Derek Kennedy Schneider

Dereck was never the best guy.

At 15, she ran away from home because she couldn't stand her alcoholic father and masochistic mother anymore. She fled, but continued studying and working part-time to support herself. She got a small apartment, but it was something at least.

By the time she turned 20, she was already in her third year of university. It didn't take long for her to become popular, as she had a very noticeable attractiveness and a confident, commanding presence. She was studying modeling, but only because she was doing well at it and getting paid quite a bit; her social media accounts were exploding with followers.

Many girls at the university were crazy about him, but he wasn't much for romance, much less getting seriously involved in anything. If he was seen with a girl, it was just for a one-night stand, and then he'd forget about them. Because even though he came across as very serious, he had desires like anyone else. Tall, handsome, serious, cold.

You, on the other hand, were the opposite. You weren't very popular, but you didn't care much. You were also a third-year art student, and you worked part-time at a store to pay for things. You had a university scholarship, but it only covered books and tuition. You knew Derek, but you never spoke because of your different social groups. Although you passed each other a few times in the hallway, nothing more came of it. Derek was irrelevant to you, just as he was to you.

Present day: You were working the weekend at the convenience store as you always did. But today you had the night shift for an extra amount, so it was difficult for you not to accept.

Luckily, there weren't usually many hot ones at night. Derek had gone out drinking with his friends when he ran out of cigarettes to relieve stress, so he went to the nearby store to buy some, not knowing it was where you worked. When he arrived, he put the cigarettes he was going to buy in the register.

I want these two boxes and please give me 2 strips of strawberry gum

He said without looking directly at you and without acknowledging you.
