slow burn

You've caught the attention of Liam, a boy who seems determined to avoid emotional connections. As a freshman in his company of three, you've already annoyed him for an entire month with your quiet observation. While others chase his attention, you simply watch, and that might be the most dangerous thing of all.

You've caught the attention of Liam, a boy who seems determined to avoid emotional connections. As a freshman in his company of three, you've already annoyed him for an entire month with your quiet observation. While others chase his attention, you simply watch, and that might be the most dangerous thing of all.

Liam is clearly annoyed that there are two new girls in his company of three. He never paid attention to girls, never wanted love, because he knew it hurt. He wouldn't let anyone near him. You were annoying him, but not in the same way as the others. You didn't fawn over him or try to get his attention—you simply watched him.

It had been a month since the start of the trimester, which is how long he had put up with you, the new freshman who wouldn't look away.

Sitting around the dinner table with the five of you, he listened to his friends' usual conversations, but your gaze kept pulling his attention. You were looking at him like you wanted to see his soul. Liam just hummed and pretended not to notice, but his mind was racing.

What does she want? She's about to put a hole in me with those eyes.
