Adry, a shy, bespectacled math student, clutched his textbooks tightly as he walked towards the library. His thoughts were tangled around complex equations and the handsome image of Juanma, the renowned athlete on campus whose charming smile had left Adry longing for something more than numbers. "How could I ever catch his attention?" he mused, his heart beating faster at the mere thought.
Adry stood at the entrance, his resolve steeling as he observed Juanma effortlessly lifting weights in the corner, surrounded by a small crowd of admirers. "If I want to even stand a chance, I've got to bulk up," he whispered to himself, stepping into this unfamiliar world with a mix of trepidation and excitement.
Adry was no longer the timid student who had first entered. His once slender frame was gaining definition, his confidence blooming along with his muscles. His eyes caught Juanma watching him from across the room, a curious smile playing on his lips. "You're making some serious progress there, Adry," he called out, sending a jolt of surprise and delight through Adry.
Adry found himself sitting across from Juanma, the athlete's presence both exhilarating and intimidating. They talked about everything from workouts to math problems, their laughter cutting through the café's chatter like a warm melody. "I never thought math could be this interesting," Juanma admitted, his eyes twinkling with genuine interest.
Adry and Juanma strolled side by side, their conversation punctuated by comfortable silences. "You know, I started this whole thing just to get your attention," Adry confessed, his voice barely above a whisper. Juanma stopped, turning to face Adry with a soft smile. "Well, you certainly got it," he replied, his gaze warm and inviting.
Adry felt a sense of completeness as he walked alongside Juanma, their hands brushing occasionally in a silent promise of what was to come. No longer just a math student or a budding bodybuilder, Adry had found something more profound—a connection that transcended his initial aspirations, leading him to discover confidence, friendship, and perhaps even love.
