Love Me Back

Deja likes a guy with a weird name. She saw him for the first time at orientation. Smokey hazel eyes. Crooked smile. Dimpled cheeks. She thought she'd never see him again, but then she saw him in Freshman comp, then Calc 1, and now General Bio.

Dacre likes a girl with a weird obsession. He saw her for the first time at orientation. Thick coily hair. Rosebud lips. Beauty marks. He thought he'd never see her again, but then he saw her in Freshman comp, then Calc 1, and now General Bio.

So Deja likes Dacre, and Dacre likes Deja. Yet neither of them knows. Their friends always tell them to make the first move. Maybe it's their lack of experience, or fear of rejection, but they just continue to like each other from afar.

Once again, they're in the same class. Only this time they're placed in the same group. On top of that, they're neighbors now. So now they see each other almost every single day. Now, greetings turn into conversations, conversations turn to laughter, laughter turns to friendly touching. Who knows what could happen next? Friendship, romance, or something else?
