My heart flutters every time I see that smile. I don't understand why, but I can't help but find it cute. His smile makes my heart skip a beat, and I wonder why I'm feeling this way at such an unexpected moment. As I look around at my friends, they seem completely unaware of the emotions stirring inside me.

It's like a feeling I once had but lost after years of one-sided love. Time seems to speed up whenever I see him, leaving me no time to gather my thoughts. Each glimpse of him makes my heart race, but I try to brush it off, telling myself it's just a phase, a fleeting crush.

Yet, the more I try to ignore it, the stronger it grows. His laughter, the way his eyes light up-it's all stuck in my mind like a song on repeat.

Is this how I fall in love now? After 20 years of being all alone by myself?

Falling For Chemistry  by verenawrites01
20 parts Ongoing
JULIET Starting junior year at Rosewood High, I expected to lose myself in textbooks, science experiments, and the comforting quiet of the library. What I didn't expect was to be paired with Alex Rhodes-the school's star quarterback and every girl's dream-in chemistry class. Alex is charming, confident, and completely out of my league. When he offers to study together, I'm wary. How could someone like him be interested in someone like me? But as we dive into chemical reactions, I discover there's more to Alex than his athletic prowess and easy smile. Beneath the surface, he's smart, curious, and utterly captivating. I should keep my distance, but every time his hand brushes against mine or he leans in close to explain a concept, I feel a thrill that I can't ignore. He's a magnetic force, and I'm helpless against the attraction brewing between us. ALEX Junior year means football, friends, and maintaining my reputation as Rosewood High's golden boy. What it doesn't mean is falling for a girl like Juliet Mayfield-quiet, brilliant, and completely different from anyone I've ever known. Assigned as her lab partner, I'm instantly intrigued. Juliet is everything I didn't know I wanted: passionate, insightful, and with a hidden fire that draws me in. Our chemistry goes beyond the classroom, sparking a connection I can't fucking ignore. Her shyness is endearing, her intelligence enthralling. The more time I spend with her, the more I crave her presence, her touch, her everything. But being with Juliet means challenging expectations, breaking the mold I've been cast in. And damn, I want her. I want her in ways that make my heart pound and my body ache. I want her laughter, her moans, her whispers of my name. I want all of her, and I don't give a damn about the consequences.

"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.
