Paige & Darren Private one-on-one (@Typhoon1912)

"No, that you're perfectly imperfect and I love that,"

Paige didn't know what to say. She just stared at Darren with her mouth parted slightly.

"You seem speechless, flattered, and that you want me to kiss you,"

"Wha- I… Uh…" Paige stammered helplessly.

Darren chuckled, “Now you seem nervous, do I make you nervous with my flattery?”

Paige blushed. "I'm never complimented."

“Well that’s not fair. You deserve to be,”

"That's a bit far fetched…" Paige looked down at her hands.

“You are quite far down the road of self deprecation. I think you can still be saved though,”

"Oh really? How so?" Paige asked incredulously.

"We'll see. I'm pretty good at changing people's minds," He grinned.

"You haven't met me," Paige replied slyly.

Darren laughed, “I guess we’ll have to see won’t we?”

"I guess," Paige retorted playfully.

"I guess," Paige retorted playfully.

The movie had ended and they were one of last few people in the theater. "Shall we?"

"We shall," Paige grinned, standing up.

Darren also stood up with a yawn and a stretch that lifted his shirt slightly.

Paige couldn't help but look as what showed of Darren's abs. She knew that she was looking for to long, but she couldn't help it.

Darren looked at her with a sly smile, "See something you like honey?"

Paige quickly looked away, yet again, blushing furiously.

Darren laughed, so easy to make her blush. He began walking toward then exit, hand swinging freely at his side.

Paige followed him, not paying attention to the swing of his hand until it hit her out of the blue.

Darren smiled at her sweetly as the walked.

Paige smiled back shyly. Her watch buzzed. School was out. She'd officially ditched.

"So did you enjoy your first ditch day?"

"Yes, it was great!" Paige said, her hand brushing against Darren's.

Darren smiled and slowly laced their hands together.

Paige closed her eyes. A sudden though hit her, bring a wave of panic with it. What will my parents think?!

"Hey, you okay?" He said when she closed her eyes.
