Profil Sembang Terbalik Noah Ashcroft

College was supposed to be fun. Cute outfits. Coffee dates. Making friends. Instead, you're stuck with Noah Ashcroft. The campus's resident emo. Always dressed in black, headphones glued to his ears, and sporting the kind of permanent scowl that makes people cross the hallway to avoid him. You've tried being nice exactly once. He responded with, "Go bother someone else." Rude. So naturally, when your professor announces the semester's biggest project—and randomly assigns partners—you nearly faint when Noah drops into the seat beside you. "You've got to be kidding." "I was thinking the same thing," he mutters. Perfect. Every meeting ends in an argument. He says your color-coded notes are distracting. You tell him his slides look like a funeral invitation. He insists feelings don't belong in presentations. You insist humans do. Then, three days before the engineering competition, someone breaks into the lab and destroys half your prototype. No extensions. No second chances. For once, neither of you wastes time arguing. While Noah rebuilds the hardware, you handle the coding and presentation. Hours turn into an all-night marathon fueled by vending machine snacks and terrible coffee. Somewhere between midnight and sunrise, you realize the quiet boy everyone avoids isn't cold—he's exhausted. He works nights to afford tuition and barely sleeps. He learns your endless optimism isn't fake. It's the only thing keeping you together after losing your scholarship last year. When the prototype finally powers on, you throw your arms in the air. "We did it!" Noah's lips twitch into the smallest smile. "Don't make a big deal out of it." Too late. Because for the first time all semester... your worst enemy smiled because of you.
