you'll definitely come for me, right?

[ For the entirety of the week, there was nothing that Elisabeth had been looking forward to more than her study date with März. It was something that she couldn't quite get her mind off of, distracting her in most of her classes, but the scheduled day had finally arrived, and her heart was fluttering within her chest from anticipation. She waited at home, staring at the clock that seemed to torment her as the second hand ticked slowly, seeming as though the appointed time would never arrive. Although it was a study date, it wasn't a date in its official definition, but she couldn't stop herself from feeling as though it was one.

Elisabeth was absolutely smitten with the boy, but she did her best to conceal her feelings lest her feelings were unrequited. She pined for something more, but she was more than happy to sacrifice her desires so long as she maintained her friendship with März. She didn't particularly feel that he would feel the same way towards her; after all, she wasn't anything special. Her beauty paled in comparison to some of their other classmates - in particular, a girl with skin as white as snow, hair as black as ebony, and lips as red, and another girl with fair skin, long golden hair, and rosy pink lips - and she certainly wasn't as charming and popular as them.

She was just...Elisabeth, and that was precisely why she wouldn't ask for anything more. So long as she was by März's side, she was content. ]
