Annoyed At First Sight

02: He Is So Cute!

"So I heard that there's a new boy," Michelle, my close friend, said.

I couldn't exactly call her a best friend yet because we've only been friends for a year.

"Yeah," I sighed out.

"How does he look like?" she asked. "The girls won't shut up about him in the hallways."

"He has two eyes, one nose, one mouth," I deadpanned.

She rolled her brown eyes at me. "Seriously, Anna."

"That's the truth," I joked.

"I wanted to ask you a question this morning," Nate suddenly appeared and took a bite of his sandwich. "Why was your shirt quite wet when you entered class?"

"Is it really that noticeable?" I slowly groaned.

"Well, kind of," he shrugged.

"Guess why," I said, but when he opened his mouth I directly answered. "The new guy, what was his name again?"

"Luke," Michelle replied and I raised my eyebrow. "What? I told you the girls wouldn't shut up about him."

"Right," I said rather sarcastically. "Luke spilled water onto my shirt."

"Oh," Nate replied nonchalantly and continued eating his sandwich.

"That's so sweet!" exclaimed Michelle. "Usually it happens in teen fictions that a boy accidentally bumps onto a girl, and they directly fall in love at first sight."

After she said that, Nate shot her a disgusted look.

"Ew, Chelle," I said, slightly pushing her off her chair. "That is in teen fictions. This is the real world that we're talking about. How is it 'so sweet?' Plus, he is really annoying and cocky. He never stops smirking."

"Whatever," she replied before winking. "We'll just see later."

"Anyways, how was your trip to Mexico?" I asked her, trying to change the topic.

During the winter break, Michelle and her mom went to her mom's hometown, in Mexico, while Nate and I stayed in town.

"It was alright," she replied. "It was quite boring without you actually. My cousins were all rather ignorant."

"Hey, how about me?" Nate put on a fake pout.

"You look horrible," Michelle instead replied. "Oh right, missed you too."

Nate flipped his ring finger at Michelle, and she just casually laughed and rolled her eyes.

I continued eating my sandwich and suddenly Michelle whispered, "Which one is the Luke guy?"

I turned around to see him with other several students sitting on the other side of the cafeteria.

Our school doesn't really have groups like other stereotypical schools, even though there are actually mean girls here, but they're not too stereotypically extreme. So well this school is just a normal school. "That one with the brown hair."

"Oh my gosh! He is so cute!" Michelle exclaimed rather loudly, which had gained attention from people, and also from Luke himself. "I mean, look at him, Anna! Isn't this dog so cute?"

"No, it's not," I said, wrinkling my nose, pretending to look at her phone. I turned back to see Luke smirking at our direction. Whatever. "How can you think he's cute? He is very unattractive."
