CH.53: I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING

*CHER'S POV*

"Okay, so tell me what your turn offs are in a girl." I told Liam.

We were now chilling in a cafe somewhere near the school.

I only decided to do this in the first place just to get my head off of Robbie.

And of course Zayn and Luke insisted that they'd tag along with us just for the heck of it.

"You're paying for our orders, right?" Zayn asked Liam.

"No. I'm only paying for Cher's." Liam replied right across the table.

Zayn and Luke were seated on either side of me.

"You two are like her bouncers or something..." Liam commented.

"Hey, we're not that buff." Luke made a face like he was offended.

"If anything, we like to be viewed as her personal bodyguards which is way cooler than being bouncers at a nightclub." Zayn said.

"Uh, I'm pretty sure that I don't need any protection. I'm good at punching people in the face, remember?" I reminded them.

"Okay... we won't protect you then. We just want to hang out." Zayn says.

"So let's get down to business, shall we?" Luke beated me to saying this.

"Just answer my question already." I sighed.

"Turn offs, right. Um, just like most of the male population, I'm not really into nerdy girls with the thick glasses and the overalls outfit." Liam stated.

"Nerdy girls, got it. What else?"

"Uh, I'm not into skanky girls either." He added.

"Then what type is it that you like, dude? Other dudes?" Zayn commented.

"Obviously, I'm into the 'Cher' type. The cold, mysterious, and really pretty kind." Liam blushed.

"Well, she is quite hard to find, isn't she?" Luke grinned.

"Oh I think you're talking about Zayn with your description of 'mysterious' and 'pretty'. I'm more of an antisocial misfit who fights like a man really." I said.

"Oh yeah? Well, I still like you're type." Liam insisted.

"Man, are you gay?" Zayn asked him.

"What? No! I wasn't talking about you." Liam sighed.

"Anyway, I'll come by at your place for our 'homework session' this weekend so that I can act out your turn offs." It's a code for babysitting him.

"Any other turn off?" I added.

"Louis. I don't really like the guy." He says.

"Yeah, we're not really talking about guys here but I'll keep that in mind." I arched an eyebrow.

"Told you he's gay." Zayn high-fived Luke.

"Uh, still here..." Liam glared at the two of them.

"Robbie alert." Luke whispered in my ear.

He was with Travis when they entered the cafe.

We made a brief eye contact then he whispers to his boyfriend and out they went the cafe like they instantly changed their minds to hang out someplace else other than here because of me.

"That was rude. He didn't even say hi." Luke shook his head in disappointment.

"He has every right to be mad at me. I'm the one who broke up with him in the first place..." I said out loud.
