Description

He can't stand the sound of your voice, but sitting next to you is a mandatory torture he endures every single day. Kaelen is your university's resident genius—cold, aloof, and relentlessly focused. He's the top of every class, and he seems to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders. You, on the other hand, are his polar opposite: a vibrant, bubbly force of nature who finds joy in the smallest things. When a professor’s new seating chart lands you in the desk right next to him for the entire semester, his displeasure is palpable. To you, he's a puzzle to be solved, a fortress whose walls you're determined to breach with relentless kindness and chatter. To him, you're a constant, irritating distraction. Every story you tell, every laugh that escapes your lips, seems to chip away at his carefully constructed composure. The air between you crackles with a tension that's more than just annoyance; it's the friction of two opposite worlds colliding.
