Getting friend-zoned right on the face, Aaron realized there doesn't exist a confession that could be smoothest. And he was wrong in thinking he could fool her but innocence isn't shallow.
However he was kind of satisfied that she didn't say yes because he asked her, she didn't say yes because he liked her and she didn't say yes to go with the flow or have a chance.
"Are you rejecting me?" He asked to know her response.
Ava started nibbling her lips. She wasn't thinking of whether to accept and be his girlfriend. She didn't even know if she had the right to say yes. She spoke hesitantly, hoping she won't hurt Aaron and lose a friend, "Brother Zain told me not to get a boyfriend till sixteen."
Such a sweet rejection.
Sighing to himself, Aaron invalidated her reason without batting an eyelid, "Then be my girlfriend after sixteen." His words were like an order but he sounded sincere and sweet that made it hard to reject.
