“Why did his face bother her so much? Just seeing him walk in the room made her want to pick a fight and double down. Wasn’t there some tweed-wearing private school he could attend and leave her to her proletariat life in peace?
She scanned the room and saw that he had yet to arrive. But as she sipped her travel mug of coffee to wake up, her nemesis strode in.
Jonathan Harker’s shaggy light brown hair brushed the top rims of his wire-framed glasses. He had a dimple in his right cheek that deepened when he concentrated. He was generally considered easygoing and likable, but when he had a goal, he didn’t let anything get in his way. Mina liked getting in his way, just as an exercise against his superiority complex.”

“One: He thinks he’s so spectacular. Seriously, he mansplains everything and thinks he’s so amazing, so even if I thought he was a little amazing— which I don’t— there’s no room for anyone else to think he’s amazing because he’s too full of himself.
“Two: Why is his hair always in his eyes?” Mina rolled her eyes.
“Three: He has all the teachers wrapped around his finger. I saw the student council advisor literally swoon over his speech last week. Swoon. I mean, pull yourself together, ma’am, you are a grown-up.
“Four: He’s all ‘Oooh, I’m gonna be a lawyer.’ Oh, okay— well, lawyers are shady, and therefore you are shady, Jonathan. I asked him why he wanted to defend criminals, and he said he was interested in estate law like his parents, and then I lost interest because he is boring.
“Five: He is boring.”
“You don’t seem that bored,” Jackie cut in, looping a piece of web around the edge of a bush.
Mina made a mock-affronted face. “Rude.”
Jackie laughed and motioned for Mina to continue.
“Six: Why does he need everyone to like him? Get over yourself, Jonathan, because I don’t like you.
“Seven: Hello? Can we say TOO INQUISITIVE? He asks too many questions. All up in my business.
“Eight: He never remembers my name. I know he’s a big junior and I’m a lowly sophomore, but we are on student council together, and it’s not that hard. I’ll make you remember my name, Jonathan. My name will be infamous!” Mina thrust her arms toward the sky, looming over Jackie and trailing webs all over them.
“Nine: I saw him steal a fry off his friend’s plate at lunch. That’s unforgivable. What a mooch.
“Ten: He makes me forget what I’m saying. I never forget what I’m saying. I’m great at linear thought— in fact, I’m known for it. Clearly this is one hundred percent his fault.”
― Melanie Dale, Girl of Lore
