physique athletic, his whole being radiating
masculine energy.
A sunny, handsome face, with a bright, white
smile.
Seeing me speechless, Olivia added,
“He’s the top athlete at his school!”
Olivia left after that, leaving me awkwardly
alone.

The atmosphere suddenly became strange.
After a moment…
Caleb pointed at my empty snack bag and
spoke.
He stuttered, but his words made my heart
race.
“Ch–Chloe, you look so cute when you eat.”
Chapter 1 It was the first time anyone had
complimented me like that.
I blushed and smiled shyly.

“Thanks, I think so too.”
I reached for another cookie, but my hand
met empty air. Embarrassed, I pulled it back.
I sipped my tea, fiddled with my bracelet, then
my bag.
Suddenly, a guy ran past me and snatched my
bag.
Before I could react, Caleb shot off like an
arrow.
His speed was astonishing, catching up to the
thief in seconds.

With a swift takedown move, he subdued the
guy amidst the gasps of onlookers.
He retrieved my bag and sprinted back.
“Your bag,” he said, slightly out of breath.
I stared at him, my cheeks burning.
He seemed…he seemed…sweeter than boba
tea.
Time seemed to stand still.
Onlookers stood at a distance, whispering
among themselves.

That’s when Ethan Harris appeared.
