Week one of observing Xander: I discovered he was actually pretty nice.
When I dropped my pen, he, sitting in front of me, would eagerly pick it up.
Unlike Liam, who was cold and silent.
Liam sat there like an ice sculpture, never even turning his head.
Week two of observing Xander: I discovered he wasn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. Compared to the genius Liam next to him, it was... noticeable.
But I figured I needed some motivation to come to school, so I forced myself to have a crush on him.
I couldn't like Liam. He was too out of reach.
