the one that walked away

part 6

It was not less than a week of fest preps that i noticed him. Maybe it was the way he smirked or the way he tossed his soft brown hair off his forehead. Or, maybe it was the way he talked, spreading a sense of aura around him making people get engrossed in what he said. His influence was highly dominating. I heard his acquaintance as a cultural committee head of the student council. He was our direct senior, having to deal with all the events and maintaining decorum was his job. Apart from the extra curriculum, he, from what i heard, claims to hold an equal interest in his academics as well. I was fascinated by his capabilities.
"Whose that new guy?" Asked Stace.
"He's the head of the cultural committee. I dont know his name yet. But i'm equally interested to find out" i replied, a tint of blush spread across my cheeks.
"Catch your breath Liz! Yu already have a line of boys waiting to go out on a date with. Spare this one for me!" Begged Stace. I couldn't help but giggle at that.
"Also, your in a 2 month relationship with Ashton" added Stace.
Ashton was my boyfriend. Having been the famous basketball player added to his charisma, not to mention his hard core features that left every girl on campus drooling over him. Having been famous, he knew he wanted someone famous to fill the space with. And that is how we ended up dating. Ours was termed as the 'perfect couple' of the university. Somewhere deep down, we both knew that aint true but we held onto it as that too, was our source of fame. I'm not sure what Ashton's intentions are, if he's with me for real or playing the fame game just like me. Nevertheless, i didn't care. I had it all, remember?
Perfect girl, perfect world! 
Yeah. That's how life was.
"Are you even listening to me?" Stace demanded bringing me back from my reverie.
"Yeah of course. What were you saying?" I asked politely.
"I was saying, there aren't many guys who grab my attention but this face, this new guy, he fascinates me. I want you to help me get to him. Come on Liz, your always good at grasping attention. Help me out with this one" requested Stace.
As much as he fascinated me too, i knew the only way to get to him was by hooking him up with Stace. Atleast, we could be friends. And what's better, Stace can finally have a boyfriend and me ? Well, the head of cultural committee got laid to my best friend making it easy for me to win.
Once again, thinking of my own concerted self, an evil grin spread across my face.
I looked at Amanda and said "Consider it done Stace"
