"Yes!" I shouted as I killed off Kazdan Paratus on level 2 of the trail version of "The Force Unleashed" video game at GameStop.
"That was pretty awesome." I heard some guy say.
"Thanks." I said as I turned around.
"I don't ever think I've seen a girl in here by herself playing video games." He said and I shrugged.
"I'm not your average girl." I said as I walked past him to browse through the other video games in the store.
"How old are you?" the guy asked as he continued to follow me.
"Almost 18." I responded as I turned and took a good look at him. He looked familiar.
"Where do you go to school?" he asked.
"McKinley." I responded.
"What's your…" He started but I cut him off.
"I think you've asked enough questions for now." I said as I patted his arm.
"Just one more" he said.
"Ok." I said picking up an x-men video game and looking at it.
"What's your Name?" He asked.
"Hope." I smiled at him.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Sam." he smiled.
"Well Sam it's been nice, but I must get going." I said putting down the video game and walking out of the store,
"Hope, wait." I heard Sam say as I was walking down the sidewalk and I stopped.
"Look if you want to make fun of me for liking video games, and being a nerd you can just get in line." I said softly shaking my head.
"Why would I make fun of you?" he asked confused. I shrugged.
"Because almost everyone else does." I muttered.
"I think it's pretty cool that you play video games." He said smiling. I smiled as I shook my head.
"It's more than just the fact I play video games. I'm a nerd, and I'm quite proud of it. I like comic books, sci-fi movies, and I can speak a little Na'vi, and a little Klingon. I grew up playing with action figures not dolls. And I'm a red head so I've gotten used to the fact that most everyone here makes fun of me." I said with a sigh. He just laughed.
"I think people are stupid, you sound like the coolest girl I know." He said making me laugh.
"You're sweet, qatlho'." I said making him he laugh.
"Was that Klingon?" he asked and I nodded.
"Yeah, it pretty much means, thank you" I smiled than started to walk towards my car.
"Hope." Sam said softly. I turned.
"Yeah?"
"Would you like to go get so coffee sometime?" he asked and I smiled.
"Sure."
