It took a moment for Ridley to register what she meant, only for him to facepalm at the fact that he had forgotten about it. "Yeah, uh, let's see... I was going to talk about me, wasn't I?" He found it difficult to make eye contact with his date. After placing his hands into his pockets, h...

Truth be told, Ridley disliked dancing, and dances in general. But he figured that if he had to conform to at least one high school tradition, then it would have to be prom. He did not expect to have someone ask him out so close to the date, so everything turned out perfectly. They got there fine an...

To be honest, Ridley was a little surprised at the squeeze that she gave his hand. It only confirmed that she really did want some intimacy from him after all. He pretended to ignore it and said, "I think that the main clothing stores are on the top floor. You wanna go up there or take our chan...

He looked back at her for a moment before saying, "Eh, you're getting better." They continued down the crowded hallway of the mall towards one of the clothing stores. For a little while, there were so many people that Ridley wasn't able to keep track of where Raine was. During that moment,...

He laughed a little and said, "That was pretty cheesy comment, but I'll take it." He took another bite of his cookie, which was almost gone by that point. "I think that you need to loosen up a little bit. Y'know, joke around a little, be sarcastic... It's how I got over my own shyness...

As Raine spoke, Ridley took the chance to take another bite of his cookie. He didn't expect her to want to go shopping for clothes. He didn't need anything as far as clothing went, but it wasn't like he had anywhere better to go. "Alright, I can help if you want." He said. Ridley knew that...

By the time Raine came to the table he had chosen, Ridley had already taken a bite of his cookie. His delicious peanut butter cookie. At first, he wasn't able to understand what Raine had said to him due to the level of noise in the food court, but once it clicked, he said, "I just kinda wanna ...

In the face of so many other pastries, Ridley could care less about vanilla. The only thing on his mind was getting his hands on one of those delicious peanut butter cookies and possibly a water. "What'll you have?" One of the teenagers at the cashier asked. "Gimme a minute," Rid...

Once he was finished taking in the air conditioned interior, Ridley said, "Yeah, I guess that they could be fun, but the choices are usually so obvious that you can just guide yourself to a particular result for the test to churn out. But enough of that." He was a little surprised that Rai...

The brush against his hand confirmed his suspicions, to say the least. As if her asking me out at all didn't. He thought to himself. "I check e-mail and the like, too, but I go on dozens of sites daily. If anything, I think that I'm addicted to, let's see. One: The internet. Two: Video games. A...

Ridley kind of wanted to hold her hand, but just a few days ago, he had been her good friend, so it was pretty awkward to him no matter what he did. Once he thought about it, however, it might not have been awkward at all from Raine's end. She was the one who asked him out, so she might have been ho...

He chuckled to himself and said, "It's fine. I got just as enthusiastic, didn't I?" He unbuckled himself as well and hopped out of the car. He didn't bother to lock the doors, and walked up to meet Raine. Without much of a word, he began walking towards the entrance to the mall with her. &...

He twitched his shoulder a little bit at the feeling of her hand, but relaxed after a second or two. "I guess that their Starbucks serves coffee and general breakfast foods all day, right?" Cookies and other pastries weren't that bad of a lunch. The mall wasn't very far, so they were alrea...

Ridley could only smile at how damn cute she was being. "It's no problem. And thanks." Once she asked him about where they should eat, he paused to think about it for a moment. "I don't know. Do you have anything in mind?" He wanted a corn dog from Hotdog on a Stick at the moment...

Ridley was already so used to the fuzz that he hardly ever noticed it anymore. "Yeah, I guess that it's comfortable." More often than not, however, a fold in the top layer of the seat would form and he would have to sit off center so as not to have the fold dig into his ass. At the comment...
