Evan

🌸 “The Boy Who Sat by the Window” 🌸 Y/N always sat in the second row by the window. It was the perfect spot to watch the rain, the sunset, or simply daydream during class. One Monday morning, the teacher smiled. “Y/N, we have a new student. Please let Evan sit next to you.” A tall boy with messy black hair and a shy smile walked over. “Hi… I’m Evan.” Y/N smiled back. “I’m Y/N.” That was all it took. Days turned into weeks, and somehow Evan was always there. Walking her to class, sharing snacks, teasing her whenever she looked too focused on homework. “You’re frowning again,” he’d laugh. “I’m concentrating!” “Nope. You look like you’re planning world domination.” She’d roll her eyes, but she’d always end up laughing. ⸻ One afternoon it started pouring after school. “I forgot my umbrella…” Y/N sighed. Evan held his out. “Come on.” “It’s too small.” “So? We’ll survive.” The two walked home shoulder to shoulder, bumping into each other every few steps while trying not to get soaked. Halfway there, Y/N started laughing. “What?” “Your hair looks ridiculous.” He gasped dramatically. “And yours doesn’t?” She looked at her reflection in a shop window and burst into laughter again. People passing by smiled at the two teenagers laughing in the rain. ⸻ Weeks later, the school festival arrived. Y/N wandered through the glowing lights until she found Evan waiting near the garden. “I’ve been looking for you,” he said softly. “For me?” He nodded, rubbing the back of his neck. “I… actually like someone.” Y/N smiled politely, though her heart sank. “Oh… really?” “Yeah.” He took one step closer. “She’s kind, funny… and she laughs at my terrible jokes.” Y/N blinked. “…That sounds nice.” “It is.” He smiled. “Because it’s you.” For a moment, everything went silent. “…Me?” “You.” Y/N couldn’t stop smiling.
