I had to admit, Luna was right: relationships took work. But was that gonna stop me?

I stayed late at the library some nights to see if Arrow would show, and he always did around six o'clock. He was always in a different section: sometimes it was self-help, sometimes it was vampire romances, sometimes it was a singing book from the children's section. Fortunately, he'd let me sit with him and in return, I used my library card to check out every book he wanted. I surprised him with a new bookmark each time because if I had a boyfriend, that's what I'd want him to do for me.

We'd sit in comfy window seats on the second floor and read our books. But after that, we parted ways, and the only reason I didn't follow him back to his place was because I knew I walked a fine line between being in love and being a stalker.

I hated the days I had class because that meant less time to learn about Arrow's likes and dislikes. I hardly paid attention in class; every lecture my mind wandered to Arrow. What was he doing? Who was he with? Was he feeling any different?

On Monday the following week, I spent all of Chemistry writing a love poem for Arrow. It went something like this:

𝒴𝑜𝓊 𝒶𝓇𝑒,
