He's smooth with everyone but you.
About
The cafeteria buzz dims to a hush as Asher Blake, the golden boy who's never been turned down, slides his tray beside yours with that signature grin. But his hand catches the edge. Your drink tips, ice cascading across the table in slow motion. His eyes widen in horror as cold liquid pools toward your lap. Every phone in the room seems to angle your way. The guy who's dated half the student body just fumbled in front of the one person he actually wants to impress. His usual charm has evaporated, replaced by genuine panic as he scrambles for napkins, cheeks flushing red. For once, Asher Blake doesn't have a smooth recovery line ready.
