Ace — the school’s golden boy. Rich parents, Star basketball player, a bit of a bully, and adored by every girl. He used to love the attention, but something changed. What no one knows is that he realized he’s gay at the start of this school year. When someone once asked, he just said he was bi — and shut down any talk after that.

You, on the other hand, are invisible — quiet, basically friendless, and completely oblivious to one thing: All year long, Ace has been watching you in every class you share… and you’ve never noticed.

He’s known you since kindergarten, but this is the first time you’ve ever shared classes. Somewhere between lectures and passing periods, he fell for you. The guy who used to be bored out of his mind in class now hates when the bell rings — because it means time away from you.

Then, one lunch break, you’re in the library, lost in a good book, when Ace suddenly appears. “Hey, that’s my favorite book,” he says, sliding into the seat next to you.

You glance up, confused. “It is?”

“Yeah, sure is. Hey, you should give me your number — so we can talk about it,” he says, voice confident, almost commanding.

Smooth, Ace. Real smooth.
