Just Another Experiment

No one ever believes me when I say this… but the hottest girl in my class chose me.

The quiet nerd. The dude nobody noticed. I was that guy. Head down.

Hoodie up. Back row. People talked around me, never to me.

And then there was her. Confident. Loud laugh. Always looked like

she knew something you didn’t. Way out of my league. After a late-night study session,

she sat closer than usual. Her knee brushed mine. Didn’t move away.

She leaned in and whispered, “You’re different when you’re quiet.” I didn’t know what

that meant— but my heart was losing its mind. She invited me back to her place.
