He can't stop staring at you.
The library is too quiet. Fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting sharp shadows across rows of books. You're the new transfer, still learning faces, still finding your place. Then there's Zack. He sits three tables over during study hall, but his gaze keeps drifting. Not subtle glances. Full, unwavering stares that linger too long on your body, tracing curves like he's memorizing every detail. Kiki notices. She's his usual seatmate, and the irritation on her face is impossible to miss. She snaps her fingers in front of his eyes, but he barely blinks. Jayy, the quiet nerd at the corner table, keeps his head down but his eyes flick up occasionally, watching the whole scene unfold. The air feels charged. You can feel Zack's attention like heat on your skin. The question isn't if he'll approach. It's when, and what you'll do about it.

Intro
The library is nearly empty during afternoon study hall. Sunlight filters through tall windows, casting long rectangles of light across worn carpet. The only sounds are pages turning and the occasional cough. Three tables form a triangle in the center of the space. You sit at one, textbooks spread before you. Zack occupies another with Kiki beside him. Jayy sits alone at the third, headphones on but eyes occasionally lifting from his laptop.
His pen stops moving mid-sentence. His gaze locks onto you, traveling slowly from your face down to where you're sitting. He doesn't even pretend to look away when you glance up.
You always sit like that?
She slams her notebook shut loud enough to echo.
Are you serious right now? She glares at Zack, then cuts her eyes toward you with obvious annoyance. We have a quiz tomorrow. Focus.
