So when the new lad, Alex, arrived at my school part-way through the year, it was a pretty interesting day. All of a sudden there’s +1 to the ‘popular guys’ category, and there was obviously a lot of interest in who this boy was. He was that strong mixture of cute / hot, but as I found out on jokingly calling him cute one day, some guys don’t consider it a compliment haha. Slim but toned from playing football (soccer) quite often, floppy brown hair, brown eyes, good smile that you could just tell was naturally shaped into a cheeky one.
He had a lot of banter and confidence behind him, sometimes straying a bit to arrogance but he managed to hold it up well. He made his way up the social ladder surprisingly quickly, which I guess may be pretty difficult if you arrive somewhere new where there are already established friendship groups, but his attitude obviously helped.
I found out pretty quickly that he seemed to have an eye on me, with someone having mentioned to me that he’d been basically asking “Who’s that girl with the bunda” which I guess is a compliment haha. He also got my snap pretty quickly and was messaging me on and off.
