I don’t have a girlfriend and I think I’m damn boring. Like my fellow students, I want to be cool and popular with girls. I am called padaku because of my high scores and bespectacled face. I don’t want this image to persist anymore. I’m tired of being treated as a teacher’s pet. I must be sounding childish here but do let me know what do girls see in a guy and then fall for?
