(Y/N)'s POV
I was the girl known as the pretty nerd. I had a pretty face and body, but I was a nerd with huge glasses and braces. Guys usually overlook me because I skipped a grade and am super smart and girls hate me for being well just me. I was really shy and didn't really talk to anyone. It was my second year in Uni, and I was basically alone. I was a med student, so I just studied most of the time. I had moved out of the dorms because my awful roommate and my boyfriend cheated. Did I forget to mention he cheated with my roommate? My best friend decided last minute not to attend the same school as me and move across the whole world. So, being alone was an understatement.
I was walking to class; I had just gotten my braces off and was late to class. I walk in and the teacher still wasn't there. "Thank God," I think to myself.
I take a seat towards the middle of the classroom next to a group of three boys I went to high school with. They were talking about some girls from the dance team. I sit down next to one of them and they look at me then start whispering. I ignore them then put my headphones on.
Kamal's POV
"Hey Guys, is that the girl Kamal likes?" Taehyun says teasing me.
"The girl he has liked since High school but won't admit it?" Beomgyu says punching my arm.
"Yes, that is. I wish I could just go up to her, but I'm nervous and don't know what to say." I stare at her taking her books out setting them in front of her.
"Good morning class" The professor enters the room. "today we will be talking about the psychological effect the world has on the LGBT community." (Y/N) takes her headphones off and listens intently to the teacher.
I was out of my comfort zone. I am an art student but thought this class would be fun. (Y/N) is a medical student and is literally the smartest person I know besides one of my seniors. I was shaken out of my thoughts when Beomgyu passes me a note.
Hey, Kamal ask (Y/N) to lunch with us.
I look at the note smiling at the support of my friends.
2 HOURS LATER
The class had ended and I watch as (Y/N) packs up her things and sits there waiting for everyone to leave. This is my chance. Why am I so nervous? I try to gain confidence as I make my way across the aisle.
"Hey (Y/N)" I walk over to her seat.
"Oh, Hi!" She looks up at me and smiles then looks down.
"Oh, you got your braces off?" I say as she smiles at me.
"Um... Yeah, how did you know I had braces?" I start to blush.
"Um... Um..." I got really nervous.
"Forget it I need to go." She gets up.
"WILL YOU GO TO LUNCH WITH ME!!" I blurt out as she turns around to me.
"Are you sure?" I open my eyes to see her standing in front of me now.
"Yes, I am" I smile at her. She thinks about it for a few minutes then a sad expression came over her face as she saw Taehyun and Beomgyu walk in.
"I don't want to embarrass you plus it seems like you already have plans." She gestures her head to the boys standing behind me. I tried to get words out, but she was already walking away. I punch them both for ruining that.
"Thanks a lot, you two." I run my hands through my hair in frustration.
"sorry" they both murmur.
"What do you need?" I ask obviously annoyed.
"well we were waiting for you, but it took so long we were worried." Beomgyu has a guilty look on his face.
"Well because of that you scared her off and now I have to try again. Do you two understand how long I have liked her and now I got a chance and you blew it." I walk out leaving them flabbergasted at my reaction. I'm usually quite a calm and collective guy. I very rarely lose my cool. I take out my phone and text my seniors.
Me: Hey can you find (Y/N) at the canteen and sit with her until I get there, please.

She looks like this.
Soobin: is this the girl you have had a crush on forever?
San: You are finally making a move?
Me: yes and yes just do it please.
Wooyoung: Gotcha
Yeonjun: Sure thing
(Y/N)'s POV
I walked out of the room, but something stopped me. I heard the boys talking and you know curiosity kills the cat. I was standing by the door when I heard Kamal say he liked me. I was a smiling fool, but I knew that would go away soon. I walked to the canteen and sat at a table by myself. I then had 4 seniors at my table looking at me.
"Um... Yes?" I look at them obviously confused.
"Oh, we are just holding someone's seat." The tall one with Dimples said.
"Oh, sorry ill move" I start to pick up my stuff
"No stay, I'm Wooyoung, that's Soobin, Yeonjun, and San." He introduces himself and everybody else. I nod my head at them and sit quietly before introducing myself.
"I'm (Y/N)" I say shyly. "Um, who are you waiting for?" I ask as I saw Kamal, Beomgyu, and Taehyun walking to the table and sitting down. Kamal sat next to me.
"I texted my Seniors to keep you company until I arrived." He looks down at me smiling.
"I thought you had plans. I should go." I start to get up and walk away but Kamal grabs ahold of my wrist and turns me to him.
Kamal's POV
"(Y/N) wait" I turn her into me. She looks at me with those innocent eyes that have been through way too much.
"I don't care what people think. I care that I have held onto feelings for too damn long to let you believe I'm not interested in you. I am about to burst. I see you sitting and walking alone. I see you studying really hard without having fun. I see your soul die in your eyes every time someone says something bad about you. Well, all that ends now. I like you and I want to get to know you and eventually make you mine. I don't care what I have to do but-"
"Okay okay shhh" She moves closer to me. "Everybody is staring" She whispers. I look around and everybody's eyes are on us.
"So, your answer is?" I ask her totally aware that I made a fool out of myself. I look back at the boys because she was taking too long to answer. All of a sudden, her arms are around me and she hugs me.
"I heard you talking in the classroom before I got here." She shyly smiles up at me. We sit back down at the table and she holds my hand. The boys start to tease me, but I didn't care I was really happy.
