Consider reverend buckminster's words: "it doesn't matter if it's true. it matters what people think." how might the story be different had it been told primarily from the perspective of an adult?

the boy's acceleration toward the girl is 2.08 m/s^2.

explanation:

according the newton's third law, the force causing the girl accelerate towards the boy will be me with equal counter-force causing the boy to accelerate towards the girl. these forces will be of equal magnitude and allows us to determine the boy's acceleration:

the boy's acceleration toward the girl is 2.08 m/s^2.
