'

Emily nodded shyly, her heart fluttering like a butterfly trapped inside a jar.

At recess, Emily played hopscotch but couldn't shake the thoughts of Jake's kind smile.

After school, she saw Jake at the park. They exchanged shy glances but didn't talk.

Back home, Emily grabbed her diary, carefully writing about her feelings for Jake.

That night, Emily lay awake, wondering if Jake felt the same way about her.

The next day, Emily decided to be brave. 'I'll talk to Jake today,' she resolved.

With a racing heart, Emily approached Jake. 'Hi,' she said. 'I like your smile.'
