"Hey there," came a voice from behind Jessalyn. "Is this spot taken?"

Jessalyn turned around to face a white-haired, skinny but built guy. Taken aback by his question, she shook her head and he took a seat beside her.

"My name is Pietro," said the boy while slicking back his already perfect hair.

"Uh...my name is Jessalyn." She said as she gave him a nervous smile.

"What a beautiful name...Jessalyn..." he said her name with such grace as he looked off into space. He soon snapped back into reality and turned to her once again. "You're new here, my dear, so I will be willing to cut you some slack." Jessalyn gave him a curious look as he continued talking. "I'm going to allow you to ask me out right here and now. That way, you won't have to be put on the waiting list with the usual girls." He gave her a cocky smile. "So? What do you say?"

Jessalyn's eyes grew wide with disbelief. *This guy is so full of himself,* she though to herself. But, because she was a naturally polite person, she asked, "I'm sorry? But whatever gave you the impression that I wanted to go out with you?"

Now it was Pietro's turn to be taken aback. "Well, I just assumed...that..." but he just couldn't come out with any of the right words.

*Assumed?!* she thought. *Oh, this guy is going too far!* Jessalyn looked at him with even more disbelief than before. She wasn't about to let this guy think that he could have her that easily. "Umm...no offence or anything. But I'm just not interested."

Pietro's jaw dropped. He had never been rejected before. "What are you talking about? Any girl at this school would have died to have the offer that I just gave you!" He had yelled this without meaning to and had gotten the attention of the whole cafeteria.

Jessalyn shook her head in disgust and said with narrowed eyes, "You must think that you're God's gift to women! Well let me tell ya somethin' pal," she stood up and poked him in the chest, "It takes a lot more than looks to win me over!"

"Like what?!" Pietro was flabbergasted

"Like a personality!" Jessalyn snapped back before turning and walking away from Pietro. She ignored the many whispers that now took wind as she walked out of the cafeteria.

With her exit, Pietro just sat there stunned while about a dozen or so girls just flitted to his rescue but he just waved them away. "I will win you over," he vowed silently to himself through gritted teeth. "No girl rejects me and gets away with it." And with that he slammed his tray onto the table, stood up and stormed out of the cafeteria.
