"I loved you...in ways I know how."
~~***~~
In a lab, there are manuals on how to do an experiment. There's a standard, step-by-step process and an expected result.
But in love, there's no such thing as manuals. Love can come in different ways. Love can be shown on different sides. Two people, who are so different, can still feel the same attraction to each other. Love could still bloom.
Calliope Mitchelle Agustin and Nikolai Altheo Garcia are two people with contrasting personalities and different outlooks in life. Nikolai is silent. Calliope is loud. Nikolai is meticulous and serious. He wants things planned out. Calliope is spontaneous and fun. A ball of sunshine who goes with the flow in everything. Nikolai lives for the future. Cal lives in the moment.
For Calliope, these differences will not hinder her from getting Nikolai's attention. She has been crushing over him since they met in their chem lab class. From then on, she often approaches Nikolai in their ME lab, which happens to be just next to the chem lab, and tries to get the guy's attention.
Will she be able to prove that opposites do attract?
Let's say she will. After all, it has been said that despite the differences between two people, love could still bloom.
But the real question is...will it last?

MY HOUSEMATE IS MY PROFESSOR (COMPLETED)
Xyrianna Isabella Alkaraz stepped onto the campus of Shiniell University like a leaf carried by the wind. Young, eager, and swept toward the unknown. With a full scholarship in hand, she makes her way to the campus of Shiniell University, stepping into a world where dreams are waiting to unfold. Yet this new beginning comes with a bittersweet price-leaving behind the warmth and comfort of home. The path ahead was unpaved, lit by the glow of possibility, yet shadowed by the ache of letting go. Across the same campus, Professor Roxiette Avegayle Fontana moved like a storm held tightly behind glass-elegant, contained, and impossible to read. Her charm was the kind that lingered like perfume in a closed room, but she was no open book. To her, people were mirrors: she reflected only what they brought to her. If you remained a stranger, she made sure the distance stayed. As Xyrianna wandered through this new world with the wide eyes of someone stepping into a dream, and Professor Fontana stood steady like a lighthouse that refused to guide, their worlds began to drift closer. Unseen threads pulled gently between them, like two stars slowly drawn into the same orbit-quietly, curiously, inevitably. ✎ᝰ. Shiniell University Series 2: MHMIMP ✎ᝰ.

But did they have a choice? Nope. They had to play along. And then...chaos happened. Months of teasing, arguing, and driving each other absolutely insane slowly turned into something else.
