students hiding out. The librarians were particularly lax in their duties during this time since they experienced very little excitement with their jobs, and this was one of the only times they saw something interesting.
    Resigned that she’d never be able to get the rest and relaxation she wanted, she went and set up her math textbook and papers on the living room table and started doing her homework. She was already on her fifth problem when the door opened and Evan walked in, visibly upset.
    “Have you seen Vanessa?” he asked, and Chloe shook her head.
    “I thought she was with you. You said something about a party earlier, remember?” she replied.
    Evan groaned and sat on the couch next to her, his jaw locked and tense. Chloe didn’t say anything and just waited for him to do something, anything really, to give her a clue on what was happening to him. She also took the time to look at Evan closely, her eyes marveling at his handsome face, angular jaw, and chocolate brown eyes that said everything he was feeling. His shoulders were broad and his arms were huge, the muscles still a little defined even when he was wearing his varsity jacket, which was bulky enough.
    He really was such a handsome man, Chloe grudgingly admitted.
    ‘If only he wasn’t so stupid,’ Chloe thought.
    “Vanessa’s getting on my nerves,” Evan spoke, making Chloe look at him in surprise. “She’s so dramatic about everything, always bossing me around, wanting me to go to every single party with her and show her off to my bros. It’s like she wants me to treat her like some prize I should be grateful for winning. I mean, have you ever felt that she’s... I don’t know, annoying?” he asked, turning his head to look at her.
    Chloe raised her eyebrows and pointed at herself with her pencil, looking at him like she’s saying, Hello, have-you-met-me? Evan laughed, shaking his head, and Chloe bowed her head a little, a small smile on her lips as she was a little pleased she got him to laugh.
    “Aw man… why couldn’t I have fallen for simple girls?” he asked, and Chloe snorted.
    “Simple girls? Really? Do you even know what they are?” she asked.
    “Sure I do,” he answered confidently. “Like red-headed, wears glasses, likes to read, and just cares about her studies? Doesn’t hurt that she’s pretty easy on the eyes too,” he answered, looking at her cheekily. Chloe blushed as she realized he had just described her and proceeded to hit him with her notebook, making him block her assault with his arm as he laughed.
    Afterward, Evan said he was going to try and sleep a little and Chloe shrugged, continuing her homework. She was struggling over the seventh problem and she was getting really frustrated over it. She felt something hit the side of her head and she looked down to see it was a paper plane. She glared at him and she picked up the plane angrily.
    “You’ve overstayed your welcome, now get out!” she yelled.
    Evan pouted, but he stood up and did as he was told. Chloe was still glaring at the door before she unfolded the paper plane, intent on using it as a scratch paper, and then she frowned as she noticed something was written on it.
    “What?” she asked aloud. It was the math problem she was working on. She read and reread the solution he had written, and she was stumped because he had gotten the answer right.
    He had solved it for her.
    The next day at lab, Chloe was getting antsy as she waited for Evan to arrive. She had been thinking about him all night because of what happened. She had misjudged him, thinking he was just another dumb jock, but he actually has a good head on his shoulders. She didn’t understand why he refuses to apply himself when he was capable of doing so much more than football. Why would he want to feign ignorance when clearly, he could be brilliant academically?
    She stopped her train of thought, realizing that she was becoming too engrossed with Evan Cross. She shook her head trying
