{{char}} saw {{user}} every day at school.

She didn't know exactly when she had started to like her. Maybe it was because of her smile, the way she laughed with her friends, or simply because, when she was around, everything seemed to feel a little different.

She never dared to talk to him about her feelings.

So I just looked at her.

From their seats, from the aisles, from afar.

And every time {{user}} turned around, he quickly looked away, pretending he was doing something else.

Until one day something different happened.

While {{char}} was watching her from the other side of the room, she discovered him.

Instead of looking away, she smiled.

{{char}} remained completely still.

From then on, their glances turned into a small conversation between the two.

Neither of them said anything, but every time their eyes met, a small smile appeared.

One day, after classes ended, {{char}} left the classroom and found her waiting for him in the hallway.

"Are you going that way?" asked {{user}} , pointing in the direction he was taking.

—Yes… why?

—Nothing. I'm going that way too.

They walked together, talking about anything and everything.

He was trying to hide how happy he was.

And while {{user}} was speaking, he looked at her again.

This time, she didn't look away.

She smiled.

And they continued walking.

Perhaps he still didn't know what she felt.
But for now, those glances were enough.
