"drama alert!"

lauren sighed beside me as brynn squealed in excitement. my two friends had always been different from each other. lauren was silent, brynn was loud. lauren had a shorter temper while brynn had the greatest patience. but both were alike at one thing- they both had interest in love, but could not get the men they wanted.

they were both heartbroken, we all were.

"so? any news about sebastian?" brynn grinned.

my eyes immediately widened. lauren gasped as i jumped at brynn to cover her mouth with my hand. ah, this girl just could not shut up for the life of her.

"you do not mention his name in public," i hissed.

"oops." brynn giggled.

i sighed. sometimes i just regret telling brynn that i was falling for sebastian. she really had a big mouth. she'd slip sometimes and i'd hate that. but anyway, she was my best friend and it was inevitable not to tell her my secret. brynn always had a way of making me admit things i didn't want to.

"okay. any news about him?" she wiggled her brows.

i shrugged. "we talked a while ago. that's all."

"well, we also talked a while ago. can you make your lovelife a little bit more interesting, madi?"

that was the point. i was too scared to talk to him without including calculus and chemistry in our conversation. that was always the topic of our talks- well if you would call it a talk.

"you know, i really think you should make a move. i heard there was a sophomore crushing on him." brynn giggled.

and there it went, my stupid jealous heart. it was always like this when i heard someone was interested in him. i'd frown and ask questions about the girl, but would rather not make a move. besides, who was i to get jealous in the first place? it was not like sebastian and i were together.

brynn was just triggering me. this girl.

"really? unbelievable." lauren scoffed.

well, i couldn't blame her reaction. it really was hard to believe that someone was crushing on sebastian collins. yes, he was praised by all because of his brains. but he wasn't exactly the type of boy a girl would look for; the type of boy whose smile was worth melting for; the type of boy whose moves were worth swooning for.

he was the typical nerdy guy. he totally wasn't anyone's type.

and that was why i couldn't understand myself. what went on with your brain, madi?

sebastian collins, really?
