Coolest Girl in Town

Elliot had a peculiar interest. Instead of beauties, he preferred to look at hot men. Everyone else had gravure idol posters pasted on their bedroom walls, but Elliot had Jack’s posters filling up his wall instead. Their friends knew that, and for some time, they thought Elliot and Sheldon were in a relationship.

Jack came up to them. Before he could even speak, Elliot was already blushing.

Elise teased, “Oh my, Elliot. You swing that way?”

“No!” Elliot defended himself clumsily and loudly. “Don’t you guys know that Jack’s fanboys outnumber his fangirls?”

“You’re the only one who thinks that way,” Sheldon mocked. “I’ve never seen guys fanboying over a guy idol.”

“Hey, I am a fan of an idol guy!” Elliot snapped back by habit, then he realized Jack was around, and he blushed. He stared at the ground and explained quietly, “I like Jack because of his acting skills and charisma. It’s just admiration. I think he’s a really hardworking man and has a sense of justice. That’s all.”

The sudden ‘confession’ made things awkward. Jack looked at everyone quickly, and a while of silence later, he broke the silence. “Thank you for your admiration. I’ll keep doing my best at work.”

“Do your best!” Elliot nodded, fanboying again. “You can do it!”

“Thank you,” Jack answered calmly and handed the cake box to Elise. He then shifted the topic. “Here’s your dessert for the day.”

“Why are you giving it to me? Winona’s not coming today. Nobody’s eating it,” Elise said.

“I see.” Jack looked down, and for some reason, he felt a little bit empty inside. He was starting to get used to seeing that girl eating the things he bought, and it was an everyday ritual.

Elliot noticed the awkwardness, so he took the cake box from him. “I’ll eat it. I like desserts, Jack.”

“As long as the food is not wasted,” Jack said calmly. “Ronald’s outside. I have work to do, so see you.”

“Okay, Jack! See you!” Elliot, in true fanboy style, waved at him.

Sheldon shook his head and sighed. “I’m straight, Elliot. You’d better stay away from me.”

Elliot glanced at him. He put his cake down and jumped onto Sheldon. “I’m going to stick to you. If I can’t find a girlfriend, you aren’t going to find one either!”

“F*ck! Get off me!”
