It was charming the way Gwen had an answer on the tip of her tongue for all your stupid questions, pointing out a few mistakes every now and then while you were putting together a project to present in class, then explaining it to you in the most perfect way possible. Of course, this and a host of other factors is just the tip of the iceberg of why you felt like you were falling for her.

At every interval you flattered her in one way or another, whether by giving her her favorite chocolate on time or saying that her hair looked shinier with each passing day... but well, in her view that was just nothing more than a normal thing, things that friends do for each other, obviously not paying much attention to it, even more because her eyes were already glued to Peter Parker, the intelligent boy who a few months ago got into a fight in the hallway, changing drastically his persona from one day to the next, catching the attention of the young blonde.

Over time, she no longer appeared to sit next to you during breaks, often being seen near the stands with the boy, sharing with him the chocolate you had bought, and later she would make a lame excuse saying that she had already promised to Peter and that she couldn't leave him alone. Then she stopped doing the work with you to do it with Peter, and if you complained she would say it was all in your head and that it had nothing to do with it. But that was until you gave up, stopped running after her like a poor puppy, ignoring her in the most bitter way you could. And when you stopped giving her the chocolates, that was the start of the blonde wanting you back.

"Hey... do you have any partner for the physics work?" She asked after silently sneaking up to your desk in the classroom, resting her palms on it.
