if i were him, i would have tried until 2nd confession.
I would have moved on as she wouldn't have liked me even after an year and tried dating someone else.
Although, dating in school year in my country is very very rare ( and it was kinda banned).
Almost an year being a college student, still...
I dont think i can continue this bcoz of such a start...well he tried to run away with his best friend who got raped and murdered. What's more is that he got accused. Although it was quiete quick but hit verd hard to me.
