An Extra’s POV

"I was only ever interested in one, but after finding out he was a jerk, I cut all ties with him."

Alicia went on to theorize that it was perhaps due to the senior's bruised ego that he went on to spread rumors about her.

Thankfully, Alicia's reputation was strong enough for people to simply interpret it as her simply dating a lot of seniors.

Nothing more, nothing less.

"Oh, wow. I never expected it to be like that…" Rey's voice trailed as he looked at Alicia, who was simply shrugging casually.

"A lot of things aren't as they appear. If we listen to everyone's opinions and don't take time to form our own, we'll just end up drowning in misinformation."

Rey felt like those were wise words that Alicia just said, but he didn't know how to phrase it without sounding cringe.

"That sounds like a smart thing to say." He finally settled on the most neutral way to put it.

"I know, right?"

Alicia went on to flail her long hair as she used her hand to push it backward.

She did this as she chuckled jokingly, trying to act like a wise diva.

"Pfft!"

"Hahahaha!"

Before the two of them realized it, they were both laughing.

"Nice one… haha!"

"Thank you, good sir." Alicia made a mock bow, and that only served to crack Rey up even more.

This girl was seriously funny.

'Damn! I never would have thought Alicia would have this side to her!'

Rey thanked his lucky stars that he actually decided to start the conversation.

'So this is what I've been missing out on!'

As they both laughed even more, Alicia suddenly raised a topic that he wasn't expecting.

"Have you ever dated anyone, Rey? Or do you have someone you like?"

The moment Rey heard this, his heart nearly stopped.
