WARNING: SPOILER ALERT if you haven't read The Chemistry Project before Chemicals React don't read this little short piece.
She's in love with him: this shy, perfect boy.
And he's in love, too. You can tell with how his eyes light up when he sees the girl lucky enough to have caught his attention. You can tell with how widely he smiles. You can tell with how he just can't stay away.
And he's been coming to their room for days and days, and her heart leaps at the sight of him whenever she opens their door. He is bright, luminous, and real. And when he smiles she can't help but feel. And she knows that she will never be able to recreate this feeling ever again (even though she's trying and some people come close).
And she's in love with him: this shy, perfect boy. Too bad he's in love with her roommate.
He says her name and she looks at him in surprise.
"Where did you go?" he asked, tilting his head charmingly. "I said your name like three times, Ashley."
He grins at her and she feels herself break just a little.

A/N: OH SNAPS! You thought it was in Jane's POV, didn't you? Truthfully, I did, too, until I typed out the ending and blew my own mind.
