Been Attracted Thunderously

At the open hall, sitting and talking actively with his two friends, one of whom was Chhay and the other one Rong, Vuth was looking at a girl, with curly strawberry blonde hair and enticing bright yellow eyes, who was walking with her friends, seemingly looking for a space to have a seat. "WOW! Look at that..," excitedly said Vuth, pointing from a distance right at her.  Completely mesmerized by a book, The Pearl, which he had just touched once per day in a week, Chhay had got no ideas what Vuth was amazed at. "That? What?" he said. "Dammit! You have good eye sight, Dude," Rong responded immediately. "She studied with me and Chhay last year, the year of happiness and sadness." Chhay, pausing reading the book for a while, replied, "Only to him. I don't think I just knew her in last year's class. It'd been since high school." Vuth was quite childish if everyone observed how he was always reacting over-excitedly to things that he saw and that interested him. Probably, never before had he seen such a charming girl walking on campus. She was not only beautiful, but also so attention-grabbing that it took his complete soul away from his body. 

That girl, Rong described, had been known almost to everyone on campus of the institute. She was famous for her talents for singing, knowledge of English, personality of a Khmer girl and the histories of great academic achievements. In high school, she was awarded three-year in a row the most outstanding student in grade 10, 11 and 12, respectively. "You are interested in her, you jackass?" dropping his book, Chhay asked ironically. Vuth did say nothing back, but was smiling, fixing his eyes on her constantly. "Hey! Dude, what is her name," curiously asking Vuth. "Hmm...haha...Solinna," the nastiest girl I've ever known," laughed out loud Chhay. Chhay seemed to have known the intention of Vuth's very distinctly. This was not Vuth's normal behavior he had known to ask such a girl's name like this.

(Guess what will happen next... What will Vuth ask for more from Chhay and Rong about Solinna?)
