22: Sharing with Ethan! PART 0.2

(IF ON RADFORDS ROUTE)

"Hey there.."

Ethan greeted me softly with a little smirk on his lips once I approached him. I only smiled in return, uttering a small 'hey' beneath my lips as I took a step foward. Tilting his head to the side, he let out a gentle chuckle. "Is the writing goin' okay?"

"I'm.." I hesitated. "..tryin' my best, I guess."

"Heh.. I'll go ahead and take that." Ethan shrugged with a simple laugh. "Anyway, wanna give me what you wrote for today?"

"Oh—yeah, sure." I nodded, quickly reaching out my arm and handing the paper over to him. Ethan took the paper in his free hand, and once his eyes caught sight of the lines on the paper, they began to dart across. For a few minutes, this went on—with his lips occasionally twitching into a bigger smile, or his brows raising in intrigue.

Once a few minutes had passed, he let out a soft laugh and reached his arm out, handing the paper back over to me. "Nice.. this script is pretty exciting on its own. You sure Radfords not helping you write this or something?"

"Ah—heh.." I laughed awkwardly, taking the paper. "No.. I just—uh.. heh.. I dunno.. maybe being around him more ever since I joined the club has made him influence me a little."

"Heheh.. I get that." Ethan smirked. "I understand why you'd be a little shy since you're still getting to know us all, so you'd probably hang around him more. But hey—maybe once you get to know us all a little better, you can talk to Kevin or Rick more. They're pretty chill guys once you get to know 'em." He then playfully added, "And I wouldn't really mind if you wanted to talk to me more.."

"I—uh.. well, maybe." I replied, feeling my face go warm at the odd way he said it. As always, he only smirked back at me and gently chuckled.

"Sorry.. I didn't mean that in like a weird way or anything." He smiled. Then, reaching out his arm, he handed over his paper for me to take. I had almost forgotten I was supposed to read his now because of the little banter we just had.

"Anyway.. here's this now if ya wanna read it. I'm actually kinda proud of this one, so I hope you like it too." Ethan stated.

"Oh.. well, I'm sure I will. Most of your scripts have been pretty good so far.." I replied with a slight uncertain tone. Ethan only giggled in response as I slowly took the paper. I swear, he was always smirking or laughing like he knew something I didn't. I'm sure he didn't mean to come off that way, but.. still.

Slowly, I took the paper, and began to read.
