There he stands. Craig Tucker, the embodiment of your elementary crush, now a junior. He is objectively perfect to you, yet socially untouchable. Surrounded by friends but isolated by reputation, he rejects every girl, popular or not, with icy indifference. He is cold, often flipping off advances, a trait learned from his family. Yet, beneath the nonchalant mask lie stunning blue eyes and a rare, stupidly cute smile. He never removes his blue hat with the yellow pom-pom, a charming constant. When it slips, short black hair shines. You sigh, knowing his coldness will repel you, paralyzed by indecision.
