Cafe Readings ( Reagan Tag Any )

[Reagan Doyle]

" I usually am." Reagan replied to his comment about being the minority. She liked all the things the other girls did, dressing up, going to the football games, those types of things. It just had never been something for her to get so emotional over, no matter what those emotions were ( happy, upset, etc. ) If she wanted to go then she went. If she didn't want to or there was a reason she couldn't make it, she wasn't going to cry or be super upset and depressed over it. There were few things that made her that over zealous.

" Don't worry. I hear about it to, I have friends. " she joked lightly. " I figure I will find something else even better to do that night so I don't have to feel like I missed anything. " That was probably a lie, there wasn't a whole lot else to do for someone like her in a place like this, especially with every person she knew at the prom she was not attending. She would figure it out though, she was a smart girl.

Reagan pushed her hair back out of her face again and watched as a few more people entered the cafe. She was glad now she had stopped doing her homework, more people meant more distractions and she didn't study as well when it was overly crowded anyways.

" I don't wanna keep you if you just came in for a coffee. I'm sure you have other places to head off to? " she asked honestly. Hers was now gone and he was from what it looked like probably only a drink or two away. It was nice having someone to talk to a bit and be a distraction of the good sort, she had wanted originally to do homework but it wasn't like that couldn't be accomplished at home before bed or in the few hour time frame after school she and her siblings were the only ones home.

"Yeah, I don't think anyone can escape the prom talk," he agreed, with a slight laugh. She didn't seem so sure when she said that she'd find something better to do that night. With all her friends at the prom, it was doubtful she'd find something better to do alone. Ben had no expectations of finding something better to do, but he was sure he'd be able to entertain himself just fine. Probably smoke up and watch a movie or something...that was his plan.

"It's okay," Ben said. It wasn't that he really minded putting off the homework for a bit anyway. But it was starting to get crowded and she was finished her coffee and he was almost done. Which did mean that they were taking up valuable seating space. He ran his fingers through his messy blonde hair and brought the paper coffee cup to his lips, downing the rest of his drink. "As much as I don't want to go home and do the homework thing...I probably should get going," he said.

He stretched as he stood up and tossed his empty cup in the trash can. "It was nice meeting you though," he said, "maybe I'll see you around in school sometime," he told her. She had been nice to talk to. A more suave boy probably would have already asked the pretty and dateless girl to the prom, but Ben wasn't him. Ben didn't really pretend to be smooth about things or anything like that. He liked girls, sure, but usually he was preoccupied with surfing and smoking and just took whatever action came to him rather than seeking it out and making any effort what-so-ever.

Tag for Wrap?

Reagan watched as he stood and picked up her own things meeting him standing next to the couch. It had been nice for a while but she too actually needed to get home and finish some homework. She would stop off on the way and grab some food then hide out in her room for the night.

" Yeah. I am sure now that we know who the other is we will see each other quite often." she said pulling her keys from her pocket and slowly heading towards the door with him.

" Thanks again for keeping me company. Good luck with your homework and I will see you around." she said bidding him a good bye as she crossed the parking lot throwing her things in the back seat before finally leaving the cafe.
