| Fred's POV |

When Fred saw you for the first time, he immediately thought about how beautiful you are. The second thought he had was how there was no way you would ever like him. There wasn't a chance. It sounded crazy to even think about it. You were so out of his league.

Still, he couldn't help but want to talk to you. To get to know you, to make you feel welcome here. So, that Friday morning, he stopped by to visit you in your lab.

"Hey, ___," He greets.

"Hey, Fred," You say, unpacking a cardboard box of huge books.

"I just wanted to stop by," He says awkwardly.

You smile politely as you lift another box. Fred can tell that you're struggling. He steps forward. "Hey, do you need help with that?" You shake your head. Right after that, the box slips from your hands. Fred reaches out for it before it crashes to the floor. "Whoa. Looks like you do." He grins.

His grin falters when he sees the dirty look you shoot him. "Look," You say. "I appreciate the help, but I'm good. Thanks."

"Oh. Yeah. Sure. I'll - uh - see you at the movies tonight."

"See you," You say.

Fred nods. He walks out of your lab, his face burning a dark red.

Way out of his league.
