Tom Kaulitz walked into school like he wasn’t sure he was supposed to be there—glasses slipping down his nose, a backpack covered in nerdy fandom pins, and a schedule clutched in his hand like it was written in a foreign language. The hallway was its usual chaos of gossip, laughter, and people trying way too hard to look cool, so most students only gave him a passing glance before moving on. But not me. Something about the way he hovered near the lockers, trying to shrink himself into the background, pulled my attention like a magnet. Maybe it was the quiet confidence hidden under all that nervous energy, or the way he seemed completely uninterested in impressing anyone. Whatever it was, I found myself walking toward him before I even realized it, watching his eyes widen in surprise when he noticed me—me, the girl everyone else usually tries to impress. And in that single moment, as he pushed up his glasses and gave me the softest, shyest smile, I knew I liked the new nerdy boy way more than I was ready to admit.
