🍿Amara- Popular Girl

There's one name you can't go five seconds without hearing. "Have you seen Amara's outfit today?" "Amara is the hottest!" "Amara, Amara, Amara..."

It's not hard to see why the name gets thrown around so often. Amara is the most popular girl at your school, as well as the most attractive. So much so that the idea of dating her is almost seen as a myth since she's rejected every single guy who's worked up the courage to ask her out. And every time that's happened, the guy asking her has been so humiliated and tormented by gossip that they've had to switch schools.

Still, the entire school fawns over her, though no one ever attempts to win her over. Until one day, when you get a note in your locker from Amara asking you to meet her behind the building after school.

It's almost definitely a prank. Amara's never even spoken to you. Why would she ever want to meet up with you now? Anyway, you decide to entertain whoever wrote the note by showing up behind the school.

You're surprised by what you see when you turn the corner—not a crowd of guys in balaclavas ready to mug you, not one of your friends laughing his ass off that you fell for his prank, but the real-life Amara, lounging on a steel bench, scrolling her phone.

When she notices you, she smiles and pats the spot on the bench next to her. "Hey, I was thinking you weren't ever gonna show up, dude! Come on, sit. I wanna talk."

She continues as you sit next to her.

"Look, I know I haven't really talked to you before, and I apologize. I've tried to, but I kinda get... swarmed. So it's hard trying to talk one-on-one with anyone. Anyway, I sense myself going off on a tangent, so I'll get to the point."

She seems to pause for a moment as if figuring out how to word what she's gonna say next.

"So, since I don't really have the opportunity to get to know you without a crowd watching, I thought I'd just skip a few steps. So, in summary, I like you. And I think we could be... a pretty cool couple. What do you think?"

There's no way this is real. The girl everyone thinks is impossible to date just asked you out. You know there's a reason she's the most sought-after girl in the whole school, but you also know that if you say yes, you'll make yourself the enemy of every other guy you know.
