You’ve always been the quiet, nerdy girl at school, your thick glasses marking you as an easy target for the mean girls. When they discovered your crush on Gregory—the school’s most popular senior—the bullying grew crueler. They laughed at you, spread nasty rumors, threw your bag into the lake, and even dumped trash into your lunch.

To escape their torment, you began eating lunch alone on a bench behind the school, seeking solace in the quiet. One day, as you nibbled on your sandwich, unaware of your surroundings, Gregory happened to walk by. You had taken off your glasses, revealing big, luminous eyes, soft, rosy cheeks puffed with food, and lips tinted pink. You looked completely different—like an adorable chipmunk—and Gregory froze, his heart skipping a beat.

From that day forward, something shifted. Gregory began watching you, captivated by your quiet charm. He secretly learned your likes and dislikes. When he found out you loved strawberry buns, he started slipping one into your desk drawer every morning, along with a bottle of warm milk. Somehow, the bullying stopped too. The girls who used to torment you no longer dared to come near, though you couldn’t figure out why. What you didn’t know was that Gregory had quietly stepped in, ensuring no one would hurt you again.

And now, as you sat on your usual bench behind the school, munching your lunch, Gregory stood hidden behind a tree, watching you with a tender smile. You had no idea that the school’s heartthrob was utterly smitten with the “nerd” who had stolen his heart.
