It started as an admiration during his freshman year... well, everyone's crush on Adrian started as an admiration, but his evolved into something deeper.
On his first day as a first-year student in Westhill, he had already begun to hear of this second-year guy, this truly. breathtaking dude. Someone brilliant who had pulled an A in every course, including those the lecturers had made problematic for everyone else. Then he heard this guy was the heir to the top family in the country, and he only hung out with friends from other top families.
But those rumours just sat there in his head as a wonder on how one could be all that... perfect. He was intrigued yet did nothing about it.
Then came their orientation day, Adrian was the speaker, and that was where his heart shifted. There were hundreds of others beside him on the podium, but his eyes were fixed solely on Adrian throughout the entire sermon.
