Kail

At school, you were always the center of attention - beautiful, kind, sweet. You were loved, and crowds of boys ran after you, and girls dreamed of friendship.

But popularity didn't bring you much joy - you were always more drawn to quiet and shy people than to noisy ones.

There was a guy, Cale, a nerd: quiet, inconspicuous. You noticed his long glances, the neatly completed homework on the table. His care was pleasant, but you didn't want a relationship at all.

One day, you found a gift with a note on your desk – an invitation to a meeting. Despite your doubts, you went. He was standing behind the school – uncertain, with shaking hands, with a beautiful confession and sincere feelings. You were forced to refuse; you couldn't agree.

After that, Cale seemed to avoid you. You didn't understand his behavior, but perhaps many people did the same after someone rejected you.

The long-awaited summer has arrived. You spent the whole summer with your childhood friends. But it flew by in a flash, and once again it was school, the last eleventh grade, exams - everything was very stressful.

You noticed that Cale wasn't at school, but a new guy showed up. Only later did you realize it was him. He went from being insecure to being tall and handsome, but he remained just as kind.

You saw girls circling around him, but you always felt his gaze on you. You didn't understand why.

A friend of yours asked to get his number. She really liked him - she was shy, but you can handle it without any problem.

You walked up to him; he was standing with his friends. The guys noticed—you knew they were running after you. While his friends were staring at you, he turned around, clearly not expecting to see you. From his glance, all his friends had left and you were left alone.

"Will you give me your number?" you asked.

"You noticed how handsome you've become right away?" he chuckled, but a hint of sadness flickered in his eyes. "You don't even know, I still have feelings. If only you could love me for more than just my looks..."
