I buy myself a large ice tea and sip on it till the rest of friends find me. I was half hoping they wouldn’t. I was better off here – alone, and not kissing random guys and then running away from them.

“There you are….” I find the cute Asian dude in front of me – again. And then completely losing control of myself, start blinking too fast and catch myself unable to stop.

“Are you alright?” he asks, tilting his head.

At that moment, the part of my brain – that should never do the thinking - does the thinking. I get up and throw my ice tea on him. Soaked, he speaks again.

“Okay, I was going to ask you out, but, that’s not going to happen anymore” I curse myself and walk away. Covering my face so I can’t see the glares everyone was shooting at me.

“LEAH!” I recognize the high pitched screech. I turn to my left and see Autumn making her way towards me.

“You talking to me? Oh I’m sorry, I thought you didn’t know me”

“Stop being so stuck-up, if you were me, you would have done the same. Don’t bother denying it, because both you and I, know that I’m not wrong” I just scrunch my face in disappointment, I was looking forward to bad-mouthing her.

As the two of us walked towards Harry and Dustin, Cece placed her arms around me.

“You see the dude selling candy? The one with the really good hair? Go kiss him, last one for now. I promise.”

“Oh no, no, no, no, no, no” I shake my head rapidly in disagreement.

“Well, I guess you’re just keen on seeing Harry undressed” Autumn places her hand against her mouth, trying to stop the sniggers that were threatening to escape.

“Fine! Fine, I’ll do it. God! Stupid Harry!” I stomp my way to guy Cece had pointed out.

“Hey there, what would you like to bu-”

I pull him down with his collar and smack my lips against his. It was quite sloppy – mainly because he wasn’t kissing me back - and in a few seconds, I let go of him. I flash him a fake smile, and then turn on my heels and pick up my pace and bolt towards the nearest shop I could find. I don’t bother looking at the sign and try to barge in. But the stupid glass door was so clean, that I didn’t even realize it stood there - towering in front of me. I rammed into the glass door so hard that I was pretty sure I cracked my skull. I stroked my throbbing head as I opened the door and walked in. I tried not to make any eye-contact, mainly because I hated it when the damned staff would get on my tail to help me pick out something. And the other reason being that I had made an explosion of a sound banging into the entrance. Not my most elegant hour.

I briefly look around before I realize, I must be in the men’s undergarment section. So I walk further in, wondering why the display of a shop would be knickers. The section never got over, I just ended up in front of a wall. I looked to the side and stared at a pair of black boxers. And then I realized I was in a showroom, as I read the big bold letters printed on the strap of the boxer –

Calvin Klein.

I would hope to surreptitiously scamper away from here, but I was too deep inside the shop and I felt a palm rest on my left shoulder.

I jerk because of the sudden contact; slowly, trying to keep my cool I turn around, lips arched in a charming smile. I giggle before I can gabble. But he speaks before I can. His face is adorned with an odd smile, and his eyes look a bit dull behind the lenses of his thick nerd glasses. His hair on the contrary, is very superbly done.
