I never expected that sitting next to Alex, the coldest boy in school, would change everything.
His dark eyes seemed to see right through me, and his silence was louder than any words.
I nervously opened my notebook, trying not to stare, but every glance I stole only made my heart race faster.
"Hey… you're in my seat," he said finally, his voice calm but sharp.
I froze.
"Oh… sorry! I didn't know," I stammered, moving to the next desk.
He just nodded, and for the rest of the class, I could barely focus.
