"Who says I'm not a bad influence? MWAHAH!" Zach laughed dramatically. "Okay, okay, who am I fooling? I'll take your word for it on this one..." He was still a little nervous about meeting her family... Wait, had he just said nervous? Noooo way. Zach wasn't nervous. He'd already established that, yes? "Headache? Nope," he said, looking a little bit confused. Maybe it was all the head shaking. But nah, he'd been TOTALLY discreet about that. He thought. "Din. Dinner." he stammered a little bit, his eyes widening. OHNOSOCIALSETTINGPEOPLEHEDIDNTKNOWANDWANTEDTOIMPRE SSPANICMODE!!!!!!!!!!
Buuuuuuuuuuuut. He'd go. He wanted to. It terrified him, but he wanted to. Did that mean anything?
Kylie smiled and laughed along with Zach. She felt like she'd known him forever, even though they'd only just met at the end of the term. She was glad that Zach seemed to be recovering from his earlier trauma. He really had nothing to be worried about. Her family was so incredibly sweet...
Ah. Dinner. She watched painfully as Zach did nothing short of freaked out in front of her. When she couldn't handle it anymore, she took her hand and covered Zach's with it. "If you don't want to, or can't... that's okay. I mean, really." She couldn't believe the disappointment that was already stemming slightly in her voice. She hadn't even thought this through, and she was already disappointed that Zach might not come.
WHAT. WAS. SHE. DOING!? Much like the number of licks it took to get to the center of a tootsie pop... the world will never know.
