The thing about Chuck is, he doesn't quit. He is the most determined little boy in the whole glade. Ever since I came up in the box, he has been hitting on me. I've tried to let him down easy, but he doesn't take no for an answer.
"Hey! Jadey ma Ladey!" Uh-oh. He always has weird pick up lines like those. When I first told him my name, he did that whole 'Anna banana fofana' thing. I roll my eyes before turning with a smile.
"Hey Chuck!" I respond half heartedly. He's sweet, but a little young to be hitting on me.
"So, I was thinking.." He paused, pointing at me with both index fingers, thumbs in the air, making a clicking noise with his mouth. This can't be good. "I would like to take you on a proper date." He lets his hands fall to his sides and slightly rubs them on his pants. I can tell he's nervous, and I can appreciate that.
"Don't you think I'm a little old for you?" I see the smile on his face grow wider. A couple Gladers, who I didn't know were listening. Started to chuckle at my attempt to reject Chuck. I shot them a glare and turned back to the young boy.
"I like that about you!" He went to grab my hand but I took a step back. The smile that was once on his face, slowly faded away.
"It's just, you should date a young girl your own age." He looked down and shook his head. He is making me feel so guilty.
"Do you see any around?" He sighs. His sarcastic tone surprised me a bit.
"Well....I mean.....maybe, um.." A look of hope spread across his face. "Maybe when your older?"" His face lit up and he jumped up and down, pumping his fists in the air.
"That's not a no!" He started doing a dance in a circle.
"It wasn't a yes either." I reminded him. "Calm down, people are staring." I didn't care so much for me, but the other Gladers could use this against him for a long time.
"I'll wait for you Jade! How could I not?! You're beautiful and talented. The total package!" He hasn't stopped dancing.
"Ok, ok." I said, turning back to what I was working on. I feel arms wrap around my waist and turn to see Chuck squeezing the life out of me. I pat his back awkwardly before he releases. He turns and runs in the opposite direction.
"I've got a date with Jade! I've got a date with Jade!" He screamed while running. Newt heard and turned to me with a questioning look, a thumb pointing at Chuck. I let out a small laugh and shrugged. I don't always know what goes on in Chuck's mind, and I don't think I ever will.
