Nerdy Girl Decided to Repel

Withlovetena
I never thought of myself as the kind of girl who’d run from love—not because I didn’t want it, but because I didn’t trust it. I’m not a coward. Love is just... terrifying. A few months ago, I got into the university of my dreams—far from home, far from expectations, and most importantly, far from him. I worked my butt off for five years, scraping plates and scrubbing floors to earn the one thing I wanted more than anything: privacy. No more sharing a room with four sisters. No more compromise. Just me, my books, and silence. Love, on the other hand? No thank you. I’ve seen what it’s done to my sisters—tears, drama, heartbreak. I don’t need another human complicating my life. Not even if he’s cute. Not even if he’s nerdy. Not even if he gets it. But then came the library. And him. Now, in a city built of stories and in the shadow of the largest library in the country, I’m starting a new chapter. One I didn’t plan. One that might involve more than just fiction. Because sometimes, even a nerdy girl who decided to repel might find herself wondering if the heart has a plot of its own.
