His eyes stray to hers, checking for ingenuity in the question. "Girlfriend? I don't have one," he bluntly announces. "Do you think I'd give you flowers and be completely absorbed by your beauty and personality if I did?" The question slips out of his unguarded self, the first thought that surfaced to mind. Maverick's cheeks redden a bit but he lets the question hang in the air.
He watches her fidget
cute
"oh um, no this is my first time here… "
He says nervously not knowing what else to say.
CC started a little bit by his words.
"for a big flirt like you? I'm surprised."
Pleasantly surprised to say the least.
"have you ever had one?"
She's determined to get to know this boy…. Staring off with the basics
"Of course," he scoffs, faking offense. "I've had two - the first was with a fiery girl who insulted me every turn, yet I never stood up for myself. The second was better," Maverick takes a moment to pointedly gaze at CC, "but just not right. We mutually agreed to break it off. I guess he and I just never made a connection."
"oh… I'm sorry that sucks… "
She fixes her hair while in the ground she laughs a little…
"how you've never stood up for yourself?"
"Like I said, I was terrified of confrontation and not at all what my dad wanted me to be." Maverick gulps, adjusting a strand of CC's hair in the sunlight. "She took advantage of that."
"aw how sad"
She unconsciously bit her lip mischievously and smirks
time to test things out… Have some fun.
"ugh my boyfriends a mess…"
She looks over at him holding in a smile, and sits up looking at the pond
"he's nice.. Yet protective… It can be annoying sometimes… "
"Oh, me too," Beatriz tells him, smiling a bit awkwardly. You're messing everything up, what are you doing? She says, forcing herself not to roll her eyes at her own awkwardness.
Ryuu smiles at her
"oh? Do you like it here?"
why am I doing this…. Well…. How am I doing this.
"It's definitely been an interesting experience," she says, shrugging. "Everywhere just sort of blends together after a while."
"yeah I guess that's what happens"
He says to her a little more calmly now. He looks around at her friend. Who is somehow still at the food line.
"so um… She sure likes her food doesn't she?"
Beatriz rolled her eyes. "Lure's weird. And she ships everything," she says apologetically.
Ryuu realizes what she said
"ships everything?"
He says a little confused
Beatriz starts, realizing what she's said. "Oh - Um, nevermind. That was random," she nervously laughs.
Ryuu knew exactly what shipping was, he's a major geek, he might not look it but he is. He decided to ignore it though. He looks around at the clock.
"30 minutes until class starts"
"Oh, wonderful," she says sarcastically. "I get to see that… lovely girl in first period."
"lovely girl? Who's that?"
He said with a sweet smile
"I can't remember her name, she wasn't worth remembering," Beatriz said, shrugging.
CC looks at the boy
was that to much….. I thought teasing a little would be fun but…. Did I take it to far?
She self consciously bites her lip, worried that she took is to far
Ryuu looked her in the eyes.
"oh okay…. So um… What's your favorite class?"
I wonder who it was… I'm not gonna pry though
Beatriz smiles. "I, um… I really like chemistry," she says, embarrassedly. "I - um, I used to want to be a chemist when I was a kid."
"aw that's cool!"
He shuffles his feet awkwardly while he looks around.
"so um….oh did you hear about what this school does in the summer?"
He asks her desperately trying to keep the conversation going.
Beatriz shook her head in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"oh um I- well…. in the summer they pick random students, like 10 of them I think, the teachers favorites and they take them on a little vacation for the whole summer. Its an interesting way to do things but I like it. And its a conversation starter….."
People started leaving the cafeteria, he looks over at the girls friend still with the food.
theyre interesting
"Oh, that's really cool!" Beatriz said happily. "Lure has taken way too long, aren't we supposed to go to class or something?" She said awkwardly, fidgeting with her sleeve.
she technically ignored what I was saying…..
"oh um yeah do you want to head to class right now?"
He gets up and looks down at her
