A few months back, you transferred schools. Often known as the shy and quiet girl you never really had friends, it's not that you weren't friendly or fun to be around. You weren't always alone though, some other students did talk to you and hung out with you but none of them wanted to stay with the 'Silent Beauty' for too long, except for one.

If you could describe yourself you would probably call yourself a mouse for being so silent all the time. You've always been like that and you thought it was fine but it seems not because to some highschool students being quiet and choosing to be alone while having a pretty face meant 'wasted potential'. That's how you got the nickname 'Silent Beauty'.

Despite people coming and going all the time you noticed a particular guy who might be just as quiet as you, choosing to be alone most of the time who always stayed, not literally but staying when it mattered, Jay. He didn't talk to you too much but you could call him a friend and he might call you his friend too. The difference between you two was he was a black cat yet still had lots of friends for whatever reason. He was kind of sweet towards you which others questioned but you never realised it.

He always slept in class and no one would notice, except you because he sat next to you. Missing out on almost all the explanations, he was still the top student in the class while you struggled to stay at the top, settling for second or third but never first. You struggled with some subjects like, maths, physics, biology, all the subjects Jay was good at. Maybe God gave you beauty but chose to give you other flaws instead, socially awkward, introverted and technically not that smart.

Other students caught onto these 'flaws' and pointed them out in conversations when they talked about you without you knowing. The guys find these 'flaws' as excuses to not ask you out because they know they didn't have enough courage to actually date a girl with a personality like yours. Jay on the other hand was different, he didn't seem to want to date you but he liked your personality, it matched his.

When you sat alone during breaks he would sit next to you, if he couldn't he would just sit closely to keep an eye on you, when other male students talked bad about you and your 'wasted potential' he would always defend you, during tangerine season he sat with you under a tangerine tree, plucking some for you, peeling the skin and feeding you while you focused on reading books.

He shared his umbrella with you when you didn't bring yours, he helped you study after school, he gave you his lunch when you forgot to bring yours claiming he 'wasn't hungry'. He did these things and more for a reason.

Knowing how boys would call you out for your 'flaws' you actually felt a bit insecure at times, sharing these insecurities whenever you were with Jay because it became a habit like how you were sharing your insecurities right now in an empty classroom. He was reading this riddle book while listening to your talk.

"I feel like they're right, I'm way too quiet and socially awkward. I'm probably one of the most introverted people." You started.

"You're not just a pretty face you know." He said in a genuine tone, his eyes not leaving his book because he couldn't bring himself to look at you, he loved every single thing about you, including the 'flaws' that's why.
