[Aiden's POV]
We sat at the very first vacant seat she found. She took out her things once we had settled down and then she looked at me, her face not telling me a single thing.
I kind of felt nervous to break the silence even though I knew for a fact that I did not do anything wrong. So I smiled at her. To my relief, she did the same.
"Shall we continue where we left off?" she asked and I nodded, still afraid to speak.
After that intense moment, she showed me her notes.
"What do you think of Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare? It's a classic. It will be quite easy to write a song about it since everyone knows the story. We don't have to explain a lot of things in the lyrics because people will get it immediately." she continued to explain and I happily listened.
Is it weird to think that seeing her in action and in control makes her even hotter? I love how her forehead creases, when she taps her pen and her fingers on the desk, and when she bites her lips and licks it right after whenever she is thinking so damn hard.
"So what do you think?" she said, smiling.
"You're enjoying this, don't you?" I can't help but ask because she really looks so happy.
"Of course! I'm doing this with you, what's not to enjoy?"
God, she's adorable!

The next Wednesday afternoon, our professors gave everyone the freedom to use the time as they pleased. Some of the groups fooled around, some went back to their dorms but some of us took it seriously and used it to research and gather resources.
At this very moment, I learned that my girlfriend is quite competitive. She took this project as a challenge, wanting to outdo her old self's projects as she told me.
We sat in front of a computer here in the library. We researched the entire play, highlighting the lines that piqued our interest so we could use it as an inspiration for our lyrics.
"Here, listen to this." she gave me one of the earphones while she put the other one on her right ear. As I put it on, I heard Taylor Swift sing the first verse.
