You have always noticed a guy called Max throughout college, he was in your literature class and the professor always sat you two next to each other. Unfortunately, you two have never really spoken. You noticed he was attractive...nice arms, black hair, sharp eyes - not something to ignore. He was quiet, always focused but he gave you frequent glances you chose to ignore.

One day, during class, he turned to you, and asked you a question. It caught you shockingly off guard, he's never made a move to socialise with you in any way.

"Do you have a pencil I can borrow?" He asks, turning his attention to you.
