Ashton was actually blushing a bit. "You know Viola Guthlac?"
"Uh, sure" said Matthew. Viola Guthlac was a skinny black girl with glasses, a straight-A student who took a lot of math courses and was known as a nerd--the kind of girl who wore t-shirts featuring obscure video-game characters from the 90s. "Viola Guthlac is your ideal girl?"
"She is so hot!"
"So what do you need me for? Can't you just date Viola Guthlac?"
"I tried. But her parents are really down on her dating anybody, particularly a white guy. She plans to concentrate on schoolwork and only start dating in college. And once she makes up her mind, that's it."
"So what you're into is black nerd girls with glasses?" said Matt, not quite believing it.
Ashton shrugged. "The glasses are optional, but yeah."
