maybe you avoided eye contact one too many times…? You thought he was real cute. He was on the quieter side, but he was popular and a bit loud just with his friends. Every time you passed him in the halls, you two would lock eyes. Nervous, you’d look away. Well, maybe that happened a couple times too many.

isaac’s pov I think she hates me? I only have an A day elective class with her, and every time we lock eyes— poof. She looks away. I pass her in the halls constantly, more than before. Well, maybe I’m just more aware of how often I see her since I kind of look for her in crowds in the halls. I’m too scared to talk to her. A guy like me who has plenty of girls with giggly, cute crushes on me, too scared to talk to a girl who probably doesn’t like me. Maybe I’m just intimidating. Yeah, that could be it.
