Wendy had just started her first year of college and was feeling a little overwhelmed with everything. She had moved to a new city, away from her family and friends, and was still trying to find her footing. She was shy and reserved, which made it difficult for her to make new friends.

One day, as she was walking to her dorm, she saw a girl sitting on a bench, reading a book. The girl had long, dark hair and was wearing a stylish outfit. Wendy couldn't help but stare, thinking how beautiful she looked. As she walked past, the girl looked up and their eyes met. Wendy quickly looked away, feeling embarrassed.

The next day, Wendy saw the same girl sitting on the same bench, reading the same book. This time, she decided to approach her. She walked up to the girl and introduced herself.

"Hi, I'm Wendy. I couldn't help but notice you reading that book yesterday. What is it about?"

The girl looked up and smiled. "Hi, I'm Irene. It's a romance novel. Do you like romance novels?"

Wendy blushed. "Yeah, I do."

They started talking about the book and other things. They discovered that they had a lot in common and enjoyed each other's company. They started meeting up on the bench to talk and read together.

As time went on, Wendy started to realize that she had feelings for Irene. She had never felt this way before and wasn't sure what to do. She didn't want to ruin their friendship, but she couldn't help the way she felt.
