Rook blushed when she mentioned love stories and romance. He had written quite a bit of those himself. Though he would have rather died than ever showed them to anyone.
"Yeah," he said, looking down. "Romance is... always good." He tried to think. He took this request for help extremely seriously.
[[lol Rook is having a creative block mainly because I have one, haha]]

[Oh me too. lol They might just have to wind up talking aimlessly. What a pity. >;P]
"That it is." Her smile softened.
As Rook sat contemplating, Arielle studied him closely. She was extremely observant and liked to memorize every inch of her friends' faces. It was weird, but their features often inspired many of best paintings. She had a feeling Rook would wind up in her next piece of art.
"Rooker..." She paused for a moment, unsure of how to put her thoughts into words. "Do you want to get out of her? This place is stifling."

Rook gulped a few times very quickly. Out of here? With her? What did that mean? Was she asking him out?
It took him a moment to realise that he had dropped his jaw. He recollected it as quickly as he could, and felt his ears very, very hot. He hoped they weren't red as well.
"Oh... uh... eh..."
No, he told himself, that is not a cohesive answer. He tried again.
"Uhh sure." Only his mother was expecting him home soon. But how could he say that? "Where do you want to go?"
Could he suggest his home? What would his mother say? She had always warned him of girls.

Ah, such a cutie indeed. Rooker's first response didn't surprise her. She had gotten the point that he was shy.
"Anywhere... The park, a diner, my place, your place..." She shrugged. "It's up to you."

"Ummm...." Rook thought it over for a few times. Then he decided his mother would have a heart attack if he brought home a girl - or told her that he'd been at a girl's place. "Maybe some cafe or something."
He tried to think if he had enough money. Well, he could always use the credit card his father had got for him for emergencies.

Arielle smiled a little and nodded in agreement. His answer didn't surprise her, in fact, it relieved her. At least she knew he wasn't the "shy guy" that is actually a big whore.
With a mental smile at that thought, Arielle gently recollected her belongings and stood up while pushing her chair in. She adjusted her hat and scarf as she waited for Rooker to stand.

Rook was slightly surprised for her quick compliance to his suggestion. He only realised he should also be getting up when she had stood up. At that point he hurriedly picked up his backpack from the floor and closed his Star Wars encyclopedia and notebook and picked up all his pens and the rest, and put them into his bag. Then he pushed his chair back in order to get quickly up - only to accidentally push it too jerkily, so that the back feet of the chair didn't move quickly enough, and the forefeet were raised from the ground, and he fell down along with his chair on his back.
Rook let out a little shout of fright and then "Oof" as his back hit the ground.
For a moment there he saw stars and blinked violently, trying to figure out what had happened.

Arielle's eyes went wide as she watched Rooker fall to the floor along with his chair. It was all a bit silly, and she had to bite her lip out of fear of laughing.
Rushing over to the boy, she stood above him. She chuckled slightly. "Oh Rooker.. Are you okay?" There was a sweet smile on her lips as she fawned over the fallen teen. "Come on, let's get you up." She extended her hands out in front of him, offering to help pull him up.

To his good luck, Rook missed Arielle's amusement completely. As he finally managed to replace his glasses on his nose so that he might look up to the girl, he smiled a little shyly to her expression, which looked benign and worried to him. He really liked her. Though he also blushed for making himself look such an ass. "Uh, no, thank you," he said as he turned and clambered up, not taking the girl's hand. That would have been all too much. He got up as quickly as he could, and then brushed away the dirt and the dust that had got into his clothes. Then he replaced the chair upright and picked up his bag, and smiled to her, still rather shyly. "Uhh... shall we go?" Then he realised he had no idea where to take her. "Ummm... do you know any good places?" [[all the same to me where we take them ]]

Arielle was a bit taken aback when Rooker refused her help. Her own insecurities began whispering horrible things in her mind, though she did not show it. I mean, she knew he was shy.. but could he really be that shy? Or did she have reason to believe there was another answer?
Shaking her head in an attempt to clear it, she smiled at the boy. "The Don Valley Cafe is really peaceful." She shifted the weight of her books. "That's where I go to get away from everything."
Not giving Rooker time to respond, she continued. "Come on..." There was a small smile on the girl's lips as she turned and headed toward the library's exit.
[Should we just jump right to the cafe?]

Rook liked the idea of Don Valley Cafe. It was one of his favourite spots, being quiet and peaceful. Of course he didn't go out much, but had he gone, the Cafe would have been where he'd gone. "Sure," he answered and left with her. [[sure thing! Feel free to start the new thread if you have the time before I do ]]
