The other student from different faculty walked towards her surrounding her in a circle going on their knees with the roses in their hands raised upwards at her some handed her different balloons and chocolate packs the held a heart cake are favorite strawberry icing she wondered how he knew her type of cake.
She was more surprised when he took a large giant teddy bear she had seen the other day in the store when he had brought her home from the clinic she didn't expect him to buy it for her.

Most of all the students were surprised Anthony was openly showing a girl attention confessing out feelings he wouldn't tell anyone the wondered how light did it the all had amazed expression on their faces.
" I...I.. d... don't know Anthony this all to much you see this as someone game or what " She spoke pulling away from his embrace her eyes filled with water tears about to fall from her eyes.
Anthony wasn't expecting such expressions or reaction from her he had put all his efforts in planning this special surprise he hoped in his heart she wasn't about to turn him down in presence of everyone standing it would be a big slap to his face and ego.
" What are you say light I did all this for you do you think am jocking right know am dem serious don't tell me you want to turn me down that would be on fair " He didn't know why he was suddenly getting angry his voice raising in anger by her attitude.

The students standing on the field felt sorry for Anthony they all saw light as proud and stupid to have turned down such a offer. The ladies had a deeper resent against her even more and the guys were thankful they weren't in Anthony shoes.
Peter walked over to Anthony who stood frozen with a cold plain expression he was about to place his hand on Anthony shoulder to comfort him but his hand was slapped away instantly.
" Anthony.." Peter tried to speak but his words were cut short by Anthony raised hand.
" Don't...I don't want to hear your pity talks I don't need a shoulder to cry on it not a big deal do what ever you like with the presents and gifts " He spoke in a cold tone storming off not looking back once.
Light head was hung low a ear piece plugged into her eyes as she listed to the music Anthony had just sang for her. she felt her heart twist in her chest she couldn't say yes because her own feelings were missed up at the moment her mind filled with questions that she couldn't get answer's too the fear of falling and being hurt terrified her enter being.
