"Well, she sure came anyway, telling me what an asshole I am and how I'm hurting everyone and..." Frustrated, he did thump his head back into the tree, though without damaging it this time, thankfully.

She sighed.

"...I didn't want her to do that. It's... it's not like we were really dating, I mean."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 3:00 pm

"I know!" Alex said, almost in desperate agreement. "And I... just don't know how I keep screwing it all up, I just do it, and I just... God, I just don't know what to do."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 3:05 pm

"Well... let me know when you figure it out," she sighed.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 3:15 pm

She's about to walk away.
WE were about to walk away.
Now she is.
Because we're screwed up.
Pretty much.
Nothing we can do about that.
Might as well j-
"Oh screw it," Alex muttered. "If I'm going to mess everything up I might as well enjoy it." He looked up at Brigid, taking a deep breath and trying to make his brain shut off. "So," he said, "Where were you walking to?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 3:21 pm

"Well I... was mostly trying to get your attention," she admitted, a flush coming to her face.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 3:23 pm

He swallowed, the admission making him look her over again and... yeah. "Well, you... did a good job," he admitted.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 3:25 pm

"Kind of... figured there were better ways to beat Haley than with my forehead."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 3:31 pm

"And... you were right," he said, remembering belatedly to snap his eyes back up to her face. "Look, I... okay, there's nothing I can say about it that isn't going to sound like some lame cop-out, and I know that. So... I'm sorry. I don't k-" he broke off, shaking his head. "No. Just leaving it at 'I'm sorry.'"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 3:32 pm

"...well, I'm sorry too. The last thing I wanted is you to think I'm some kind of violent freak."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 3:43 pm

"Nah, I don't think that, I just... well, didn't expect all this mess to happen, so..." he sighed, shaking his head. "Yeah, this is a good day for a walk," he said, trying to shove all the bullshit aside. "If you still want to at least."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 4:23 pm

She smiled faintly.

"I think I do."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 4:26 pm

"So," he said, chuckling a little as they started off, "Totally easier here than at home, huh."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 4:27 pm

"Depends on what you're talking about."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 4:32 pm

"People. Life. Drama. Everything." He smirked a little. "I'm not usually a mess like that, after all..."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 4:40 pm

"See, I figured if I chased you around with a spear, you might resent that a bit."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 5:24 pm

"Are we trying to bring up a bunch of 'stabbing' innuendo again?" he teased nervously.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 5:28 pm

"It was that, or go with the obvious 'clubbing you over the head' joke."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 5:55 pm

"I thought it was supposed to be the cave man who did the clubbing over the head," he said with a grin.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 6:10 pm

"The life of a loincloth-clad barbarian is surprisingly egalitarian."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 6:26 pm

"So, um, I know that I'm really late asking this, but... did you maybe want to go into town to dinner? And... um, well, we're probably both pretty done with movies after the summer, I guess, but..." Shit, why is this so hard?

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 6:32 pm

"Okay, I'm just gonna cut you off with... yes." She smiled. "I'd like to."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 7:23 pm

Alex grinned like an idiot for a moment. "Ohhhh, good," he sighed. He winced, then glanced at her. "Tomorrow is good, right? I mean..." How did you politely confirm with the girl you wanted to date that she hadn't been confined to campus for headbutting a girl you'd been caught making out with?

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 7:39 pm

"Yeah, I think tomorrow should be just fine..."

But would it be a letdown if I dressed normal for that? Yeah, it probably would.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 7:57 pm

"Oh, good," he said, a little relieved. "So... um... I can find a place to eat no problem, but... what would you want to go do after?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 8:03 pm

"I kind of... don't know the town that well," she admitted.

...or dating in general.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 8:06 pm

"Want to just see what we can find? Because, um, I don't really know the town either," he admitted. "We could just eat and then see what we find? Either way, hanging out in town should be fun, right?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 8:16 pm

"Yeah, that sounds like a decent enough plan."
