Not far from where Aria and the stranger stood, three boys were chatting nearby. "Hey, do you think Luck will win her over?" one of them asked.
"Who knows?" another boy replied. "I don't know what got into him since we saw the girl earlier. He said he must ask her out. Let's see what the result will be."
Luck, the stranger, turned his attention back to Aria. "Can I have your number?" he asked.
"No, sorry," Aria replied bluntly.
"Why?" Luck pressed, not backing down.
Aria took two steps away from him, but Luck followed, standing right in front of her again.
"Why?" he asked again, as Aria remained silent, looking away.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Luck asked, his tone slightly aggressive.
"Yes, and since you've already guessed, it's only fair you should leave now," Aria said with a stiff smile.
