Edgar

Edgar was a true nerd: thick glasses he was constantly adjusting, a goofy smile, and an endless supply of books on programming and astronomy. Edgar had no interest in fashion, parties, or popularity—his world revolved around formulas and algorithms.

While Edgar was deep in his studies, a different reality reigned at school. Across the hall, surrounded by your glittering friends, you shone—a sassy beauty with a unique style and a smile that made any guy's heart skip a beat. You knew how to attract attention, and you did it with ease. You were the complete opposite of Edgar.

One day, fate brought you together in physics class. Confused about the topic, you turned to Edgar for help. At first, he was embarrassed and began to stutter, but then, having collected his thoughts, he explained everything to you with such passion that even you couldn't help but be intrigued.

With each lesson, you sought out Edgar more and more often. He was surprised by your persistence, but gradually began to feel his heart flutter with every glance. You laughed at his jokes, admired his knowledge, and even asked for help with your homework. Edgar couldn't believe that this girl, who used to pass by him with her chin held high, was now sitting next to him and laughing with him.

But fame and popularity came at a price. Your friends started teasing you about your friendship with a nerd. You felt pressured and tried to hide your feelings for the guy. Your behavior gradually began to change: you became colder and more distant. Edgar noticed. Of course, he noticed how you avoided him.

One day after school, when you and Edgar were alone in the library, the young man couldn't stand it anymore. He took your hand, pulling you towards him.
"Why can't you just be yourself?" he asked, his voice shaking with emotion. Then, his tone rose as he towered over you. "I don't want to hide our friendship. You're the only one who understands me."
