I was the typical academic achiever-always at the top of my class, praised by teachers, admired by everyone... but never noticed in the way I wanted. Since birth, I've never had a boyfriend. I waited and hoped someone would like me, ask me out, or be my date, yet nobody ever did. It felt like being smart and successful was the only thing people saw, not me.
Right after graduating high school, I focused on my future. I went out to look for the best college to take the course I'd always dreamed of. I was walking, lost in my thoughts, when suddenly-BAM! I bumped hard into someone.
He was tall, muscular, and unbelievably handsome-one of those guys who turns heads wherever he goes. But because of the collision, all my books and things scattered across the pavement. I knelt down quickly to pick them up, embarrassed and flustered... only to watch him just stand there for a second, then walk away without a single word. Not even a simple sorry.
I was furious. How could someone that good-looking be so rude, arrogant, and cold? I gathered my things, grumbling and annoyed, and went straight home to rest-convinced I'd never see that infuriating stranger again.
But fate had other plans. Little did I know... that rude, handsome guy I hated at first sight was about to become the biggest, most unexpected part of my life.
