I think that Derek felt sad and lonely because no one was friends with him because he stood out. In the middle, I think that Derek felt a little happier because of the courage he got for giving all those gifts to Lila. At the end, Derek probably felt so heartbroken when Lila threw the rose on the ground because every saw what had happened. When Lila picked the roses backed up, he maybe thought that he had a little chance with Lila.

If I were Derek, I would feel a little sad but wouldn't let it affect me that much. Derek usually doesn't care about what other people think of him but he has a crush on Derek. When Lila rejected the flowers, I would be really embarrassed. But if she then accepted the flowers, I would be grateful.

I think Derek  would feel sad and heartbroken. she threw the roses he got her on the floor he might have felt better when she picked them up but he might have felt alot sadder if he knew she didn't really like him but she carried them for the whole day and he basically thought she threw them away when her friends left.

at the beginning of the story I could tell that Derek was sad and embarrassed. Also no one wanted to be with him

I think Derek felt sad because he was neglected by people and bullied and made fun of, and then he did something that made him happier, which was to give Lila small gifts everyday and then he brought her flowers one day for her and she was so disgusted for no absolute reason and wanted to reject them but she knew if she did Derek would cry and Lila's friends would make fun of him even more for being a "crybaby"

I think in the beginning, Derek probably felt alone because of Lila's friends bullying him. In the middle of the story Derek felt confident and started leaving gifts in Lila's locker because she wasn't bullying him for being different. In the end of the story Derek must have felt sad that Lila threw the flowers on the ground in front of her friends, and when Lila picked them up and carried them all day, Derek must have felt relieved because he thought that Lila's friends were going to bully him about it.

I believe that Derek felt sad since he was getting picked on by her mean friends. Moving through the middle of the story he started giving her secret gifts maybe because he had started to take a liking to her. Since she wasn't the one making fun of Derek, he thought that she was different maybe? Derek probably felt truly melancholy at the end of the story when she yelled at him, but maybe he got a sliver of hope when she was carrying them around all day.

In the beginning, Derek probably felt sad, and rather embarrassed due to the bullying and teasing from Lila's friends. When he started to give Lila gifts, he must've felt a bit more happy, having a crush on her. Though he might've been a bit sad since she never took full notice to the gifts, but he was still determined. Lastly, He must've felt heartbroken at first to see Lila throw his flowers to the ground. But once she picked them back up he must've felt happy knowing that she somewhat cared about him to the point where she won't let him get made fun of for crying.

I believe that he was sad and confused due to the fact that Lila was always nice to him and out of nowhere acting like everyone else and treating him like how her friends did. I could also imagine the second hand embarrassment he felt as he got rejected by his crush and the only person who treated him like the everyone else. He also began to cry which would have been embarrassing due to the fact that everyone was eating lunch in the same room.

I can assume that at the beginning of the story Derek must've felt really alone. He was being isolated just because everyone assumed he was different. In the middle of the story, when he started expressing his affection he must have felt excited or nervous but at the same time he must have been pretty sad because of how she (Lila) reacted. At the end of the story, when Lila threw the roses to the ground he probably felt super dejected and embarrassed but then felt a little better when she picked them up.

He felt this way because he probably got used to her and thought he really had a chance.At the end when he got rejected he was heartbroken because he was giving her a lot of gifts and finally got courage to ask her out and got rejected

I think that Derek felt sad because I don't think he liked how Lila's friends were saying mean things  about him, just because he was different.  In the middle of the story I think that he was  proud of him self for giving her the little gifts. At the end I think that he felt  embarrassed and hurt because he worked up the courage to finally give something to her in front of everyone, so that she could just throw them on the ground. But then when she picked the roses up and she  walked around  the school with them I think he felt grateful because he didn't want to be made fun of even more and because she actually took the roses instead of leaving them on the ground.

At the beginning, Derek had felt lonely.  He would bring Lila gifts all the time, although he was different from her. One day he brought her roses but she had rejected them and threw them on the floor. During that moment, Derek felt embarassed and really sad. But Lila decided to stick with the roses and hold them for the rest of the day which made him feel good about himself, confident, and just happy.

At the beginning of the story I can imagine that Derick felt like he didn't fit in anywhere. I think he felt this way because no one wanted to be near him. In the middle of the story Derick started to give a girl these gifts. I think that maybe he either liked her or just wanted a friend. At the end I think that Derick felt embarrassed and broken because he decided to go up in front of everyone and give her flowers and she threw them to the ground like he did something to her. But when she picked them up and walked with them throughout the day I think he felt appreciated.

At the beginning of the story, I can assume that Derek felt very sad and embarrassed. I think that he felt this way because nobody liked him since he was different. Towards the middle of the story, Derek probably felt a little better about himself because he built up the courage to give gifts to Lila. At the end of the story, when Lila threw the flowers on the floor, I think that Derek felt very embarrassed and sad. After Lila picked up the flowers and carried them with her, I think Derek felt happy because she was starting to treat him nicer.

In the beginning when he had couraged to give her gifts he probably felt giddy. When she lashed out at him he felt bad, sad and embarrassed, but when she accepted flowers he probably felt happy and a little bit good about him self.

At the beginning of the story, I believe that Derek felt sad that Lila's friends were making fun of him. But in the middle of the story, Derek probably realized that Lila didn't make fun of him, so maybe he assumed that she liked him and he got the courage to give her gifts. At the end of the story, I believe that Derek felt heartbroken when he realized that Lila did not actually like him, but got a bit happier when she took the roses, since he didn't cry afterwards.

At the beginning of the story, I can assume that Derek felt embarrassed or alone. Because the girl that he liked would ignore him. I think Derek felt brave because she started to bring Lila little gifts. And I think he thought if he could give Lila little gifts she might feel the same way and she would stop ignoring him. I think that Derek felt sad and embarrassed because Lila embarrassed him in front of the whole school. When Lila picked up the flowers I think he felt happy and embarrassed he was happy that she liked the flowers , but he was embarrassed because he was about to cry in front of the whole school

At the beginning, Derek developed feelings towards Lila even though her friends bullied him. He than began to give her gifts in secret to her every few days to show how he felt about her. Even though she didn't acknowledge the presents, he continued to send them. After a while, Derek decided to confess his feeling towards Lila and stood up during lunch time and handed her a card and flowers. Lila, being embarrassed and angry at him, refused and yelled ¨GO AWAY¨. Heartbroken, Derek was about to cry in front of everyone, but Lila who could not stand to see him like that, felt pity and acted by picking up the flowers and continued to carry the flowers around school. This probably made Derek relieved to see that she accepted the flowers and kept them.
