"Obsession"
Obsession is fourteen pink-bound volumes neatly lined on a bookshelf, with a fifteenth half-finished and tucked away in her backpack.
Obsession is studying deep into the night, so that the answer is always readily available, lingering on the tip of her tongue.
Obsession is the way it feels to breathe through his mouth and inhale her scent, knowing the taste of it rather than the smell.
Obsession is the way her voice sounds to him, musical and sweet even at its most strident, when the words 'four-eyed freak' become a strange sort of endearment to him.
Obsession is believing that somehow, some way, someday she will come to like him like him, when all of his friends try to tell him otherwise.
Obsession is... everywhere.
