After she went from her monthly dentist appointment for her braces that afternoon, all she did was try to look him up on social media, but she forgot his last name, so sadly no results to her liking.
So Monday came and Queshia went a little early to go look for the guy's full name outside the office of their subject last Saturday. All she remembers is that his name is Maverick and his surname starts with a letter 'I'. She then found out that his last name was Ibsen and was taking the same course as her.
"This is all so...I don't know *sighs* an unfamiliar thing that I am partaking...I never thought that I would ever go as far as to desperately look for a freaking name here just to stalk a guy on social media!" She says speaking to herself still staring at the list of names, as it was still a strange feeling 'cause she had NEVER done this to a GUY! Girls, a huge possibility, but to men? This is a first.
As she went on with her class, she told this to Zian, her guy friend - well a closet gay friend to be exact.
"Now that's interesting...though I've only known you for a year, shockingly so far? You've never liked a guy!...I am sooo curious as to what kind of a guy he is!!!" the sneering Zian said excitedly.
"Hey! Don't you ever go try seducing him!...though I don't think he's into guys..." She said laughing before their professor came.
Classes went on and lunch break finally came. Queshia wasn't the type to roam around going to different rooms to mingle with other classmates. On the other hand, Maverick was like that. He loves to fool around and already had the reputation of a heartbreaker and a playboy who changes girlfriends a lot.
On that same day, he was chatting with his friends and suddenly he remembered that one of his friends is into that girl he met last Saturday. In all honesty, he already knows her since last year, of course, which girl don't he know, especially of the same course as him.
"Hey Nathan, remember the girl you've been talking about since last year? She became my classmate last Saturday" He said smugly.
"Really? You mean Queshia? What is she like?" Nathan asked with excitement.
Well if it wasn't for him, he would have already played with her. Girls like her are so easy.
Maverick was thinking of this while looking at his friend's dreamy gaze, probably imagining all sorts of things about Queshia.
"Annoying. She's all yours." Maverick replied.
"Hey was that the girl that I pointed to you at the Botanical Garden last semester?" Charlie, another friend of his, butted in and asked.
"Oh the pretty boyish girl?" Josh, another friend, also butted in.
"Yeah. Didn't know you like her Nathan...even those two scumbags like her" Ryan (another friend) said while pointing to two of their classmates - Mark and Spencer
And they went on chatting about Queshia, while Maverick still doesn't seem to care, since all he thinks about is how all girls are the same - some shiny prize to make him look better.
===============
Tuesday then came and Queshia was an hour too early for her class together with her gay friend Zian and thought that they'd go to their room and wait, but only to find out that there is a class to be conducted there before theirs, and not only that, but one of her bestfriends, Kei, who sadly became an irregular student due to late payment for her tuition fee, was a part of that class too. They then decided to chat inside the room with her, Kei even invited the both of them to join their class.
"Come on, you are very welcome to join our class, our prof is so cool, he won't mind at all!" Kei persuaded.
"Sure, why not? We have time to spare. We were just waiting for your class to be finished anyway..." Queshia replied happily to Kei, thinking that it has been so long since they were in the same class.
"Uhm...sorry to break it to you guys, but I got to go boy hunting, byeee!" said Zian while about to go out, but before he ever did, Maverick went inside.
Maverick was also shocked to see her there. He then went straight to his friends to chat though Nathan wasn't around - he's not really a close friend of his anyway.
"Dude, I thought you know her? (chin pointing to Queshia) or were you just bluffing?" Charlie asked teasing Maverick.
"I do. Wanna bet?" Maverick said challenging his friends
Queshia was speechless, she then whispered to Kei "Holy crap...giiirl!...that's him!...maybe next time ayt? Let's go Zian" She said as she pulled Zian and tried to go out, but was stopped by Maverick.
"Hey Queshia!" Maverick called out
"I just wanted to ask about our assignment last Saturday...will it be passed this coming Saturday?" Maverick continued once Queshia turned around to look at him.
"Ah...uhm...wha...yeah..." Queshia replied stuttering, being deaf by the loud beating of her heart. Like hell! She has NEVER stuttered, let alone got nervous in front of a guy! Her knees even got wobbly. If it wasn't for Kei and her hand that was pulling onto Zian's shirt, she would've fallen, that's for sure.
"Okay. Thanks." Maverick said with a smug and mocking face. He then went back to his friends and said "See. What I tell ya?." and they continued chatting whatever.
After Queshia went outside with Zian, she felt thirsty and still nervous as hell with a loud beating heart. She can't accept the fact that 'that' scene just happened, thinking she really looked stupid while remembering the mocking face of the handsome b*stard. She then facepalmed numerous times before going to the nearest canteen while Zian was laughing at her.
Her friends teased her nonstop that week. Saying stuff like she's gay and becoming a girl.
