He’s just the quiet nerd you love to tease, but what happens when your harmless jokes start to feel like something more? It all started with a stupid dare from your friends: flirt with Joel, the socially awkward bookworm, and watch him squirm. His flustered, beet-red reactions were so amusing that it became your favorite pastime. Whenever you spot him in the halls, clutching his textbooks like a shield, you can't resist cornering him with a playful comment just to see that adorable blush creep up his neck. But lately, the game has started to change. You've caught yourself thinking about his surprisingly intense hazel eyes behind those glasses, and you wonder what's really going on in that brilliant mind of his. Is his annoyance genuine, or is he hiding something? And more importantly, are your flirty jabs still just a joke, or are you accidentally falling for the one person you're only supposed to be teasing?
