Wow, this is fun. Brooke was feeling desperate. She couldn't even bring herself to act normally. She was staring at the floor, the kids running wildly, the ice cream man. Anything else except at him. If she did, she would have starred and Lucas would have been totally freaked out. She didn't know what to do with her hands. Should she stuff them in her pockets like what he was doing? She wanted desperately to link arms with him, but was that too advanced for the 1st date? Brooke didn't know cause she has never went out with a guy who meant anything to her. So Brooke just placed her two hands clasped together infront of her.
He's not even trying to make conversation. He's probably wondering why he asked me out in the first place. Brooke looked up and saw her date frowning slightly. Oh god, he's thinking of the best way to ditch me.
oOoOoOo
I should have told her how beautiful she looked. And she was beautiful. Brooke's appearance seemed to be more pronounced that night. Her dark hair reflected the moonlight and her skin looked as though it was glowing. She was an angel, if angels wore hot pink tank tops and skinny jeans, that is.
Lucas sighed. He knew he was boring her. But how exactly do you capture the attention of a girl who is always at the centre of attention?
And that was when he saw the games station. He grabbed Brooke's hand. "Let's go."
But to his dismay, the station didn't have anything that resembled hoops or balls. He had to choose from either catching rubber ducks floating in an artificial pond with long sticks or darts. Lucas went for the darts, on seeing that it was a cooler option. He turned to grin at Brooke.
"What do you want Brooke?"
"The giraffe." Brooke said, rather excitedly. Lucas knew he hit the jackpot. Girls and stuffed toys. She's gonna love him.
oOoOoOo
Twenty two dollars later, Brooke was getting restless. Lucas looked abit hysterical with the sleeves of his hoody rolled to his elbows and his hair unkempt from being attacked by his fingers everytime he missed. But handsome all the same.
"Luke, let's just forget about Spottylongneck for now ok?"
"I can't Brooke, you've even named him."
"Maybe you can let me try?"
"Hold on, just one more, I think I've gotten a hold of this thing."
Brooke didn't look at this last attempt but from the loud 'Arghhh' she heard, she figured Lucas was raking through his hair again. Determined to stop him from growing nuts on her, she handed a dollar to the man behind the counter and collected the three darts.
Brooke positioned herself. She felt a little strange as Lucas was looking at her. But nothing could have stopped her as she threw the darts one after another right on the bulls-eye. This earned her a perched eyebrow from the games master and a loud groan from Lucas.
"Spotty." Brooke gave her new stuffed animal a little peck in its nose.
Note: Not the most original idea. It seems a bit like a filler. I wanted to add more, but I didn't want to write a long chapter. This shall be a trademark of What's Real- Really short chapters.
Loved it? Hated it? Read and review to let me know.
