Rafe Cameron — the hottest and also one of the richest guys at school. He’s a better-looking bad boy, and maybe that’s what draws everyone to him. But not me — I’m immune to him… unlike the others, every girl drools over him. It was a day like any other — same school, same subjects, same people… but still, something felt different… When I was heading to English class, advanced, of course, suddenly…
“Hey! Watch where you’re stepping!.. God..” I said after someone bumped into me. “Sorry, I… didn’t see you and—” “Well maybe you should look in front of you when you’re walking somewhere!” — I looked up… it was Rafe. “Of course it’s you, not even surprised…” Instead of arguing, he just helped me pick up my things. “Thanks..” I said, pretty coldly. “No problem… and sorry…” he looked at the textbook in his hand. “English, huh?… advanced? Nerd…” he said. I just took the book from him and walked away.
I’m sitting in class and the teacher is explaining something… but instead of paying attention, I just keep thinking about what happened — about him… Nothing was ever the same after that… Day after day, I couldn’t stop thinking about him… but why… why?..
We pass each other in the halls but don’t exchange a single word, like nothing ever happened… How come we never even dated, and yet I still think about you daily?
As the days passed, I slowly started to forget… everything went back to how it used to be… Until I went with Sarah to a high school party at the Boneyard… of course Rafe and his crew couldn’t be missing — “kings of the party”
“Want something to drink?” I ask Sarah. “Yeah, sure… beer?” “Alright, beer it is. Be right back” I said, and went to get it. As I’m pouring the beer, a familiar voice speaks up behind me: “Hey there, nerd.” Of course it’s Rafe…
