Just like yesterday, I laughed remembering how I was a popular girl which no one could pass without glancing at and I was also a troublesome girl(that was part of my hobby).

He said to me. “Oh.” I said softly . He said that I didn’t like him? Was that true? Was it so obvious that even he noticed it? Did i come off as uninterested to him? “Dave, I -“ “Excuse me.” Someone interrupted by standing beside me. I turned to see a sandy blonde haired lanky boy whom I recognized as Henry, Brad’s friend. He had one of his hands in his pocket and the other was holding a paper cup. He was smirking at Dave and not even looking at me.
