"Ahem!" clearing her throat, "So," fixing her fake glasses, June questioned, "What is your type?"
"Before that, tell me where you get those glasses from?" Sasha asked a genuine question.
"Don't mind the glasses." Dodging the question, June started, "So miss 'Ice Queen'. What type of 'cherries' do you prefer?" Like a professional salesperson, she began showcasing her line of products.
"Do you prefer the nerd over there?" She questioned while pointing to the corner where a young man was studying like an obedient student. He was wearing oversized clothes, a typical nerd glasses and had over grown and unorganised hairs.
"The selling points of this product is that he is topper of his class." Like a typical nerd, she added,
"…"
"Continuing, he is an anime sucker, unnecessarily knowledgeable, since he is a fresher so he is easy to order around and—" closing in to Sasha's ears, June whispered, "He also poses the top secret file— 'The X'."
"What is this 'The X'?" Sasha asked, clueless.
"Shhh!!" June motioned Sasha to be silent as she stuck her index finger on her soft pink lips.
"You can't say that openly in public like this!" She said in a whispering tone as she looked around here and there.
Confused, Sasha also looked around her.
"Is she okay?"
"How can she say that unfazed?"
"Did she really said that..?"
"Isn't she the second year's famous 'Ice-Queen'?"
"Why would she say that?"
Everyone around them whispered to each other and looked at the two uncannily.
Specially the nerd kid. He was giving a very grotesques look.
"What's wrong with all of the—?!" before she could finish her words, June dragged her away from the crowd.
Huff! Huff! Huff!
After distancing themselves from the crowd, June asked very genuinely, "You really know how to stirrup trouble."
"I should be the one saying you this!! Are you right in your head?! First your nonsensical act and then that stupid secret of that strange nerd who I haven't ever met in my life!! What's wrong with you?! I just asked for your advice to solve my problem and here you are! Enjoying my misery!!" Sasha yelled with anger, finally getting fed-up with all this.
"…"Hearing all this, June lowered her head as she clenched her teeth and fist tightly, her smooth black hairs flowing down like a waterfall, hiding her face like a dark veil.
After calming down, looking at June, who was trembling for some reason, Sasha realized that she just said something very mean to her in her sudden rage, without realizing.
"J-june? Ahh-, I-I am really sorry. I didn't meant to... It's just, I am so stressed out, I don't know what I am doing." Seriously. What's wrong with me, bursting all my anger on someone else. She mumbled to herself.
Heuk—
A muffled noise sounded from June's direction. Sasha turned her head in June's direction and saw her trembling even more intensely.
"J-june? You alright?" She asked as she looked at her with sincere concern in her eyes.
She slowly approached June and grabbed her shoulders as she forced her to look in her eyes.
Lifting her face, Sasha saw June who was tearing up and has puffed her cheeks up.
"Pfft— Hahahahah~" June laughed loudly, while grabbing her stomach tightly, unable to control her laughter anymore.
"June..?"
"Hahahah- ah, I can't control anymore, hahaha~" after laughing whole heartedly, she grabbed her knees and sighed, "ahh, really. You are just so cute and funny whenever you start throwing your tantrums like a kid, it's always hard for me to control my laughter." She said as she wiped tear drops from the corner of her eyes.
Crack—
"Tantrum?" Veins popped up on Sasha's head.
She pinched June's waist, "Ow—" June screamed in pain.
"Throwing tantrums like a kid huh?"
"Ow, ow, ow- ok-ok sorry— I Am Sorry!" June asked for forgiveness.
Sasha let go of June's waist and looked at her. She knew that June was hiding her real emotions and was trying to act funny just for her sake, 'really, this dumbo', she thought as a little sweet smile emerged on her face.
"So? What is this 'X' you were talking about?" Sasha asked, unable to suppress her curiosity after seeing the reaction of June and the others.
"Do you really wanna know?" June asked in a teasing tone.
"If you don't want to tell me then just say so." Sasha puffed her cheeks like a puffer fish.
'So Damn Cute!!' June thought.
Looking at her childish reaction, June gave in, "Okay I'll tell you. But remember that you are the one who asked for this."
Closing in to Sasha ears, June whispered,
"The X is—"
Listening to her words, Sasha's ears and cheeks turned bright red.
"W-w-what are y-you talking about." She stuttered, "A-aren't you a-ashamed to talk about t-t-t-this kind o-of s-stuff in public?!"
Looking at her shy and cute reaction, June teased her even more, "What kind~ of stuff?"
"T-t-the one you just t-talked about…"
"Hmmm~, what was I talking about again? I don't remember?"
"Y-you! You are teasing me on purpose, right!"
"I don't know what you are talking about," she whistled.
Sasha once again pinched June's waist, "Ow- ow- ow-"
"You little rascal. You are asking for it."
"Ouch— ok- ok my bad my bad let me go- I won't tease you again!"
"Better for you." She stopped.
Are you a witch or something? June mumbled as she rubbed her waist.
Ignoring her little mumbles, Sasha asked, "So? What are we gonna do now?"
"Ahem!" clearing her throat once again, June pulled up her professional salesperson persona again.
"I apologize for the disturbance, miss."
Sigh~ "Are we still doing this?" Sasha asked in a tired tone.
"Moving forward, as I have speculated, you are not interested in nerds. So—" pointing towards the wide and open sports field, she questioned, "what about athletic type?"
Looking in the direction where June pointed, Sasha saw boys drenched in sweat, huffing for air, running behind a ball with black and white patches. Many girls stood behind the fence and cheered for the boys crazily.
A good-looking boy with attractive athletic physique, ran ahead of all the boys. He played various tricks with the ball and played like a pro before scoring the last goal and making his team win the match.
Girls shouted like maniacs before rushing towards him like typhoon.
"The selling points of this product are, he is very popular in campus and also on social media. He is the captain and the best striker of his football team. He enjoys going to night club and is very outgoing, has a very lean and toned physique and—"
"And?"
"He got insane stamina." June said in a seductive voice.
Puff—
Hot steam gushed out of Sasha's head as her face turned red once again.
"Y-you! Stop teasing me!"
"It's the truth." June said nonchalantly, "not like I have experienced but those who have, reviewed him positively."
Sasha looked towards the guy who was surrounded with girls, coldly. Coincidentally, he also looked towards Sasha and June's direction. Their eyes met and he winked towards Sasha with a smile.
"So, in short he is a womanizer." Sasha said nonchalantly in an icy cold tone.
Noticing the decreasing temperature, June said, "M-moving on,"
She brought Sasha inside the college, towards a the Gymnasium area.
"What about hunks?"
Sasha glanced inside the gym from the mirror walls and saw many macho mans and macho girls drenched in sweat, doing their workout and exercises.
There were many fatty one as well who came there to burn and lose their excess weight and strive towards fitness.
"Yeaah!!"
"Very good!!"
"You can do it!!!"
"Aaaghh!!"
"One more! One more!"
"Come on!!!"
Some aggressive shouts attracted her attention and she saw couple of guys cheering and motivating another guy who was doing bench press with so many weight plates that even the barbell was bending from their weight.
"Nice! Keep it up!!"
"That's my man!!"
Fixing her fake glasses, June recited, "The main selling points of this product are their big muscles, their wild and well built physique and their gorilla like strength, they are passionate, some time aggressive. And they also value their comradery very highly."
She turned towards Sasha and saw her looking at the gym with dead eyes.
"Next" She said in a dead tone.
June was acting so naturally that even Sasha didn't realized that she had also already become a part of her act and they both wander around the college and it's outskirts in search of some cherries who would suit Sasha's taste.
Dance hall, science lab, boxing ring, swimming pool, random classrooms, cafeteria, staff room, young professors and their assistants and whatnot. Before they knew it, they had roamed around all the college.
That day, the campus infamous 'Ice Queen' wandered everywhere with her friend, looking at boys with her icy cold ice. And a rumour started spreading around the whole college, 'The 'Ice Queen' is out on a hunt'.
Caw~ Caw~ Caw~
The sky was dyed in dim orange as the sun began to set and moon began to rise. Birds cried as they flew in large groups, heading towards their nests.
In front of a prestigious college's gate, two killer beauties stood, exhausted.
"Why do you have such high standards? You just have to date a random guy for short time before breaking-up, it's not like you'll date for real, you both just have to act like you are. I guess now I know why you are famous as 'Ice Queen'." June complained.
"Oh shut up." Looking at her analog wrist watch, she asked June, "So? What now?"
"Don't ask me. I am out of it." June answered, aloof.
"Huh?" Sasha was surprised with June's aloof tone.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" June asked, aloof.
"Why are you talking like that?" Sasha asked.
"'why' you ask?" June looked in Sasha's eyes and said, "what else can I do then? I showed you so many options to pick one for your dating act but you rejected all my options cold heartedly and didn't even appreciated my efforts!" June complained.
Sasha was surprised to see this side of June. Normally June always act positively, joking around and caring for nothing about what's going on around her and the world.
Looking at this new side of June, Sasha thought of something and said with a silly face, "Ohh~ look at who is acting like a cute little child now." It was time for her revenge for all those teasing!
"Come here, let me give you a candy."
"Humpf!" June expressed her anger.
"Ow~ Kuchi kuchi kuu~" Looking at her cute reaction, she lightly pinched June's soft cheeks and started playing with them.
"But.." with a small smile on her face, Sasha let go of June's cheeks, turned on her bellies and said "You don't have to say about how you always helps me June, really. I am always thankful to you." June's ear perked up.
"For always helping me out, for always hanging out with me, always talking with me and above all, for being a friend I can always relay on, with whom I can share my sadness and happiness. Thank you June, for being my best friend and for always being here by my side whenever I need you." She faced June with a beautiful and bright smile.
At that moment, the setting sun's rays showered Sasha in its dim and soft orangish light and lite air softly brushed her soft and silky hair, enhance her beauty even more, paired with her enchanting smile filled with genuine happiness and appreciation. Making her look even more mesmerizing and charming then ever.
Looking at the enchanting look of Sasha, June's anger melted away and a small smile bloomed on her face, sign~ "Really, you are a hopeless case without me."
Hearing June's reply Sasha asked in anticipation, "So!"
"Let's go and look for someone outside the campus, for now." June replied while shaking her head like there is no other choice with a helpless smile.
"Yes!" Sasha jumped happily.
"Let's start by going to a café. While we are at it, let's grab something lite to snack on as well."
"Okay~" Sasha replied happily and they both began to walk towards a fairly famous café near the campus.
While walking,
Bump—
"Ouch!" Sasha fell to the ground as she bumped into someone, her bag sliding off her shoulder.
"Are you blind or somethi—" before she could continue her rage, Sasha came to a sudden pause.
"I am really sorry." Said the person in an emotionless voice as he picked up Sasha's bag for her and extended his hand towards Sasha.
Sasha was mesmerized as she looked towards the person she bumped into.
He was a tall, handsome, strong and sturdy looking man with clean shaved sharp facial features attractive chocolaty brown eyes and his long shiny black hairs slicked to the sidein pomade style. He was wearing an all black suit, black shoes and an expensive looking analog watch on his left wrist. He looked like a very well defined gentleman overall.
Whoosh—
Air gently brushed past both of them, making Sasha's hair afloat, as she looked at the man with a dumbstruck look on her face.
"Are you okay?"
