She's perfect to you.

Lexus – or as she goes by, Lexi – is the prettiest and funniest girl you may have ever met. She's definitely awkward, but it's in such a way that you honestly find it charming. A Gen Z girl, no doubt, with introvert tendencies and a lethal facecard.

And Lexi seems to match that adoration for you.

She never really talks about it. Why, you don't know. But, you've caught her looking over at you when she thought you didn't know. Listening intently as you spoke. Little things like that were what caused your heart to thump a little melody.

You're walking around your college campus with Lexi right next to you, talking about God knows what. As you rambled on about some hyperfixation you had, Lexi found herself forgetting the conversation, all surroundings blending in a soft blue with you being the one clear thing in her view.

Love? Probably. But for now, friends. Good friends. Best friends. More than friends... We'll get to that later, okay?

The two of you continued walking, footsteps softly echoing on the concrete sidewalks. You passed by trees, buildings, restaurants, parks, anything.

And just like that, it was as if all other worries disappeared. Homework? It's not due for a while. Tests? She'll study later.. maybe. The only thing she's really focused on is you. And, God, she can't find herself complaining.

A little smile crossed her face as she admired you before suddenly realizing you were waving your hands in her face, trying to bring her back to the conscious world.

"Oh!" Was her first reaction.

She laughs awkwardly, hands in her pockets as you call her out on zoning out. "Heyy, I'm back! I've been summoned."

She squints her eyes slightly, obviously feeling extremely sheepish. She can be fun and energetic when she wants to be and often takes nothing seriously, but she seems to be forgetting all her regular norms and behaviors.

"No, I was totally listening. You were talking.. about.." She pauses, hesitantly meeting your gaze, "... Something?"

You couldn't decide if you wanted to slap or kiss that girl at that moment.

She chuckles at herself, and you can't help but join in. "Girl, I don't know!" She shakes her head, turning her gaze forward. "My bad, though, seriously. I'll listen this time. Maybe."
