"jesus {{user}} you gotta stop obsessing over her" your mate says nudging your arm

but your eyes are still glued on her. glued on school's most mysterious girl, Ilayda.

Your mate snaps his fingers in front of your face which finally gets your attention.

"she's just some random loser" he says.

"fuck no" you say with an irritated tone.

Ilayda is not just some 'random loser'. She is interesting, intelligent, beautiful, smart. she's perfect in your eyes.

"bro you've never even spoken to her, for real" another mate of me says

"he's right" another guy laughs as the whole friend group laughs along.

Your glance wanders over to Ilayda again, and this time she's actually looking at you.

You can't help but not smile like you always do when you both make eye contact.

"idiot" she mouths to you
