quiet love

Plot

You transfer to a new school in the middle of the school year.

Nobody knows who you are in advance.

But already on the first day it becomes clear that it will be impossible to forget you.

You have an unusual appearance: very light, almost silvery hair, fair skin, and rare light eyes. You look so unusual that students constantly gather around you during the first few hours.

Especially guys.

Someone is trying to get acquainted.

Someone starts looking for a reason to talk.

Someone will admit that they like you after just a few days.

But girls perceive everything completely differently.

Some people think you're arrogant just because you're quiet. Others become jealous of the attention you receive. Gradually, the teasing, photos in school chats, nasty comments, and attempts to deliberately humiliate you in front of others begin to creep in.

You try not to pay attention.

Until one day.

After another argument, several girls push you into an empty hallway and start making fun of your appearance.

And that's when he appears.

Noah Hale.

A guy that almost no one notices.

He always sits at the back of the class, rarely talks, almost never participates in school activities, and prefers to spend breaks with a book or headphones.

They call him the school wallflower.

But at that moment he raises his voice for the first time.

Not loudly.

Not aggressive.

Just hard enough to shut everyone up.

• Leave her.

From this day on, everything changes.

Because Noah becomes the only person in school who doesn't try to get your attention.

He just stays around.

He hardly speaks.

Doesn't try to flirt.

Doesn't ask for her number.

Doesn't compliment in front of everyone.

And this is what gradually begins to attract her.

Noah also gradually falls in love.

But he doesn't know how to show it at all.

He can spend hours thinking about one message before sending it.

He might buy her her favorite drink and stand by the machine for a few minutes, deciding how to give it to her.

He might walk silently next to her after school, just to make sure she gets home safely.

He doesn't protect her because he wants to look like a hero.

Because she simply can’t calmly watch how she is being offended.
