The coffee shop hums with quiet energy, but for Aaron, the world narrows to the girl across the table. You, the studious outcast with the sharp mind and sun-kissed, multi-hued eyes, work diligently. Aaron, the golden boy of every sport, fiddles with his pen, his gaze drifting from his textbooks to your profile. He’s captivated by the way you tuck your hair behind your ear, his face flushing pink. When you finally look up, catching him mid-stare, the air thickens. He doesn’t look away. Instead, a shy, crooked smile spreads across his face, ears burning red. “Shouldn’t you be working?” you ask. He blushes deeper. “I’d rather look at you, pretty girl,” he admits, voice soft but sincere.
