We walk into my house. "Welcome to our home, get used to it...since me and you will be spending a lot more time together, considering we've got two weeks to complete this project" I announce, making large gestures.
Chandler stop and glances around the large room. "Chandler!" I yell snapping him out of his trance. "It's not that impressive now, come on" I say gesturing him to follow me up the stairs.
We head into my medium-sized room. My walls are painted grey, I've got a double bed with a white patterned duvet with a mixture of grey and white pillows that at delicately placed at the head of my bed. I've got a large desk at one end of my room that is placed in front of the window. A desk big enough for 3 or 4 people to work at. That's all you need to know about my bedroom really.
I gesture for Chandler to walk in first. "Don't worry, my parents are at work. They won't disturb us for about 2 hours" I say as I shut my door. Chandler quickly whips round go face me. "Wh-why did you do that for?!" He asks, panic written on his face. I notice his heavy breathing.
"Oh, I prefer having the door shut. It's just a weird thing...I don't like leaving it open" I explain. "Oh-um could you leave it open whilst I'm here...sorry" he hesitantly asks. "Oh, um...yeah sure, I guess. If it makes it comfortable for you" I obey his demand and open the door.
"Thank you" he offers a small smile and I give a slight nod back. "Here take a seat" I say gesturing to my desk. As I sits down, I collect two pieces of A3 paper and plenty of coloured pens and pencils.
"Okay, so we have to do a poster each about the other person" I say and he nods. "Well...lets start with you" I say and pick up a beautiful, blue coloured pen. "Your name is Chandler...Riggs. Right?" I ask and he nods, as I beginning writing his name in big, fancy writing.
"Okay, um. Well...easiest thing to do if your trying to get to know someone is play a game of 20 questions. Are you alright with that?
"Uh-yeah sure. But...there's nothing really to say about me. I-um...I'm not that interesting" he states. "Come on, I'm sure your not" I get my notepad ready to write his answers down.
"Okay, number 1. We'll start off easy. What's your favourite colour? I ask. "I-um... It has to be blue I think. He replies. "Okay, any specific shade of blue? I ask, trying to dig deeper. "Umm...the bright, blue shade that people with blue have. Like yours and mine" he says shyly and looks down. A small smile creeps across my face.
"Any hobbies? I ask as my next question. "Umm...no-not really" he says and he bites his lip. "Oh come on! You must have something you enjoy doing!" I insist.
"Okay, umm" he has a think. "I play video games a lot and umm, I love watching movies...horror movies to be exact" he admits. "Awesome, I love horror movie too. See! You just needed to do some digging to find something you love".
"Okay, let's see...what else shall I ask" I say and think to myself. What is your biggest pet peeve?
"Hmm...It has to be when people eat with their mouth open, just hearing people cham on their food...ugh I can't stand it" he laughs a little. "I feel the same way, it's disgusting when people do that" I frown.
I ask a few more questions and we are now up 14 questions asked. "Okay... 6 questions left. Let me think..."
"If you could have any job in the world, what would it be?" I question. "I'd love to be an actor but..." He looks down. "I don't think I have the confidence to do it" he admits. "I'm sure if you'll set you mind to it, you are capable of achieving anything" I reassure him and offer a small smile.
He smiles back. "Are you more of an early bird or night owl?" I ask next. "Defiantly a night owl. I stay up most of the night playing video games" I giggle. "Such a stereotypical boy. I'm completely the opposite".
"Okay, next one...I can't believe I haven't asked this yet. "Have you got any siblings? Nice and easy one for you.
"I have one brother named Grayson. He's younger than me" he answers.
"Okay, cool".
"Are you close with your family?" I ask. He looks down and takes a while to answer. "I...uh. I don't want to talk about it" he mumbles, looking at little saddened, or is it anger. I'm not really sure. "I guess... I'm close with my brother" he finally says. I decide not to dig any further with that question. I can see he doesn't like to talk about it but I am curious"
"Okay. Let's see...umm, what about what are the top 3 qualities you look for in a friend"
Okay, umm. Well...they defiantly have to be a good listener, I can't deal with people who ignore me or never listen or pay attention to what I have to say. A sense of humour has to be there too, I like someone who I can joke around with. Aaand the last thing would be that they have to be trustworthy, I need to know that if I tell them something, I can trust them to keep it secret unless I tell them otherwise. Also, they need to be loyal and honest" he explains.
"Chandler, I said pick 3 qualities" I giggle. "Well...you can't just pick 5. A good friend needs to have a lot of important qualities" we both laugh together. "Okay, fine. I'll give you 5. Good choices by the way"
"Okay...final question. If you had to pick 3 words to describe yourself, what would they be?" I ask my last question.
"Okay, hmm. I think I'd say honest, quiet and...stubborn. Yeah, I can defiantly be a little stubborn a lot of the time" he answers. "Haha, okay a mixture of things there. Interesting"
'Well...that's us all done on for you answering questions. Sorry for keeping you for-" I check the time on my phone. "Shit! It's 7:30pm. Oh my god I didn't realise the time. I'm guessing my parents got a bit of extra work. I'm sorry for making you sit with me for 2 and a half hours" I apologise.
I honestly feel so bad.
"It's okay. It actually wasn't too bad. I didn't even realise that was the time" he says politely.
"Well...anyway you better go" I say in the nicest way possible as I lead him downstairs.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Chandler. Maybe we'll finish off the project on Friday" I say as he leaves.
"Yeah, okay sure" he calls back, waving.
Earlier Chandler couldn't get away quick enough. At the beginning of the questions he was very shy and stuttering a little bit by the end of it he actually became very talkative. That's interesting.
A/N
I'm sorry if this dragged on a little but at least you got to know more about my version of Chandler. I hope you enjoyed this chapter anyway. Let me know what you think.
