"I'm just glad you and her actually talked to me first…if you haven't noticed already, I'm super shy…to shy for my own good." She laughed a little while looking over at Jared.

Jared chuckled softly. "Yeah, I noticed." He replied with a soft smile, raking a hand through his hair.

"Do you like smoothies? There's a smoothie place on the way to the library. I usually go and get one when I go to the library." The school campus was quite large, so just then they left campus. She turned right onto the sidewalk.

Jared shrugged. "Not the biggest fan of smoothies, but okay." He said with a small smile.

"Oh we don't have to go… I was just giving a suggestion." She said shyly, not wanting to make Jared do something he didn't want to do.

"No, it's fine." Jared said with a small smile.

"A-are you sure?" She asked quietly as she pushed a button on the stoplight so they could cross the road.

He nodded. "Of course."

She smiled. "Okay." The light turn red for the traffic and she started walking across the street.

He walked beside her. "Hey, maybe you can pick out a smoothie for me and I'll try it." He suggested with a small smile.

She smiled back very largely. "Hmm, okay! I have a couple questions pertaining to that. First, what are you favorite types of fruit? And second, do you like super sweet stuff or less sweet?" She seemed to be a little more excited then she should be, after all it's only smoothies.

"Fruit…uhm…are strawberries a fruit? And…" He shrugged. "Less sweet? Although I don't really have a preference."

"They sure are! I love strawberries, but my favorite is any type of citrus. Ironic, right?" They got back onto the sidewalk and walked straight. "Okay, we are almost there!"

Jared chuckled softly. "Isn't it cannibalism?" He joked. "For you to eat citrus?"

Tangerine burst out laughing. She put her arm on Jared's shoulder and leaned a bit to steady herself so she wouldn't fall. She couldn't stop laughing for at least 3 minutes. "That, was amazing!" She thought about the joke and started laughing again leaning over a bit.

Jared smiled slightly. "Thanks?" He said slowly.

"I mean I love jokes and puns so I really enjoyed that." She said with a smile. They turned around one more corner and there was the smoothie place. "Okay, here we are!"

Jared nodded. "Oh, alright. Pick something out for me? I'll pay for them both." He said, looking at her.

Tangerine looked over at him surprised "Wait what? You don't have to pay!"

He looked at her. "My parents make more money in a month than they can usually spend in a year. So yes, i will pay." He blinked. "I mean, i don't know your family's, er, income, but…just let me pay!" He finished, slightly flustered.

Tangerine nodded slightly. "Okay." She opened the door and held it open for Jared.

Jared went inside, and grabbed the door for her.

"Thanks." She went up to the counter and looked over the smoothie menu. She took multiple deep breaths before she opened her mouth to order, but she closed it right after. After a few more breaths she tried again. "… H-hi… can I h-have a… um… medium grapefruit… twist and a medium uh… berry blast?"
