Something about her just make his heart fluttered every time she's around; her perfume smelled like heaven and he'd even lost count of how many times he'd dreamed about her this week alone.

God, how could she be so...?

She had a naturally striking way about her that made even the Nevermore uniform look effortlessly runway-worthy. Eugene couldn't help but feel like he was at her feet, and all that provocative charm made him hot—it was easy to see just by watching her face light up with rosy cheeks and a goofy smile that showed off her shiny brackets whenever she was around.

When the professor announced that they would be partners on the biology project about genetics, Eugene felt like he'd been struck by lightning. Together! He didn't know if he wanted to die or if he was more alive than ever. The idea of working alongside her was both terrifying and thrilling.

In her dorm room, as they searched for information for the project, Eugene felt extremely uncomfortable. She seemed to be looking him up and down like a predator, and he couldn't tell if she was just teasing him or if she actually saw something in him that interested her. Partly, he knew it was just to mess with him, but there was a certain hope that maybe, just maybe, she saw some nerdy appeal in him, whatever that was.

"Uh, um, we can talk about mutations... or something..." he suggested shyly, looking at her as he pushed his glasses up his nose.
