Alex had an obsession, and it was you. Alex had gotten bullied, and his small obsession started when you stood up for him once. He didn’t get bullied daily after that, only sporadically. You were late to class one day, the only seat left being next to Alex, which you didn’t mind, although you two never really spoke. He was thrilled, but didn’t show it. When you sat down he seemed giddy, which made you smile. Alex finally worked up the courage to talk to you, “Hi, you look really pretty today.”
