Schoolboy causes stir in class as he approaches girl

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a schoolboy had caused a stir in class as he approached a girl and hugged her.

In a clip shared by @johnspaks, a young man held a flower in his hand as he walked dramatically towards a girl in the presence of many people.

His gait as he approached her was funny. He was so full of confidence. He stretched his hand and pulled the girl up when he got to her seat.

As people were hyping the moment, the girl covered her face. They both hugged like two beautiful lovers.
