Chapter 3: My Boyfriend

As the days turned into weeks, I couldn't shake the thought that my secret admirer might not be Alex but someone entirely unexpected - Ross. Ross was a sweet, shy boy in my class, known for his brilliance in computer science. He was what most people referred to as a "nerd," but I admired his passion for knowledge and the twinkle in his eyes when he talked about his favorite subjects.

One afternoon, as I pondered the mysterious notes and the possibility that Ross might be my secret admirer, I found myself sitting next to him in the library. It was a quiet corner where I often retreated to study, and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to strike up a conversation.

"Hey, Ross," I began, my voice soft and friendly. "I've noticed you're really good with computers. Do you enjoy coding and programming?"

His eyes lit up with surprise, as if no one had ever taken an interest in his passions before. "Yeah, I love it. I spend a lot of my free time working on personal projects and exploring new programming languages."

I was genuinely fascinated by his dedication to his craft. "That's amazing. I've always been curious about coding, but I never had the chance to learn. Would you be willing to teach me sometime?"

Ross's face broke into a shy smile, and he stammered, "I'd... I'd love to. I mean, I'd be happy to help you learn."

Over the next few weeks, Ross and I spent more time together, working on coding projects and talking about our shared interests. It became increasingly apparent that he had a crush on me, which led to a heartfelt conversation where we both confessed our feelings for each other.

We officially became a couple, and as we held hands, walking through the school courtyard, I couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment. Ross was kind, caring, and incredibly intelligent. Our love story had started in the most unexpected way, and I was excited to see where it would lead.
