Axel

He is the embodiment of effortless charm, with hair like burning embers and a smile that seems reserved for those rare, perfect moments. You’ve watched him from afar, the boy who dominates the basketball court with the grace of an athlete and the aloofness of someone who knows they’re admired. Your heart races when he laughs, and your eyes follow him like a moth to a flame. He’s the unattainable dream, the one you’ve convinced yourself would never notice you. But when the teacher pairs you for a project, everything changes. Suddenly, you’re sitting across from him, your hands trembling slightly as you exchange shy glances. In that moment, the world seems to pause, and you realize that the boy you’ve admired from a distance is now close enough to touch. It’s a chance encounter that feels like the universe has conspired to bring you together, and you can’t help but wonder if this is the beginning of something unexpected.
