13 Can't you take a Hint? WE.ARE.OVER!

"Uhm no. I'm here for my boyfriend...so if you don't mind...he's waiting for me" Queshia dismissed the guy with a forced smile. He's just a classmate at one subject anyway...and they never even interacted once before this.

She returned to their table, but to her surprise, Maverick was nowhere to be found. She texted him right away asking where he is and even tried calling, but no luck, he ignored everything.

Queshia felt devastated, she didn't know what happened, they were happy just a while ago. She didn't know what else to do, so she went home, thinking that she'll just come back tomorrow.

Maverick didn't want to hear Queshia's explanation. What he saw was enough he thought. He didn't want to be fooled again. So the next day, he still ignored her - humiliated her even.

Queshia waited outside of Maverick's room for hours until he comes out. Maverick thought she got tired waiting, so he finally went out, only to see her sitting on the floor. Just as Queshia was about to approach him, he turned around and left, leaving Queshia's hand midair that was about to grab his arm.

"Maverick! Hey!" She tried calling him and chasing him, not caring that other people are watching her with pity.

When she finally caught him, she grabbed his arm and forced him to face her, only to be crushed.

"What do you want? Can't you take a hint? We're over you hear me? WE.ARE.OVER. Capiche?" Maverick said with a pokerface as he forcefully removed Queshia's hand that was grabbing his arm.

"B-but...why? Is there something wrong? Did I...do something wrong? We were happy just yesterday..." Queshia reasoned out pitifully. Good thing there were no people around to pry.

"Ask yourself! Go home! And stay away from me! If I ever see you again tomorrow waiting for me after class, I won't care anymore whether you get humiliated infront of people! I won't be coming here at this spot anymore just so no one could see your pity act!" Maverick dismissed her and left.

Queshia started blankly at the spot where Maverick was. She was in daze for a minute, and when she finally snapped out, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She went home after that.

She still kept texting him, saying that they should talk about whatever the problem is. She still got ignored.

That night, he went to his ex's birthday party at her house. He played games, had fun, and went swimming with her and their friends, but good thing that he had classes the next day, because he might've got drunk, so he left early.

The next day, Queshia still went to his class, but she just left a paper bag of food with his full name on it, then left.

"Maverick Ibsen...must be the boyfriend...and must be one of my classmates here" He read and guessed as he put it back and went inside the room, waiting for a guy to come in carrying the paper bag. He wanted to see what kind of guy Queshia liked. And he wanted to see if he's more good looking than himself. And to his surprise, he was apparently admitting that this Maverick guy is really more handsome than him.
