The Boy Who Makes You Look Twice

There are people you notice… and then there are people who make you look twice without even trying. 

He is the second kind.

The kind who walks into a room and instantly shifts the air—not loudly, not dramatically, but with a quiet pull that tugs at something deep inside you.

Maybe it’s the way he carries himself, relaxed but confident, like he knows his presence does things to people. Maybe it’s the way his eyes linger a little too long, like he’s searching for something he’s not ready to admit. Or maybe it’s that subtle curve of a smile, the one that feels innocent until it suddenly doesn’t.

You tell yourself it’s nothing.

Just a glance.

Just a moment.

But the moment stretches. And the glance turns into a spark.

And suddenly, you’re wondering why he affects you the way he does.

He isn’t loud.

He isn’t the type who fights for attention.

Yet somehow, he becomes the only thing you can focus on.

There’s a softness in him that feels harmless—and a hidden heat that feels anything but. When he stands near you, there’s an energy you can’t quite name: warm, magnetic, a little dangerous in the sweetest way. It’s the kind of presence that makes your heart feel like it’s paying too much attention.

You catch yourself memorising little things about him.

The way he brushes the hair from his forehead.

The way his eyes brighten when he talks about something he loves.

The way his laughter feels like sunlight hitting bare skin.

And then there’s that moment—the one you don’t talk about.

The one where his hand almost touches yours.

Not touching… but almost.

Close enough to make your breath shift.

Close enough to make you wonder what he’s trying to say without words.

That’s when you realise why you keep looking twice.

Not because he’s beautiful—though he is.

Not because he’s charming—though you’ve noticed that too.

But because he makes you feel something you didn’t expect. Something warm. Something curious. Something dangerously close to desire.

He’s the boy who makes you rethink everything.

The boy whose presence curls inside your thoughts when you’re alone.

The boy who doesn’t need to try, because the way he just is… is already too much.

And maybe—just maybe—he looks twice at you too.
