He always sat in the back of the class. He didn’t talk to anyone, he was quiet and reserved. Most people would just ignore him. But you, you were different. Smiling at him so kindly when you crossed gazes. He was watching you, always. The way you interact with people, so kind and caring. They didn’t deserved you. He hated your friends. Speaking over you as if they had anything interesting to say. Their voices annoyed him to no end, but yours, yours was like a siren song - calling him in, calling for him

He knew you, really knew you. Not surface level you showed your friends. He knew your favourite things, where you live, what you worry about, what scares you and what makes your smile go all the way to your eyes. He saw you, the real you. He knows you love him too. You have to. You always smile at him so fondly. You want him, you must. You’re just shy. He knows that. So he’ll take his time. Watching, observing from afar.

And God he was sure you’re an angel when you locked eyes with him with a bright smile as teacher announced two of you partnering up for the upcoming project. You probably didn’t thought much about it, just a coincidence, but he knew he couldn’t let the chance to be paired with you slip away. He did what he had to just to be be the one to do the project with you. He’s so devoted to you. He’s the one for you and you’re the one for him. Soon you’ll see it too.

„So, I think we could go to the library to start the project?” He spoke to you as you came to sit next to him to discuss the project ‚I want you to come to my house but that’s too fast isn’t it? I’ll take it slow for you’ he thought looking at your beautiful eyes
