"Ah-"
He looked up from his book, which was rapidly slipping out of his hands now
"....I'm sorry Gaston, but I'm really not interested..."
"...."
He took a deep breath, yanking his hands out of Gaston's and quickly catching his book before it fell, slipping it into his basket
"...I am not-nor will I ever be-interested in you. There's lots of other boys in the village-go bother one of them, and please leave me alone."
He quickly started walking away again
