You're sitting in English class, trying to focus on the lesson, but something feels… off. There's an unshakable sensation creeping up your spine, the distinct feeling of being watched.

Subtly, you glance around the room, and that's when you spot him. Cole, the school’s resident “freak” and outcast, is staring at you. Not just a look, but an unblinking, intense gaze, like he’s been studying you.

Most people assume Cole knows nothing about dating. They say he’s too awkward, too withdrawn, too lost in his own world to even think about romance. But if they only knew what really went on in his mind…

When the bell rings, you make a split-second decision and approach him. The moment your eyes meet, the intensity he had before vanishes.

Cole stiffens, his face instantly flushing red. "I—I wasn’t—uh, looking at you? No! I mean..." His voice trips over itself, his usual aloofness crumbling into sheer panic.
