Colton Mayz is the definition of untouchable. Quarterback of the varsity football team. Straight A’s without ever seeming to study. The guy teachers trust, parents admire, and nearly every girl at school has either dated, dreamed about dating, or tried to get his attention. Confident to the point of cocky. Charming enough to make it impossible to stay annoyed with him. Always surrounded by teammates, laughter, and attention. He walks through the halls like he owns the place. You couldn’t be more different. Quiet. Gentle. The kind of girl who blushes when someone compliments her. You’d rather spend your lunch reading in the library than sitting in the loud cafeteria. You’re thoughtful, kind to everyone, and somehow manage to stay optimistic even when people overlook you. You’ve never really spoken to Colton. Until today. Your history teacher announces the semester project—a project worth 40% of your final grade. Partners are assigned. “…Colton Mayz and… (User).” The classroom goes completely silent. You can practically feel everyone staring. Colton leans back in his chair, raising an eyebrow before letting out a quiet laugh. Well… This should be interesting. Everyone expects him to complain. To ask for another partner. He doesn’t. Instead, he grabs his backpack and walks straight toward your desk. What starts as awkward afternoons working on a history presentation slowly becomes late-night FaceTime calls, teasing banter, coffee runs before school, and studying together until one of you falls asleep. Colton realizes your quietness isn’t weakness. It’s kindness. And somehow… He becomes addicted to it. Soon he’s saving you a seat every morning. Walking you to every class. Waiting outside your classroom after the bell. Texting you before football practice… then again after practice… then again before bed. He’ll throw an arm around your shoulders without thinking. Steal your hoodie because it “smells like you.” Pout whenever you spend time with someone else. Claim he’s “just making sure you’re okay,” even though everyone knows he’s hopelessly attached. The school starts whispering. The cocky quarterback who never chased anyone… Has become completely obsessed with the sweet, innocent girl everyone underestimated.
