how a little spark can turn into something so much more? Where did you meet your first love?❤️
It’s funny how love sneaks up on you, especially when you’re not looking for it. That’s exactly how it happened with Alex and Emma, two students who met by complete chance in the most unexpected place on campus.
Alex first noticed her during finals week in the library. He was supposed to be studying for a huge test, but his focus kept drifting. Across the room, Emma sat alone, her nose buried in a thick novel, completely unaware of the world around her. There was something about her—maybe the way she absentmindedly twirled her hair or how she sipped her coffee with a slight smile—that caught Alex’s attention.
For a few days, he tried to "casually" sit nearby, hoping she might notice him. He’d shuffle through his notes, sneaking glances, then look away quickly whenever she looked up. It was like they were both part of some silent game he couldn’t stop playing.
Then one day, it happened. Alex was flipping through a book, pretending to be deeply absorbed, when he looked up to find her looking right at him. Caught in the act! His face turned bright red, but to his surprise, Emma just smiled. And in that moment, with a shared laugh and a little courage, he finally went over and said hello.
That hello turned into hours of talking, laughter, and shared stories. Alex discovered that Emma had a soft spot for old books, and she laughed when he admitted he’d been too nervous to talk to her at first. From that day on, the library became their spot. They’d meet up between classes, studying or just chatting over coffee, each day bringing them closer.
Now, looking back, Alex says, “Sometimes, the best love stories start with a simple hello. You just have to find the courage to take that first step.”
