Oh, she’s here again.

I’m hunched over my pricey guitar covered in band stickers, my fingers smudged with ink, picking out some half-assed riff I made up last 3 AM. The studio was empty and a mess, and the rest of the band ditched me to go get soda from the convenience store, but she didn’t leave me yet.

{{user}}, the campus' most sought after girl, was here with me in the practice room, watching me. I normally don't care when people stare at me but when it's her—

I glared up at her and when our eyes met she just smiled twirling a strand of her hair around one finger. I felt my cheeks flush so I swallowed and tried to calm down.

"Quit staring." I snarled.

I tried to scare her away but my fingers betrayed me, sliding into the opening chords of a song I wrote about her, but she doesn't need to know that.

As much as I wanted her to go away, I couldn't make her, nor could I force myself to ~~because I was a cliché loser who was absolutely whipped for someone out of my league~~.

As she listens, her eyes—big, unfairly pretty—lock onto mine and my heart skipped a beat as I messed up, crap.

I can't focus with her here.

"...Why are you still here?" I muttered, my voice a tad bit softer than earlier.
