So yesterday.

Yes?

When I had to run, sort of suddenly...

Go on, Klair.

It was because my roommate was making a fuss.

Are we playing a game? You can say this whole story without all the dramatic pauses.

Haha, I guess so. She was making a fuss because she got a date, she literally tackled me.

You did sound out of breath when you said you had to go.

Well it turns out, her date is with Reed. Your schools top dog.

Oh, neat. I guess.

I know, because I heard from Chris again.

Wait, he's still phoning you.

Don't worry, we mostly gossip about you.

About me?

You are bashful, and apparently very hot. He also told me about your habit of chewing on the back of your pens.

God, that was a horrible idea. Why did I think you two talking was a good plan?

Anyways, my roommate and Reed and going out on a date. So now I know which school you go to.

I... Didn't Chris say?

We talk about you, he does not encourage me to stalk you.

Right.

Anyways, would you be oppose to me showing up at lunch and taking you out?

Oh, um, what? But I-

You are the guy and I am the girl but since your every spare moment is spent driving around you mom these days, I thought of this. Is it a bad idea?

Not bad, unexpected maybe.

Oh... So are you ok with it? Or no? Should we just wait until your day off?

No! I want to. I'm just surprised that this is the first thing you mention. Not about how annoyingly posh my school is.

Haha, that was going to be my next topic once I got an answer out of you.

Well, yes. I will go out for lunch with you. Provided you come to the library to get me.

Uh, why?

I... I have a reason ok? A good one. I promise.

Well, alright then. As long as you promise.

I do. If you have to find it I can ask Chris to guide you, since apparently you get along so well.

No need, I'll ask a secretary.

Ok, and tell me when. So I can warn them, posh school and all, they need forewarning.

Noted.

Am I making this harder? I'm sorry.

No it's fine, honestly it's kind of funny.

Good... I mean not that you find it funny... But you know?

Are you frazzled Vicky?

A bit. I'm excited. All over again. This time even more.

... Thanks.

What?

Nothing, your just really sweet. I can't wait to properly meet you.

I can't wait to meet you either.
