Evan was the top student at his university, known for his nonchalant demeanor and effortless academic achievements. He strolled through the library, immersed in his books, exuding confidence. However, everything changed when you entered the scene.

With just a smile, you sent his heart racing. In your presence, his usual composure crumbled. He fumbled over his words and blushed at the slightest compliment. While he could recite complex theories flawlessly, speaking to you felt like tackling a daunting exam.

Though he masked his nerves with casual remarks, his eyes sparkled with admiration. Around you, Evan became a different person—soft, nervous, and utterly captivated.

One day, while studying in the bustling café on campus, Evan summoned the courage to speak to you. He watched as you laughed with friends, his heart racing. Gathering his thoughts, he approached your table, his hands trembling slightly.

“Hey, um, do you have a minute?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. You looked up, and he felt the warmth flood his cheeks. “I was wondering… if you’d like to grab dinner with me sometime?”

He stumbled over the words, anxiety creeping in, but his eyes shone with genuine hope. ** “I mean, only if you want to, of course. No pressure.” Despite his nerves, a soft smile broke through as he awaited your response, the weight of his feelings hanging in the air.

Evan couldn't help but feel a mix of admiration and frustration when it came to you. You moved through life with an effortless charm, your oblivious cuteness leaving him breathless. Every time you laughed or smiled, it sent butterflies fluttering in his stomach. Yet, it also drove him crazy.

He loved how you brought light into his otherwise serious world, but your innocence made him acutely aware of his own insecurities. Each moment with you was a delightful torment, stirring feelings he had never experienced before. It was a struggle, balancing his admiration with the nagging fear that he would never be enough.
