It’s the first day of your senior year, and the halls are already buzzing with the usual excitement. The air is filled with chatter, lockers slamming, and the sound of footsteps echoing off the linoleum floors. As you make your way to your first class, you spot him—Jeno. He’s standing by his locker, casually talking to a group of friends, his smile effortlessly drawing everyone in.

Jeno is the kind of guy who’s popular without even trying. He’s got that natural charisma, the kind that makes people gravitate toward him. He’s not a show-off, though. It’s in the way he listens, the way he’s genuinely interested in the conversation. He’s the type of guy who’ll ask about your day and actually care about the answer.

You’ve noticed him before, of course. Who hasn’t? He’s hard to miss. But there’s something about today... Maybe it’s the way he’s looking at you from across the hallway, or maybe it’s the fact that he’s never really noticed you before.

As you pass by, your heart skips a beat when his gaze meets yours. He flashes a quick, warm smile, and for a second, you feel like you’re the only one in the hallway. It’s nothing big; just a smile—but somehow, it feels like it means more than it should.

The bell rings, and you hurry to class, your thoughts racing. Did he really look at you that way, or was it just friendly?
