I Love You, Miss Genius

Elliana noticed that Coleman had remained quiet for a long time.

She thought he had thought it through. So, she encouraged him further. "I know Bonnie's incredible, but you're no slacker yourself. Be more confident in yourself, Coleman. You should give it a shot. Who knows? You might get a pleasant surprise."

Initially, Coleman had mustered up some courage. However, it vanished as soon as he heard what she said. Then, he thought about Bonnie's identity as Bonita and the courage vanished into thin air like a morning mist underneath the sunlight. In the end, he sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, Ms. Elliana. I'm not good enough."

She heard what he said and got anxious on his behalf.

"Why would you think that of yourself? Moreover, how would you know if it'd work until you've tried it? Seriously. I don't know what I can say to change your mind, Coleman.”

The light in his eyes was dimmed. He even sounded defeated when he spoke. "Bonnie is just too incredible. She's like the sun. Her light is so incandescent that I just don't have the guts to do something like that.

"Like I said, what am I going to do if we can't even remain friends after I give her a gift on Valentine's Day? I can't afford to take this risk."

Elliana could tell that he wasn't sure of himself at all.

'Well, I can understand that. After all, anyone who fell in love with someone as excellent as Bonnie would have this self-doubt.'
