Jesse 

"HE ASKED YOU TO WHAT!?" Dylan's loud voice almost made my soul jump out of my body. 

I scrunched up my face. I think he broke my ear. I swear this idiot is going to kill me one day. 

You see, I love my best friend but there are times when I regret ever meeting him. 

"THAT HANDSOME BOY WHO LOOKS LIKE A GREEK GOD ASKED YOU TO HELP HIM!?"

"Calm down, Dylan. It's not like he asked me out on a date," I rolled my eyes at him. I tried to calm him down but it was no use. My best friend is freaking dramatic. 

I agree that Tristan is handsome and the fact that he asked me for help is a bit suspicious but that doesn't mean he's interested in me. 

People will think he asked me out on a date if they saw how Dylan is reacting. 

"Are you kidding me?! He could have asked ANYONE! Heck, he could have just hired a freaking private tutor or something. He's crazy rich for God's sake! But he chose YOU!" Dylan exclaimed, pointing a finger at me. "The shy and cute little nerd," He grinned. 

"Can you not describe me like that?" I scoffed in annoyance. He never wasted a chance to make fun of me. I agree I'm shy. It's because I have social anxiety. I stutter easily when talking to people I don't know. I always hated that. Some people think I'm weird and some think I'm cute. It doesn't seem cute to me at all. 

"Never. So...when is your little 'study session' happening?" Dylan asked while using air quotation. 

"Why are you using air quotes? It is a study session," I said as I rolled my eyes at him again. He exaggerates everything. 

"Whatever... Just tell me when, where, and all the details, " He said and grinned like an idiot. 

He's eager to set me up with someone. I understand how he feels. We're both nerds. That means the whole college thinks that we're no fun, which is not true. Nerds are fun too. You'll know if you hang out with them. 

Anyways, because of that, we're not invited to any parties and stuff. It's not like we want to go but we're left out of everything people think is fun doing. We don't have the chance to make new friends. 

No one comes to us or talks to us. If we go up to them, they'll glare at us till we're out of their sight. 

I don't like talking to people but I think it's nice to have some friends. Dylan thinks the same. He doesn't like the fact that our college life is so uneventful. That's why he's exaggerating the little thing that happened today. 

Or maybe the rom-com movies he watched got into his head. 

I sighed and looked at him. "Well…, It's tomorrow but he didn't tell me the time and place. He said he will text me—"

"HE WHAT?!"

Oh god, here we go again. 

"WAIT! HOW? OH MY GOD! HE GOT YOUR NUMBER?! "

"It's for—"

"Wait! I need a moment to take this all in," He said, raising his hands. 

What is going inside that guy's head?

"Listen to me Jesse, that guy is totally into you. This is like all those romance movies where the rich, popular guy falls in love with the cute nerd," He said dreamily. "You guys are so cute.... I ship it! Wait! You guys need a ship name. Hmm.... Jesstan?...or.. how about Trisse? " 

Trisse? What kind of ridiculous name is that? 

"Dylan," I rubbed my temple, listening to Dylan's rant. This boy seriously makes my head hurt. "You're moving too fast,"

Dylan grinned sheepishly. "Okay, I'll slow down,"

I only told him about the number and he's already planning our future. I think the lack of romance in both of our lives made him delusional. 

Or maybe he's just dumb.

I've never believed in the dumb blonde thing but my blonde haired bestie over here is definitely dumb. You should hear the things he says sometimes. 

Why did I even tell him about this in the first place?  

Well, actually I didn't tell him. He kinda found out on his own. He was late for lunch and saw Tristan and me eating at our usual table. Being the genius he is, he chose another table and decided to not so secretly spy on us. 

I wonder how Tristan didn't see him. 

He waited there till Tristan left and after that, I was showered with questions.
