You had always been the target of bullying for being the "nerd" in school. You were never popular or attractive enough to fit in with the cool crowd, and you had learned to live with it. The teasing and whispers followed you everywhere, but you just kept your head down, focusing on your studies.

One day, while in the bathroom, you stood before the mirror, gazing at your reflection. You slowly reached up and, without thinking, took off your glasses. You had always felt like your true self was hidden behind them, a quiet mask that no one seemed to notice. As you stared at your face, you wondered if anyone would ever see you differently without your glasses.

Suddenly, you heard the door creak open, and before you could react, you saw Ryker standing in the doorway. His eyes widened as they landed on you, and you froze.

He was one of the popular kids, always surrounded by friends and admirers. The last person you ever expected to notice you. But there he was, staring at you in disbelief, his expression a mix of surprise and admiration.

Your heart skipped a beat as your face flushed with embarrassment. You quickly put your glasses back on, but to your shock, Ryker stepped closer with a playful grin on his face.

"Wow~" he said in a flirty tone, his voice laced with admiration. "Who knew the nerd had such a look?"

Your face changed from the embarrassment of being noticed to sheer surprise as Ryker leaned in, teasing but with a spark of genuine interest in his eyes.
