"Hey, Robin?" It was around six o'clock in the evening, and the two teenagers had spread their homework out on the kitchen table and were working in relative silence. Robin didn't volunteer at the hospital on Wednesday's so she had thankfully not had to interact with Patrick.
"Yeah?" Robin asked after a pause in which she finished solving the matrix she was working on.
"I was talking to Patrick today and," Courtney began only to be interrupted by her friend.
"And, what?" Robin demanded.
"He asked me to talk to you." She replied softly.
"Talk to me about what?"
"He likes you." The blonde replied simply.
"Then why does he go out of his way to provoke me all the time?" Robin countered.
"Apparently he thinks you're pretty when you're mad." Courtney replied. Patrick's actual word's had been 'smoking hot' but somehow she didn't think Robin would appreciate that wording.
"What exactly does he want?" Robin asked tucking her hair behind her right ear.
"He wants you to give him a chance." Courtney replied.
"I'll think about it." Robin said before returning to her thrilling Pre-Calc homework.
"That's all I ask." Courtney replied with a smile.
They worked on their homework for around a half an hour longer until the door slammed
alerting them to Jason's presence.
"Courtney, Robin?" He called.
"In here." Courtney called back.
Moments later Jason materialized in the kitchen.
"How was school?" He asked leaning against the wall as he spoke.
"Fine." Robin replied.
"Ditto." Courtney echoed, continuing the time honored tradition of giving no details when asked about school.
"Sounds fun." Jason replied. "What do you guys want to do for dinner?"
"We haven't had pizza in awhile." Robin mused after a few minutes of consideration.
"Courtney?" Jason inquired.
"I'm good with pizza." The other girl replied.
"Pizza it is then. I'll go order it." Jason said heading into the living room in search of the phone.
After consuming what they wanted of the pizza, over the latest episode of So You Think You Can Dance, Courtney retreated to her room, claiming she had a ton of homework to do and leaving Robin and Jason alone.
Jason stared at his cousin unblinkingly waiting for her to speak.
"What?" Robin demanded.
"My question exactly." Jason replied. "What is bothering you so much?"
"Nothing." The brunette replied.
"It's about Drake isn't it?" Jason asked.
"How do you do that?" Robin demanded incredulously.
"Experience." Jason said succinctly. "Now Explain."
"Fine," Robin said rolling her eyes. "Patrick and I were sorting files at the hospital, and we were fighting, and then he was like 'I'm not so bad y'know?' And then I left." Robin said conveniently glossing over the part where she was laying on top of him. "And then I started thinking that maybe he really wasn't so bad, and then today he asked Courtney to put in a good word for him. And, I guess I'm just confused."
"Do you like him?" Jason asked surveying his cousin.
"Like, like him, like him?" She asked in true teenage girl fashion causing Jason to roll his eyes.
"Well, first off do you even like him as a person?" Jason wondered.
"He's not so bad." Robin replied. "He kind of grows on you...like a fungus."
"Lovely." Jason answered.
"He's annoying and sort of arrogant, or really arrogant, but at the same time he's a good guy and he wants to be a doctor, like me." Robin continued more seriously.
"I can't believe I am going to say this, but it can't hurt to let him take you out on a date." Jason said with a grimace. "Heavily guarded of course."
"Jason."
"What?" He asked sounding genuinely puzzled.
"What kind of date will it be if Max and Milo are following me around?"
"One I like." Jason answered. "If you prefer he can come over here?" Jason said clearly indicating that he would then supervise them.
"No thanks." Robin replied. "Besides he hasn't even asked me so it's a moot point."
"He will." Jason said confidently.
"We'll see." Robin answered. "I have homework to do." Robin said getting up from the couch, this was actually code for 'I am going to stay up half the night discussing this with Courtney.'
"Have fun." Jason called after her retreating back.
A/N Review, the next chapter will be posted on Wednesday. :)
