Too Gay for You: Don't Give me Heart Eyes!

Popular girl Ari Cho is absolutely charming, leaving Yumi Kim, the school nerd, so gay to function normally.

FOREWORD:

Like any other day, I sat back and watched Ari hold court in the far corner of the school cafeteria. She was surrounded by her usual swarm of admirers, each one trying-and failing-to win her over. One by one, they crumbled under the weight of her gentle rejections, their faces painted with the sting of unrequited affection.

Oh, what a marvellous sight to behold.

The scene took a dramatic turn when two of the boys started arguing, throwing out accusations about who was making Ari more uncomfortable. The irony was almost too good-they were both so oblivious to the fact that their entire presence was likely making her want to bolt out the door.

I took another bite of my sandwich, savouring the free entertainment. Poor Ari, trapped in the middle of a gaggle of hormonal teenagers who genuinely believed their cringe-worthy displays of "manliness" would sweep her off her feet.

Pathetic.

You might be wondering why I'm not stepping in to rescue Ari from that circus of admirers. Well, let me give you three solid reasons why meddling is a terrible idea for me.

First, I'm no Superman-I don't do heroic deeds.

Second, I'm far too comfortable living my drama-free life to jeopardise it now.

And third, let's be real, my body is definitely not built for a catfight.

As I happily munched on my sandwich, enjoying the chaos from a safe distance, I made a grave error, I locked eyes with Ari.

Oh, crap.

Picture this: while the two idiotic boys were still mid-argument, Ari-with a slightly shy smile-started walking towards my direction, her tray of food balanced in her hands.

No, no, no. God, please tell me she's not actually coming to talk to m-

"Hi, Yumi!" she said casually, her smile so bright it could power a small city.
