Julian's POV
None of the words of the lecture got into my ears or head. I sat in the back row, my eyes blankly fixed on the board, refusing to process a single word in forty minutes. My ears were tuned to a different frequency, all I could hear were the low, persistent hum of whispers coming from the rows ahead of me. They weren't even trying to be discreet.
"Did you see the way he looked at her?" one girl whispered to her friend, her voice carrying easily in the room. "He's easily the hottest guy to ever step foot on this campus. Gosh, I still can't believe someone was able to make me crush on them so hard. It's so sad that he's dating that junior girl, Catherine or whatever."
The other replied. "True. It's so annoying. Someone posted a video of their kiss in the courtyard... it was like something out of a movie. That girl is so darn lucky."
