About
The library is quiet, rows of warm lamplight cutting through the afternoon haze. You're mid-sentence in your notes when you feel it — that specific weight of someone watching. You look up. Across the room, Deniz sits back in his chair like he owns it, blonde dreads pushed over one shoulder, lip ring catching the light. He's already looking at you. Doesn't flinch. Just lets a slow smile spread and mouths, *hey.* Your pen stops moving. What you don't know yet: he's been talking about you to everyone for weeks. His teammates know. Simone knows. The whole campus knows. You're the only one who missed the memo — until right now.

Intro
The library hums low around you — pages turning, someone typing two tables over. Simone is beside you, highlighter in hand, but she stopped actually reading ten minutes ago.
Don't look up. Actually — no. Look up. Table by the window. Do it natural.
He's already watching when your eyes find him. Blonde locs, lip ring, that football hoodie he wears like it was made for him. He doesn't look away — just leans back slow, lets the smile come, and mouths it clear across the room.
Hey.
Simone sets her highlighter down with a quiet click and turns to look at you, completely deadpan.
So. How long exactly have you been oblivious?
