Live Again

The Search

it was now Monday, Michela's third day at her new school. she woke up at 5AM to get ready as classes were now beginning and her first class was at 7AM. Michela decided if she was going to find her Mr. Perfect she had to dress the part, so she went into her wardrobe and picked out a short read sleeveless dress and a pair of white sneakers and put them on. She brushed her curly hair into a high ponytail, white socks and a tiny black back pack where she put a notepad, some pens, a calculator and her journal. she grabbed her phone from the table looked in the mirror one last time and rushed out the door ready for her firs class.

She got to class 10 minutes before the scheduled time and there were only a few people in the lecture theater so she walked to a sit in the front where she'd be near the lecturer and be able to see and here him clearly. Just as she put her bag down on the next sit, a crowd of students began to walk in and she got nervous and began to look a her phone to avoid people from talking to her. Six minutes before the class, someone walked into the theater and sat next to Michela who was so into her phone that she did not even realize it.

"Wow, whatever is it you're looking at must be really interesting huh?"

"that's none of your business",  Michela turned around to answer the question when her jaw dropped. It was Dave, sitting so close to her and leaning in wit a little cocky smile on his face.

"you! Are you stalking me?", she said furiously.

 "I'm taking this class too and look around you, there are no more available sits in here. Damn baby girl, that red dress looks beautiful on you" Dave said. Michela turned to look around only to find the theater full of students and only a few sits left around.

"okay, fine! you can sit here, just don't talk to me, i don't know you!' she said and looked back on her phone.

"hey! would you relax?, I'm not gonna bite. You're just really beautiful and for some reason your attitude is so damn attractive", Dave said softly.

"Shut up, you barely know me, you don't even know my name", Michela said with a puzzled face. Dave just smiled at her and looked forward at the lecturer.

Two hours later, the lecture came to an end and everyone began to leave the theater. Dave sat there steering at Michela has she was checking her phone.

 "please just leave!" Michela said while still looking at her phone. 

"Its impossible to push me away when I'm feeling you, so I'll see you around gorgeous". Dave looked at Michela, smiled and walked away.

Michela couldn't believe what she had just heard. He was both arrogant and sweet and it just confused her to the point where she almost forgot she was suppose to be hunting for her perfect guy. She walked out of the lecture theater where everyone was gathered making friends and chatting.

"well I think this is the perfect time". Michela took out her journal and began to look at the guys one by one inspecting each feature carefully. Her "Mr. Perfect" consisted of 

perfect hair

perfect posture

perfect Dental

beautiful brown eyes

medium feet

perfect smile and a nice nose.

As she looked around, majority of the guys only fit into a few things on her list. none of the guys standing there ticked all of her boxes on the list except one guy. From the back view, he had a beautiful posture, good hair, right sized feet and a lovely manly voice. She became so anxious for him to turn around and just stood there steering anxiously.

 "hey man, look over there, seems you have a crush", said the friend to the guy.

 He turned around, to find Michela steering at him and when she looked at his face she was astonished in anger. It was Dave again, this guy was everywhere and right now he was now walking towards her with a tiny smile on his face.

"Hi there gorgeous, need something"?, Dave said softly.

"oh my, please just leave e alone, I wasn't looking at you", Michela said and began to walk away.

Dave laughed a little as he watched her walk away. Michela got to her room and couldn't believe that the only guy that checked every item on her list was the guy she had been trying to avoid this whole time. she began to browse through her phone as she was laying in bed and when she was bored she decided to take a nap.

Two hours later, there was a knock on her door, Michela was hoping her roommate would check who was at the door but her roommate had left the room a few hours ago so Michela was forced to get up and check. With her sleepy eyes and messy hair, Michela unlocked the door and opened it, only to find Dave standing on the other side.

"uuuggghhh", she whined loudly.

"how the hell did you even know my room? why are you here? are you following me around now?", she asked furiously.

I thought I told you that when I want something I always get it no matter the circumstance, now are you gonna let me in?", Dave asked.

"No!, why should I?, I barely know you, you could be a r****t or even a serial killer", she said.

"well...would you rather be seen standing with a stranger at your door"? Dave asked.

"Fine, come in quickly". Michela grabbed he by the hand and pulled him into the room.

"Now, since you say I'm a r****t or a serial killer, lets see how you can handle me". Dave said as he pushed Michela towards the door and leaned in for a kiss.

"if you don't back off from me right now, I'm gonna scream"! Michela said in a shaky voice.

"are you really gonna scream baby girl?", Dave asked with a smile and backed off. 

"nice room you got here, can I take a seat"? he asked, looking around and walking towards the chair.

Michela was still standing there against the door still shaken and surprised that he just tried to kiss her and was now acting like nothing had just happened.

"don't worry, I won't do that again, i just wanna talk". he said. Michela moved away from the door and sat on her bed.

"what do you wanna talk about?", she asked patiently.

"well, I already told you I like you so I don't know what else to say". He moved closer and held her face with his hand. 

"you're the most beautiful girl I've seen in this school and even when you just woke and with your sleepy face and messy hair you're even more beautiful", Dave said, looking directly into Michela's eyes.

Michela was completely puzzled and speechless at the moment, this was the guy that matched very thing on her list and he was sitting in front of her telling her all these things.

"all I came to ask is for for you to give me a chance"? Dave asked.    

He got up and grabbed a pen and paper.

"here's my number, you have 3 days to give me an answer and I'll leave you alone till then". he said and walked out the door.

Michela couldn't believe this guy, he just walked in flirted with her made demands and left. Who the hell did he think he was? Michela was fluttered and confused all at the same time, she knew that despite telling him to leave her alone she liked how he had been bothering her in her first few days of school so it was going to be awkward between the two of them.
