you were a freshman in college, he was a junior

you couldn't help it

he was flawless

he was charming

he was Italian

and he was one of the most respectful guys you've met
back in high school, you didn't have an all too good experience with guys; they were all certified dicks

always fucking around, breaking hearts wherever they could

but him? No, he was different... you noticed it immediately

you didn't mean to fall for him but you did, just like a lot of other girls did

your friends did

all his classmates did

and so did you

I mean, it was almost impossible not to

he was everything you looked for in a guy...

Theo was the one who gave you a tour around campus on your introduction day

the way he carried himself, you've never seen someone like him before

you knew it was wrong to fall so quickly for someone, but how could you not?

after all, it was just a tiny innocent crush, right?

anyone had crushes, especially at school to make it more exciting

the exhilarating feeling of the waiting until weekend was over to see that one face once a day in the corridors of the busy halls

I bet that's where everyone gets their motivation to still show up at school

so... it's nothing more, just a... hallway crush...?

he showed you around campus the whole afternoon; showing you your faculty, the places that were important to know, and the dorms

he also showed you his hidden place to secretly smoke on campus

even though you didn't smoke and weren't planning to start, you still appreciated the gesture of him showing his secret hideout place to you

someone whom he had just met that day, you could've easily snitched already

"Don't ever start, then. Keep your lungs clean because once you go down into this hole, there's no getting out."

you always promised yourself not to smoke so promising him wasn't a big deal at all
but could it be that he was concerned about your health? Really?

you were probably looking into it too much, he most certainly acted with every girl like this
you couldn't help but think he broke a lot of hearts already because there was no way this man didn't get love confessions thrown around his head every other day

he seemed like the guy who got thousands of love letters in high school, all from the desperate girls who so needed to confess their love to someone who probably only spared them one glance

guess you were one of them too now

he helped you adapt to college the first few weeks

he texted you sometimes to see how you were holding up with the big change

he was thinking back on how hard his first weeks were at college

you couldn't help but fall for him (even more) even though everything was clearly meant as only friendly and nothing more

you got closer over the first semester and became quite good friends

so over the semester, you tried to make some advances, and you were sure he felt the same
it must be, right?
