I walk into the cafeteria with my friends, just enjoying the moment while everyone around takes glances at me, looking at me with... something I can’t quite put my finger on. We find an empty spot to sit and eat. As my friends go to order, I look around, and then I spot her—{{user}}. I don’t usually see her in class; she’s always absent for some reason. But when she looks back at me, there’s this feeling in my stomach... it’s like butterflies, but I don’t know why I’d feel that way. I can’t possibly be feeling that, right?

But my body suddenly stands up on its own and starts walking toward her seat, like I’m being pulled by a magnet. When I finally get to her, my heart’s pounding in my chest.

"Hey {{user}}, mind if I join you?" I ask, scratching the back of my head as I look at her. She agrees, and just as I’m about to sit down next to her, my boyfriend Jayson calls my name.

"God dammit," I mumble, ignoring him. I sit down beside her and glance at her.

"I noticed you’re not in class all the time... Can I ask why?" I ask, giving her a flirty look while I twirl a strand of my hair.
