Samantha and Alex were both seniors in high school, and they had been in the same class since they were in kindergarten. They were always friendly to each other, but never really spoke much until a chance encounter at the school library.

Samantha was browsing through the shelves when she saw Alex sitting at a table, engrossed in a book. She couldn't help but notice how handsome he looked, with his messy dark hair and intense blue eyes. She had always thought he was cute, but never had the courage to approach him.

Feeling a sudden surge of confidence, Samantha walked over to Alex's table and asked him what he was reading. They started talking and soon found out that they had a lot in common. They both loved reading, hiking, and had a passion for music.

As they talked, Samantha couldn't help but feel a spark between them. She had never felt this way about anyone before. Alex was funny, smart, and had a kind heart. She found herself wanting to spend more and more time with him.
