How to Outfox the Playboy

Watching from the outside

My name is Catherine but my friends call me Cat.  And It all started junior year of 2020.

  I didn't realize how easy it was to get guys to get obsessed with my friend Journey. 

I guess its her perfect life and body but who knows right? 

So when I'm sitting at my desk in chemistry class and he started hitting on her I wasn't super surprised.

But when he came up to me I was caught a bit off guard.

Now let me say, I'm not the most aesthetic or appealing girl at our school. 

I'm more of an academic and homebody kinda girl. 

And I gotta admit I love the,"occasional", binge on junk food while watching Netflix. 

However I'm not saying much considering everyone at my school is a rich gorgeous model. 

Hi I'm Catherine...wait I already said that. 

Oh well.

I'm a confused girl in a confusing world. 

My family is a little messed up making it hard for me to get close to anybody really. 

What nobody knows can't come back to bite me in the ass....right?

I have one philosophy.  And that's to keep everything I feel bottled up other than the momentary moods and temptation. 

Do and regret basically.

then bottle it up and do it again.  The problem is that I get closer and close to breaking, that I don't know who's going to be around when I shatter. 

And I don't want someone I care about to be hit by the shrapnel.

So basically I sit in chem class while Miles, the playboy, jokes around with Journey  (or as I call it, blatantly flirting) 

I just watch as my naive little friend leads on the playboy.

She gets all the guys while my ordinary self watches from the outside. 

I don't know, Miles isn't really anything special.  At least, not in the beginning.  Not in my eyes. 

All the girls fall all over him, but when I did my annual mental ranking of the hottest guy to cutest  guy in all my six classes, he barely seemed decently attractive. 

He too looked ordinary.  Like an ordinary playboy.

But when he walked up to me and offered I help him get with my friend journey in return that he pays me back in favors It sorta stood out to me. 

And NO the favors aren't what you think, more like errands.

I felt like slapping him but i was curious to see what it would be like to have the F-boy player of sophomore year on my side. 

But you know what they say... curiosity killed the Cat.
