He ran a hand through his dark hair, he could never focus in class. He was preparing himself to be bored. Darren looked over to Paige and smiled a little as a hello.

Paige smiled shyly and put away her book as class began.

Darren didn’t notice class starting, he never did. He leaned over to Paige, “Whatcha reading?”

"Oh, uh, Stargirl. Jerry Spinelli," she replied, feeling the gazes of all the jocks staring at them. One whistled sharply, causing a round of laughter.

Darren didn’t seem to be affected by the other kids, he knew that wouldn’t ruin his quarterback reputation. He nodded pretending like he had heard of the book despite the fact that he didn’t read much. “Sweet, is it good?”

"Yes, it's very good," Paige responded, almost dreamily. She blinked and caught herself. "Yes."

He nodded and smiled, not really knowing how to continue the conversation. “You’re Paige right?”

"Yes," Paige smiled, brushing a piece of hair away from her ear. The conversation was dying. No no no! Wait, why was she suddenly so interested in talking to Darren?

“I’m Darren,” he laughed a little, “Something tells me you knew that,”

"How can I not?" Paige realized what she'd said. Idiot. She blushed heavily.

Darren laughed a little, "I guess most people do,"

"You're amazing," Paige gushed. SHUT UP! she mentally screamed at herself. She bit her lip, slightly embarrassed.

Darren blushed, "An amazing person, or an amazing quarterback?" He laughed at the flattery.

"Um… I don't really know you as a person yet." WHY DID YOU SAY YET?!

"Yet, well Paige that makes me hopeful for the future," He shook his head and winked.

Paige smiled shyly. She brushed a piece of hair behind her ear several times. "Me too," she agreed, her voice clear. WHAT- JUST STOP TALKING!!!!

"So, did you sign up? For the musical I mean,"

"Oh… yeah. I did. But I have no idea what it's about or the roles or anything. I'm not even a very good singer," Paige admitted.

"Don't tell anyone I signed up okay?" He looked embarrassed about it.

"Okay," Paige glanced for a brief second at the other football players. "So," she said, turning her gaze softly back to Darren, "do you like musicals?"

He hesitated, "Yeah, I kinda have an obsession." he admitted.

"You probably don't like the only musical I know," Paige blushed a little. (NOT TRUE! I KNOW AND LOVE SEVERAL!!!!)
