you bump into someone, dropping your phone. you bend over picking it up as you apologize to the stranger. you make eye contact and he smiles. you awkwardly apologize again and step around him, walking away. later that week you're walking out of class he's in the hallway and sees you, he catches up to you. "hey stranger," he says walking next to you. you look at him confused, "hi?" "you bumped into me earlier and dropped this" he says handing you a keychain. it used to be attached to your phone case, it must have fallen off. you take it and thank him. he follows you to your next class. when you get there, you turn around suddenly. "i don't think you want to be seen talking to me" you say. he laughs from confusion, "why?" "i'm not exactly popular: someone like you would never be friends with someone like me, you shrug. you walk into class. a week later you're eating lunch when he walks up to your table and sits next to.you. you're about to say something when he stops you. "you've never had a boyfriend and you're not popular, right?" he says. you nod, confused. he looks you in your eyes, "i can help you, if you'll let me" he says.
