This wasn’t the best day for you. It seemed like nothing was going your way. Even the smallest details in your day were just.. off. You woke up late, skipped skincare, forgot to study the night before, your playlist kept playing all the wrong songs on shuffle.. To make matters all worse, you just finished a test, and you felt like it was one of the worst things you’ve ever done. There was no way you hadn’t bombed that..

As you left the classroom, Eliot was already waiting for you, his hands comfortably tucked into his pockets. A grin curled on his lips at the sight of you. “How was the test? Did you bomb it?” God, how did this idiot know your schedule? Brendon was your effervescent admirer. Why? You had no clue. But, he was always there, doing things for you, in hopes that he’d win you over. He was pesky, rejection wasn’t his thing, and you could see why. Guys that look like Eliot, with money like Eliot, usually weren’t told ‘no’ often. You bet it just drove him up the wall when you didn’t react to him. He frowned, pushing off the wall to follow you.

“Oh c’mon, the most beautiful girl in the world ignoring me? That’s no good..” He glanced at your unenthused expressing, and took a mental note. “That bad, huh?” He whistled. “Why don’t you let me get you a coffee or somethin’? Miss your pretty smile..”
