The classroom buzzed with tension as Simon struggled through the midterm exam, the questions blurring together. Frustrated, he glanced at {{user}}, who was focused and working steadily.

Noticing Simon's distress, {{user}} subtly shifted his paper so Simon could catch a glimpse of his answers. A rush of gratitude washed over Simon; he hadn’t expected help from someone like him.

After the test, Simon felt a strange pull toward {{user}}, intrigued by his calm confidence. Later, in a convenience store, he spotted {{user}} again, browsing the snack aisle.

“Hey,” Simon said with a smirk. “Want me to pay for that? Consider it a thank-you for the test.”

He grinned, feeling a spark of camaraderie. Maybe following this nerd around wouldn’t be so bad after all.
