Summer Break discussion

And here is the book store where you buy books and stuff like that. Just imagine it as the Barnes and Noble book store with Starbucks.

Mason arrived at the book store. He scanned the store and noticed that they're were probably only a couple people here. The others must be at the Starbucks section.

Mason loved to read though. His favorite subject in school was history. He would really like to buy a good history book to read. He went to the just walked around a bit until he found it. He already knows where it is, but he likes to dawdle most of the time.

Christina was walking up and down the book aisles, she looks down at her phone and bumps into him. "Oh I'm sorry!" She says

Mason feels someone, or something, bump into him. He looks at the person in front of him. It was girl. She was a few inches shorter than him. This girl has beautiful wavy, dark brown hair and sparkling eyes. He felt mesmerized just looking at her. Then he notices that she'd said something to him. It sounded like an apology.

"It's all right," he said with a warm smile.

What's wrong with him? He's never met a girl like her before. He knows that he has great memory. But this girl just... She just...made his mind fuzzy.

She blushed when she looked at him. "I um" she stuttered.

((I actually forgot to mention in my character form that she has a very thick British accent.))

((It's okay.))

Mason couldn't keep his eyes off of her. He didn't want to seem creepy though and keep staring at her. So he focused on something else. The object that he laid his eyes on was a book with the picture of a chocolate cake on it. He didn't want to focus on that either because it'll make his stomach growl.

He didn't know what to say to her so he started off the normal way. "Um, hey," he said. "I'm Mason." He stretched out his hand to shake hers.

"I'm Christina" She says giving his hand a firm shake.

Mason Gray felt a little electric shock as their hands touched. He wondered if she felt it, too. Maybe it was just him and his imagination.

"Christina," he says, giving it some thought. "That's a pretty name."

"Well thank you" Christina says with her accent "Mason is a fine name as well"

Mason's ears blushed when she said his name. He didn't know what to say. Well, he knew what to say, but he was worried that he'll say it incorrectly.

"T-thanks," he stuttered.

"Your welcome" she replied and smiled.

"So you like History?" She asked noticing the aisle they're in.

Mason stood there in front of Christina, not knowing what else to saw to her. To him, every word felt like a tongue twister in his mouth.

((GTG. Sorry!))

Christina stared at him waiting for a reply.

((Aw :( ok))

Abby wrote: "Christina stared at him waiting for a reply.

((Aw :( ok))"

Mason realized that Christina was talking to him. She asked him a question. A simple question that he could answer.

"Yes," he told her. "What kind of genre do you like?"

"Well I'm more into young adult fiction, but I suppose history is cool too!" She says with a smile.

Mason smiled at Christina. The conversation wasn't really flirty, but instead it was a friendly talker with a stranger. Well, not a stranger since he knows her name.

"So you like romance?" he asked her.

Typical for a girl, but then again who was he to judge her?

"I love it, it's just wonderful. I haven't read I Romance I haven't liked. They are all beautiful pieces of work. And oh the plots.." She looked down at the ground. She always got carried talking about books.

He smiled. He thought that she was cute when she was describing the way that the type of genre made her heart beat; the way it makes you want to never stop reading. He knows that feeling. It was like that with his genre, history.

She smiled back, with his smile she was glad she didnt annoy him.

((2 sentences per post!!!))

Mason just smiled at her. He didn't know what else to say. Should he ask for her number? Or what? He dated girls, but it's usually the ones his friends set him up with. He's never been serious with them

"So..."

((Oh ya sorry))

Bethany kinda looked around, it was kinda awkward. "So" she says giving a nervous laugh and continued to look around.

He laughed nervously.

"So..."

He didn't know what else to say. His friends had it easy. They knew how to flirt and talk to girls. But he didn't.

"Can I look at your phone for a second?" he asked her.

"Um sure." Bethsny tells him slipping an IPhone from her pocket. "Here you go." She says slowly handing him the phone wondering why he needed it.

Elisabeth walked in with her iPhone out and looked around.

Ellie found the book, took it out, read a few pages and put it back. Then moved on to look at other books.

Abby wrote: ""Um sure." Bethsny tells him slipping an IPhone from her pocket. "Here you go." She says slowly handing him the phone wondering why he needed it."

Mason took her phone and added his number into her contact list. Her gestures with his hand to wait for a second. He used her phone to call his iPhone 4S and then he saved her into his contacts. He gave her phone back to her.

"Here," he said. "Now I have your number."

Wait, he thought. What if she thought that it was creepy?

"Um ok" she said with a tiny smile and a nervous giggle. She slipped her phone back into her pocket and looked around willing the awkward moment to end.

The awkward moment was killing him.

"So...um," he said, "I'll, um, call you."

He paused.

"I'll see you around."

He waved goodbye and left the store without even buying a book.

"Ok" She says quietly to herself and she felt a small smile form on her lips as she went to the YA section.

Elisabeth found the books she was looking for and grabbed them. She took them to the counter to purchase them.

She paid and left the bookstore.
