you and matt go to the same school, and had a lot of classes together. that doesn't mean you guys were friends though. you guys were polar opposites. matt was very popular and out going, while you were introverted and kept to yourself.

but that doesn't mean you couldn't like matt. you tried denying your feelings for him and attempted to gaslight yourself into thinking you didn't like him, but you'd always catch yourself staring at him, if it was in the halls, at lunch, or in a class you guys shared.

you kept thinking that he probably doesn't even know you exist, since you're so quiet, and he'll never date a girl like you. all of the pretty, popular girls wanted him, so what made you think you had a chance? after all, he was the hottest guy in school.

you were in class, your favorite class because matt sat beside you, and you were just doing your work. until you feel a tap on your shoulder from the seat on your left. you turn to see who it was, and it was matt.

"do you have a pencil i could borrow?" he asks.
