WHAT CHARACTERSTICS DO YOU find boys attractive?" Asher gazed at his right. She was looking at the skies while lying on the ground. Her lips spanned.


"Caring and loyal. A boy who is real. Who is real and will never give up loving you." She answered. Asher is perfectly fitted with those characteristics. That's what he thought. "What about you?" She interrogated not breaking her gaze from the skies.

"I don't know," Asher replied. She looked at her with a questioning look. "You don't know?"

"Well, to be honest, I never get interested in someone." He added, letting out a soft chuckle.

There was a pause before she declared. "Girls probably chasing you."

"Well." He expressed, "You can say that."

She laughed as her response.

The atmosphere was covered with silence. But it wasn't an awkward silence. This is the atmosphere that everyone is comfortable with it. Silence, but not awkward.

Asher never felt that before.

This girl must be really different for Asher to feel that way. He is wondering if he might be sick or maybe the girl is just really different from the others.

"The girl who caught your eyes is lucky." She started, breaking the silence.

Asher can't help but stare at her. He is just staring. A didn't say a word. "That's what they said."

Little does she know that she is lucky.

"Wait, bro." Johnny's mouth widened. "For real?"

"Yeah." Asher breathe out and closed his eyes.

"I don't know, isn't that kinda impossible if she's also dreaming the same thing? Dreams are one-sided." Kenzie announced.

"Exactly." Asher agreed. "But there's still in me that keep on asking."

They all sighed in unison. They're currently taking their lunch at the cafeteria. They are more few minutes for them to go back and take their last three periods.

"So you're attracted?" Kenzie broke the silence. Asher's eyes wander around while thinking.

"I don't know how to answer that." He replied, taking his burger from his table and took a big bite.

"That's how you tell us." Johnny formed a grin on his lips, "That's kinda new. It's been a while since the last time you're attracted to girls."

"That's how I'm feeling right now." Asher finally agreed with the statement. He exhaled and closed his eyes.

"So you're saying you're attracted?" Kenzie asked, confirming his answer.

"Yeah?" He finally confirmed. Johnny and Kenzie exchanged glances and raised their hands for a high-five. "Finally!"

"Don't assume too much." Asher declared out. He breathed out, like the usual, and take the last bite of his food.

"I badly want to meet this girl," Johnny commented.

"Yeah, so that I also have a friend, like a girl pal who can I vibe with. With clothes, sleepovers." Kenzie added with a grin as her lips curved.

Asher didn't say a statement or deadpan. He just wants to take some time thinking about it.

Wait no, he shouldn't think about her a lot.

She's a huge distraction who keeps interrupting his head. He never liked someone, unless she came. Yet, just inside of her dreams.

Asher sighed in frustration. He hates when he can't deal with his thoughts. Fate is messing with him again. Why's that?

"Holy crap." My eyes widen as Asher was frightened. He peeked at the back and he groaned.

"Hey." She waves her hand wearing this smile curving on her lips. He gave her a nod.

She is Jenna. Let's say she's one of the people who "like" Asher. But she is different. She's kinder rather than Emily. She has hazel eyes and hazel brown hair that's suitable for her. Asher finds her beautiful. She is fine and the personalities of a girl he wants are in her, but she doesn't find her attractive. She is also heartthrob in this university. Johnny found her attractive and the other guys who have high standards like Asher. But that doesn't mean that he is also attracted or one of those boys.

"Do you need anything?" Asher asked as he turned around and breathed out impatiently.

"Yes! What about you?" She let out a giggle which makes Asher groan even more. "I need to do something Jenna, what do you want?"

"You're rude." She pouted. Asher didn't care. He's a typical cold person to those people who are annoying. But you can still see the tenderness.

"Look, if you're here to waste my time, I suggest you cut this conversation off-"

"No, I'm not!" Jenna deadpans, interrupting Asher. "I'm having a party after this Semester. You should go and invite Kenzie and Johnny!"

Asher stays quiet and starts thinking. "That's really far. Examinations are on the week after next." He declared, crossing his arms.

"Yeah, I'm just telling everyone so that more people will join." She said, "I also invited from the other town."

"What?" Asher's mouth widened, "How many universities did you invite?"

"I'll go to Rockwood tomorrow, and that will be the fifth university." She answered, "Why though?"

"That's a lot," Asher exclaimed, a little louder. "Are you that friendly?"

"I want to meet new friends." She giggles.

Asher rolled his eyes and nodded, "So are you going?" Jenna asked.

"Sure. When and Where?"

"The usual, at my house." She replied, "The date is not yet sure. But I'll update you."

Asher nodded and she turned around and start stepping away, "Will you see you there. Thanks Ashy."

Asher rolled his eyes again at the last word. Girls are using that to flirt and it disgusts him.

He exhaled and step outside the entrance, heading back home.
