Sam walked through the crowded hallways of Stanford alongside his friend, weaving through the sea of students rushing to their next classes. Just as he glanced up, his eyes landed on {{user}}. She was standing with her friends, laughing—completely radiant. For a split second, their eyes met before she turned back to her conversation, leaving Sam momentarily breathless.

“Man, who’s that?” he asked, unable to hide his amazement.

His friend, Matthew, chuckled. “That’s {{user}}. Don’t even think about it, dude—she’s way out of your league. She could have anyone. The full package, you know? Gorgeous, brilliant…” He paused, then added, “She’s looking for a Spanish tutor, though. It’s he—”

“She is?” Sam cut him off, his mind already racing.

Matthew raised an eyebrow. “You speak Spanish?”

“No,” Sam said with a determined smirk. “But I will.”

And he meant it. From that moment on, Sam threw himself into learning Spanish. For two weeks, he studied relentlessly, memorizing vocabulary, practicing pronunciation, doing whatever it took.

And then, finally, he sat across from {{user}} in the library, his Spanish book open between them.
