Page, Glover & Matt (Glover's POV) -----------
This guy doesn't seem as bad as they said he is. I shake his hand in response. "Yeah, I've heard of you. My cousin went to the same school as you - heard some really nasty things. Then again, my cousin's a terrible liar and an even more terrible story teller." I laugh. "It's just good to know we're all on the same page," I elbow Page jokingly. "No pun intended, heh." He jerks his shoulder back, laughing. "Ass." As we make our way out of the cafeteria, I notice Page looking at something... or someone. He leans his head in our direction. "That's the girl from earlier. You know, the one that was Mr. Hyun was scolding? Anyway, she was having a shouting contest with that other guy at her table yesterday. Did'ja guys hear about that one?"
"I think I missed that one," Matt says while scratching the back of his head. "Guess I was too involved in my conversation." Page shrugs, but I take a good look at the girl they're talking about. She's got pale skin, looks a couple of inches shorter than us three, medium black hair tied into some twintails, and a gash over one of her eyes. I'm guessing that's why her eye's purple, and not blue like the other. She has an intimidating kind of smile too. You know, the one that screams "I look happy now, but try to fuck with me."
"I dunno about you two but she's pretty cute." Shit! Did that slip out? Dammit, it did! Page starts to snicker at my comment. "Really, bro? Why don't you go talk to her, Casanova?" Page points a thumb towards Matt. "If he could do it, so could you, right?" For some reason that line ticked me off. It's like he doesn't even know his childhood friend. "You kidding me?" I crack my knuckles and slip a piece of gum into my mouth. "Watch and learn, boys."
I walk up to the girl as calmly and casually as possible. "Excuse me, but I couldn't help but notice that you look familiar... didn't we take a class together? I could've sworn we had chemistry." I overhear Page faking coughs, but I don't care. I'm doing this. My pride as a man is on the line.
