New Narrator (4)

I was sitting on a bench by the music rooms when I saw Scott walk past. Boy did he look different! Now I always liked his smartly pressed shirt and chinos look, but I have to admit that this new look was rather good, if a little conformative. Whatever my feelings on the matter, however, were obviously of little concern in comparison to the feelings of Jen!
Before we go any further into this story, I should probably introduce myself, I am your new narrator, (although I may be replaced depending on how friendly our author needs me to be with Scott, cos I’ll be honest here, I don’t really know the guy!) my name, as far as you are concerned is random girl. I guess that’s all you really need to know. So, on we go, deeper into the conundrum that is Scott Henderson, and his fetish for the wrong girl…..

I had seen the obsession that Scott held for Jen grow over the past three and a half years, ever since he first saw her on the first day of first year. He had thought she was an angel, a goddess, you know that kinda mushy love struck pre-adolescent idolisation that goes in teen boys heads. Anyway, he was crazy bout her, only she never knew, not at any rate till bout a fortnight ago.
I was in the general vicinity when he asked her out on that ill-fated date. I could have cried for him, I really could! He made such a fool of himself, it was blatantly obvious that she didn’t really wanna go out with him, she didn’t even know his name for Pete’s sakes! Anyway, they went out, he was humiliated, blahdy blahdy blah, you know the rest.

The strange thing is, that a week after he came in, transformed, he totally toned down that look, and turned up his old one, keeping the hair and the trousers, but going back to nicer, pressed shirts, and posher shoes! The new combined look really did wonders for him, cos he looked different to everyone else, but in a really good way. Jen actually began to look twice at my old friend Scott! He had something going for him, that "X-factor" that makes people look twice. He was still wasting his time on Jen though. Stupid girl didn’t know what she was missing out on.
