Rachel waits patiently in the park at the bench they always meet at. She just sits and enjoys the nature and the birds and people.
"Rae!" Gar called waving one arm in the air, while running to get by her side. She stands slowly and links arms with him as they begin to walk.
"Hey, how was that volunteer work you did yesterday?" he asks.
"Boring. I think- and be ready, Gar cuz' I don't say this often- but I think we need some fun," She says smiling.
"You know what we should do?" he asks an idea forming in his head. He looks down at the brunette, her tight jeans flaring slightly at the bottom, her purple DC sneakers looking brand new, and her purple sweat shirt loosely fitting her.
"What?" she says bemused.
"That walk they did in the Wizard of 'Oz! You know when they linked arms and crossed legs?!"
She thought about it then remembered his clumsy features and her bad coordination.
"Let's not..."
"Come on, Rae! It'll be fun!"
Without her approval he started the cross-walk and when he put his foot in front of her's, she didn't see it. Without warning, she tripped over his foot and landed on the ground with a skid and an "oomph"
She looked up to the blonde expecting to see him laughing, thinking he did it on purpose only to see his expression of pure horror. She glared at him, getting up on her knees and elbows. His face a bright red almost matching hers. She got up ignoring the laughs she earned from other people. She dusted off her jeans and pulled up her hood.
"I'm sorry!" he said as she walked quickly in front of him, her hands in her sweatshirt's pockets.
"Don't worry, just forget it."
"Why won't you walk next to me?" he asks unsure of how to smooth this over.
"Because that worked so well the first time..." she answered dripping in sarcasm.
"Rae, it was an accident, I'm sorry. What do you want me to do?" he pleaded.
"You've done enough," she answered coldly, heading toward her car.
"Well, are we still gonna hang out today?" He asked seeing a glimmer of hope.
"I'll call you tomorrow," She said ducking into her car.
He sighed as she sped away. Of course he managed to somehow frig that up. Especially when she finally wants to have fun. Gar ran toward the open field spotting Vic chugging water down quickly.
"Hey, it's Lover boy! How's your chick?"
"Not good, she's P Oed."
"Yea, I saw that," He laughed remembering Rachel's fall. "Why'd ya' trip her, dude?"
"I don't know, she said she wanted fun, so..."
Vic laughed, "Yea, that was real fun, I bet she'll wanna do that again..."
"Hahaha, It doesn't matter because I will not mess up next time," Gar said confidently. "We're going to the beach and I decided that if Richard and his girlfriend Kori were there, and you of course, then maybe I can be myself and not so-" Gar stumbled for the word.
"Stupid? Dumb? Moronic? Idiotic?" Vic suggested.
Gar just glared.
Rachel sat in her car seeming to accelerate faster every time she got angrier. I can't believe I tripped. I'm so clumsy! I made a fool of myself, how am I supposed to see him at the beach tomorrow, I just need to relax, I cannot mess up again.
