"Irene! Irene right?"
He blurted out her name while pointing the tip of the bottle at her. His eyes and smile we're so wide that he looked like he just won the lottery. " Uhhh, yeah." She answered, taking the bottle from his hand. She was thinking about the bruise on his cheek, wanted to ask about it but somehow thought that that would be awkward. And also, she didn't know this guy, or maybe she just can't remember. Maybe someone from highschool.
"Do you remember me?" He asked , like he was reading her mind.
"You know I'm pretty famous back in highschool."
Ahh, maybe some famous jerk. She thought. But still, she ran down a list of some famous people's names back then. There were so many it gave her a miny headache.
"I'm Alex, by the way" he said. She looks at him again for a few seconds and remembered, a guy from Section B that was rumored to date girls and then dump then on the same day. Girls, huh.
"So you we're that guy." She said taking another drink of her beer.
"Please don't make it sound like I'm a thing" and he kind of like pouted like girl. Actually, she looked like a girl. When she looked closely, he had a small face, at least smaller that other guys. And his lashes are longer and thicker than hers, it looked like he had mascarra on. And his hair, although short, was almost like a pixie cut. He looks so delicate that he could be the meaning for the word 'pretty'. She must have been staring at him for a while, for he leaned in to her face and whispered, "stop staring at me like that," .....then ....."or else I will you". She parted her lips to say something when a guard with a flashlight approached them.
"I'm sorry Sir, but I think this is not the place for that."
