"I bet you can't pull any boy in this cafeteria for a date. Right here, right now." Yeo-jin, my attractive, titan blonde friend spoke, while scanning the cafeteria, then watched me, waving a hundred dollar bill in the air. "Watch me." I winked at him and stood up, fixing the white school shirt and searched the cafeteria in hope in finding a boy. But not just any boy. A tall, brunette, attractive boy like me don't do this everyday, but a hundred dollars at stake, got to do it. J eon: A dirty rich, black hair boy, tall and considered very attractive, but I don't think so. Maybe because of our past history together. Li-Yoj: A cute short and introverted nerd, but wouldn't go for him because he had been played many times by mostly boys, especially by J-eon. Next, Zion: A male who can pull off both hot and cute. Tall and very playful. When I say very playful, veeerrryyyyy playful. De-on: The class clown. Ginger head and not really the type to get on his bad side. Trust me, I'll know. Next, Felix: The popular guy. Really and truly known for him muscular and attractive body and facial features. Last but not least, Aaron: The captain for North Side's basketball team. Red haired, tall and beautiful facial features, and known to get anyone he wanted. Plus, own the title of 'Player'. "Time to snag a player and show who's the real player", I whispered my breath and walked in his direction unsuspicious. Yeogin watched my every move doubting me. Aaron had just took a seat in the middle of the cafeteria. I pulled my black wallet out of my deep pocket and dropped it innocently in front of him. "Oh you dropped something there",Aaron send leaning towards the white marbled flooring and handed it to me. "Thanks", I said smiling at him. I caught him staring into my soul and looked at the invisible camera. "Is something on my face?", I managed to blurt out. "No. You just look super familiar", he said trying to remember. "I think I'm in your Math class", I told him, totally still on script. "Oh yes. Your name is Tae right?". "Yes. And your name is Aaron", totally on script. "Yeah. Kind of wanted to get your phone number for a while. Can I get it?", he asked politely. "Yeah, it's 298-****", I reluctantly told him remembering the mission. "Thanks. We can go out sometime. Of course if you want to", he again shooted out a question. "Hey, that's my job!", I said in my mind. "Yeah, just text me the place. Bye", I told him and walked off. "Bye", he said and watched my walk off back to Yeogin. "Success". I mouthed to him and signalled for the money. "Here", Yeogin gave me and rolled him hazel eyes and pouted. "Stop", I told him and saw Aaron staring at me.

I was at home after school in my comfy pajamas and doing my Math homework from Mr. Potato. "Who names their surname Potato?", I told myself trying to finish. "Ding!", my phone went off. I grabbed my phone and saw the text was phone was from Aaron. I unconsciously blushed, laid down on my stomach and started to kick my long legs in the air while replying. Aaron: "Hey want to go out now? Can't wait until whenever". I gave it some thought and replied. Me: Sure. Where do you have in mind?", I responded. Aaron: "Where do you like to eat?", he asked. Me: Joeys. I absolutely love their burgers", I texted, sending the message. Aaron: Alright. Be ready before 6 pm. I'll be outside your place in a red Nissan", he told me immediately getting offline. Me: Do you even know where I live?", I asked him. Aaron:"Don't worry about that. Just get ready". I got offline thinking about Aaron's response, but still got ready. I hopped out of bed and picked out some clothes and took a quick bath. Furthermore, grabbed my towel and dried off my curly hair. Then walking out of the bathroom to put on a fresh new pair of draws. Grabbed a pair of brown cargo shorts and a white buttoned top, and a black leather belt. Now just waiting on Aaron's response. Not even a minute later, I got a text back from Aaron. "Outside your place. Are you ready?", he texted. I watched the time on my phone and the time was 5:47pm. "Not bad timing I guess", I told myself. "Coming down now", I replied and walked downstairs to Aaron. "Bye mom!", I shouted to my mom who was currently bathing. "Bye honey!", she shouted back. "Be safe!". I opened the white door and locked the door with the spare house keys my mom gave me recently. I spotted Aaron's appealing car and entered inside." You look nice", Aaron spoke after noticing me and placed down his black cell phone. "Thanks. I like how you did your hair. How do you guys do that? I always wanted to do that for a while", I told him looking extremely amused by the style of his hair. Aaron watched my eyes wondered around his hair and he placed his hand on my right lower thigh. I noticed it and didn't think about it much. " I'll send you the video on how to do it", he told me and started the car. I shook my head in response of yes and turned red as a cherry but his actions. At the spot, he parked and stopped the vehicle. I took off the seat belt and opened the car door to get out, but Aaron stopped me. "Wait, Tae", he said with his hand on my right shoulder. I scooted back into the seat and closed the door, which allowed the light inside the car to turn off. "What's up?", I said watching him. He grabbed the back of my neck and pulled me into a light kiss and Aaron pulled away first. "Um?", I murmured tried to process what just happened.

Aaron pulled away and watched my eyes and I watched him back lost in my thoughts. "Umm", not me trying to find my words. "I've liked you for a while now", Aaron said looking down as if embarrassed. "Oh shit! What should I say? All this was just for the bet. I'm just going to say, I like you too and see how far this can go", I spoke to myself in my clogged mind. "I actually like you too Aaron", I said blushing. "Really?", he said looking shocked. I nod my head in response for yes. The silence in the cool air-conditioned car became loud and awkward. Just two boys watching each other and don't know what to do or what to say. "Well, this is awkward", Aaron said patting this right thigh. "Let's go", I said opening the car door and gesturing for him to come with me. Opening the car door and smelling the aroma of burgers made me felt the hunger of terror. I closed the door and walked on the stoned like ground with Aaron and started to order. While ordering, I felt Aaron's soft hand wander about my arm and held grasp of my hand. I saw Aaron of the corner of my eye lost in space watching me. "Is that all sir?", the female cashier asked. " Yes. Aaron, what do you want?", I snapped my fingers in front of his face to bring him back to reality. "Oh. A double cheeseburger and a Coca-Cola please", he spoke getting back to earth. "That'll be ninety-five dollars and two cents. Will that be cash or card, sir?", she asked looking at me. "Cash", I said reaching in for my wallet. "Don't worry. I got it", Aaron said stopping me midway, then reaching in his black jeans for his wallet and giving the money to the cashier. "No need to thank me", Aaron said wining at me and reaching for the bag of food and strolled off. I just stood there and watched him walk off and walked off behind him. He sat down at the exposed table in the park across from the trailer and waited for me. "You walk too fast. Way too fast", I said trying to catch my breath and sat down with my hand on my warm chest. "Sorry. I'll slow down next time", Aaron said giving me my food and drink.

After eating, we cleaned up our table and cross the street to get back to the car. While Aaron was going to start the vehicle, I went over to throw away the garbage and went back to Aaron. I opened the car door and sat down before closing the door and watched Aaron beginning to drive off. While driving back to my house, I watched the bright stars in the dark and meaningful sky and decided to ask Aaron a question I've been meaning to ask him. Aaron was fixing his perfect hair and driving the car one handed. "Wait, why is that kinda attractive?", I told myself. "Aaron, how did you know where I live?", I asked him and he watched me half smiling. "Uh...", he said, and putting one hand behind his neck.
