I'm really happy to read your comments and suggestions, thank you! 🙂 I'll change the order of the numbers for the desperation level to be correct. Thank you for reading and have fun! 🙂   D

When the barista asked him what would he buy, Josh ordered the two coffees first.
"Anything else?" the barista asked him and now he seemed to be bored. 
Of course, I'm not a pretty girl, so he can't flirt with me.
But instead of being annoyed by the attitude of the barista Josh decided to buy a chocolate bar for Diana. Just to wish her good luck. 
When he left the the café he started to walk towards the university building and he sipped his drink slowly. He just loved coffee so much - it was like liquid energy and inspiration for him. He often drank coffee when he tried to express himself in one of his novels, and that taste...
 
He entered the classroom just a second before the professor so he hurried to Diana who was already sitting there.
"Here you are" he handed her the coffee and the chocolate bar. "And this is a small gift for you. You'll be great today."
"Thanks" Diana smiled at him shyly and she started to look for her purse.
"The coffee is a gift too" Josh shook his head.
"No, no, here you are" the girl gave him the cost of her coffee and left him ashamed for a few seconds.
Josh sighed in frustration. He just tried to be a gentleman! But today he wasn't lucky at all. He started to drink his coffee again and he didn't want to look at the girl next to him.
 
What should he do?
1. Try to concentrate on the professor
2. Try to start a conversation with Diana
3. Do nothing (he may realize his slight need to pee)
 
Desperation level: 2/10 (+2 from coffee will be added in the next turn)
 
 
Diana
 
She was extremely tired and she realized this at the moment when she sat down. It was difficult to stay awake during the lecture and it wasn't the professor's fault, it was because of the lack of sleep. This is why she was so happy when she received her coffee.
She drank the whole cup in two minutes and she hoped that it will help her to be able to focus. She planned to revise her notes for her presentation but when she opened her exercise book she started to feel panic growing in her chest.
And when she felt nervous she always felt a slight need to pee, so she just bit her lips for a moment. Okay, she needed to calm down.
 
What should she do?
1. Breathe (it will calm her down, but maybe Josh will notice her nervousness)
2. Try to read her notes
3. Ask permission to go to the bathroom
 
Desperation level: 3/10 (+2 from coffee will be added in the next turn)

He tried to focus on the lecture and the professor's words. Maybe it was the best decision he made this day because the topic was interesting and Josh started to think that they will have a test soon. It was really useful if he had his own notes from a lecture, because it made it easier to study.
After a while he noticed that the girl next to him seemed to be nervous, and his first thought was Diana's presentation.
Maybe she didn't have enough time to prepare?
Josh shook his head. He shouldn't be worried about a girl who refused his gift!
 
What should he do?
1. Ask Diana if she was all right
2. Focus on the lesson
3. Finish his coffee
 
Desperation level: 4/10
 
 
Diana
 
She desperately tried to revise her notes, but it was almost impossible now. She was sure that she will throw up when she will start to talk in front of everyone and the only thing that made her forget about her worst nightmare was her growing need to pee.
Diana crossed her legs and she breathe slowly - exactly the same way she did when she was doing yoga.
All right, let's try it again...
She looked at her exercise book and she nodded as she started to reread the first part of her presentation. She remembered everything.
But she won't have time to visit the bathroom before the presentation because she had to walk to another building after this class.
 
What should she do?
1. Ask advice from Josh
2. Leave earlier (she may be noticed by the professor)
3. She can hold it until the end of her presentation, no problem!
 
Desperation level: 5/10

He decided to ask Diana if she felt all right, because she seemed to be way too nervous.
"Hey... are you okay?" he touched her shoulder.
Diana shivered under his palm, so he let her go.
"I'm fine" she smiled at him weakly. Of course she was lying, Josh could tell it from her non-verbal communication.
He started to feel a bit frustrated because of her behavior. He just wanted to be nice, but she... she crossed her legs tightly and she bit her lips.
Oh. She may need to pee...?
As he wondered about her need he realized that he himself needed to pee a bit.
 
What should he do?
1. Ask Diana if she needed to pee
2. Finish his coffee anyways
3. Offer her coffee to Diana
 
Desperation level: 5/10
 
 
Diana
 
She really didn't want to talk right now. She wanted to focus on her notes or on the professor to make herself forget about the liquid in her bladder.
If she wanted to be honest, she liked Josh, but she was sure that she was unable to communicate properly and she didn't want to hurt him. She could be rude when she was nervous - just like in this case.
Diana hated that she was a paranoid type. It had so many disadvantages: she was bad at conversations, she was too shy and sometimes she overreacted ordinary things like the slight need she felt.
But she was an adult now, so she had to overcome her silly fear of pee accidents. That's impossible.
 
What should she do?
1. Try to talk (maybe she could distract her attention)
2. Try to relax

I'm really sorry for the delay, but here I am now.
 
Josh
 
He decided to finish the rest of his coffee instead of starting a conversation with the girl next to him. Josh was outgoing and cheerful in general, but now his mood wasn't good at all. As he drank all the liquid he had Diana became more and more squirmy. And somehow Josh found it cute even if he felt his own bladder being rather full.
He looked at her secretly until the end of the lesson, and when they started packing their exercise books and notes Josh realised that Diana waited for him to walk together to their next lecture. But he had to pee, so maybe he should visit the bathroom first.
 
What should he do?
1. Nothing, he should follow Diana
2. Mention his need to pee
3. Excuse himself and go to the bathroom
 
Desperation level: 6/10
 
 
Diana
 
The rest of the lesson was a bit better for her because she tried to think about good things. Like romantic scenes that would never take place in her own life... these fantasies helped her to relax and when the professor finished his speech Diana felt relief.
First she wanted to hurry, but then she started to feel a slight guilt when she looked at Josh. He was a really nice guy who just wanted to talk with her and what did she do? She was so rude! So Diana decided that this time she will be the one who starts a conversation.
"It was a bit boring, hah?"
"Yeah" Josh smiled at her, but somehow he seemed to be tense.
"Are you all right?" she asked him.
"Well... never mind."
 
What should she do?
1. Ask again
2. Wait for the answer
3. Offer to buy a coffee again
