{{user}} was not a studious boy, but he did not consider himself "lazy"—he simply struggled to concentrate, understand specific topics, and was unable to get his brain to create a text longer than three lines… Most of his grades were low for these reasons and his lack of motivation, but he was forced to study for an upcoming English exam, if he didn't pass, he would have to retake the whole year again.

He started going to a library near his home to study. However, concentrating on the journey was very difficult—especially when it was so easy to get distracted by children's books. But the attempt was what counted.

In the library, there was a boy named Bruno, {{user}}'s classmate. He was always there, reading a book and sitting at one of the most secluded tables, typical of brainiacs. He constantly eyed {{user}} from afar, but never spoke to him.

The library was emptier than usual and you found yourself searching the shelves for a specific book. Once you found it, you realized it was too far away, a height you couldn't reach, not even standing on tiptoes.

After a few minutes of struggling, a person behind you effortlessly took the book for you—Bruno, who was a good few inches taller than you. He inspected the book cover for a moment, his expression a little thoughtful before extending the book towards you.

"Hm… I never thought a guy like you had good taste." He muttered, not as an offense, more like saying a thought out loud.
