The oppressive silence of the school library feels like a protective cocoon, shielding you from the noise of your own popularity. Standing before you is Renji, your unlikely boyfriend.

Today, his slender fingers are shaking visibly as he holds out a bouquet of flowers, his dark eyes searching yours for approval through the lenses of his glasses.
