Episode 2: Rainy days no more

Sue is now his best friend. Though at first Susan seems very fond of him but after spending the time together, the feeling sank somewhere between their conversations. Yes, to Susan's and every other female customers who saw a glimpse at Adam would stop and realise they were impressed by him. He was sweet, cute and friendly. Soon enough, he became popular at the cafe. All the staffs knew him, some girls from Up Hills All Girls High School even hung out there just to accidentally bumped into him. Where is his mask? He doesn't need one in that place. Because both of his world do not clashes with each other. It's because he had carefully arrange his social life from a Nerd to The Guy. He will ensures those two world would never meet.

It has only been a week but the bond between Susan and Adam was getting better each and everyday. Susan, who is 16, working as a part time staff, consider Adam as his brother because he is one year older than her. Other girls would eye-tail her everytime she talks to him out of jealousy. Some girls are ridiculously funny as they tried everything to get Adam's attention. From accidentally brushed over his shoulder to wearing those mini skirts that does not look anything but ****. But to his usual behaviour, he does not know of these things. He didn't even think any of the girls there are interested in him. He once complimented the cafe for all the superbs drinks and meals and their fantastic services but little does he know that he is the one that cause the cafe to become a cool place to hang especially for girls. The manager of the cafe even always treat Adam for a drink and gave him special discounts just to keep him coming back there. Susan flashes all of this while watching Adam going through his homework. She chuckled as the girls are again trying to make Adam notice of them. Adam looked at her blankly.

Adam: What's wrong?

Susan: Haha. Nothing.

Adam: You have been staring me down and then laugh again before looking at me AGAIN. Tell me what's up.

Susan: Whoa! How tempered are you today.

Adam: I'm sorry but I can't seem to focus on my homework.

Susan: (She whispered) Yeah you can't when all the girls are staring at yah.

Adam: What was that?

Susan: Ouh,nothing. You were saying? (She smiled)

Adam: You know, I don't understand girls nowadays.

Susan: And...why should you?

Adam: Sue, you know what I meant. I mean, I don't know why girls always go for the bad guys. I mean yeah the jocks are good looking but they are jerks! And when they look at girls they have only one thing in mind and I bet you know what they are.

Susan: Sure thing I do. I mean, I can see them doing it even in front of their lockers and the teachers were WAY too busy to notice.

Adam: You're a girl right?

Susan: Erm...Let me check, oh yes! I do have female body parts if that what you mean by a GIRL.

Adam: Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to offend yah like that. SO, what makes girls go for the bad guys?

Susan: ONE SIMPLE THING: P.O.P.U.L.A.R.I.T.Y. Bad guys are well known among girls and if they want to up lift their status quo they go for the bad guys.

Adam: Is that all matter to girls? POPULARITY?

Susan: Popularity is the key to invitation to awesome parties, good seats in class and influence. But not ALL of them are like that. .

Adam: Okay, I see.

Susan: Why these questions all of the sudden?

Adam: I don't know.. I can't believe those girls at school. They just let those jerks do whatever they want over them. Sometimes I pity them for not respecting themselves.

Susan: Ah,those girls.. Are we talking about 'your precious Molly' again?

Adam: Who?

Susan: Nothing! Look, if you don't like the view of it so do something about it. Or even at least say something about it,to them, to her.

Adam: What? Me? Interfering? No way! Gettin in their way is the last thing I would do!

Before he could finish his lines, his attention was caught on one thing. It was a her. She was standing there at the Magazine Corner, reading some magazines while waiting for her order. She was beautiful, inside out. That is the type of girl that could caught his attention. Not blonde chicks with mini skirts, God no! But his type is to more bright but yet kind student who is not high profile as she likes to keep it down. Being the usual him, he looked away and sighed in dissapointment. Susan didn't have to ask. She turned her back and saw the girl. She knew what was Adam's type. She smiles right away. "Good choice!" she said. She waited for a few moments to see if he's going to take his chances but as usual he didn't. The girl slowly took her latte. She was walking away when Susan stomped Adam's feet and signaling him to make a move. "What?!" he shouted. She again signals her eyes to the girl. At first he resisted but then he decided to ran after her. Only to find out that he was too late. The girl had vanished. Susan was utterly upset with him. That was the Adam she knows. He didn't want to make a move until the last minute. If this is the case then Adam would end up being lonely she thought. She had to do something. Adam came in the cafe with a regret look. Susan, being a good friend, didn't say anything and asked him to go home.
