"Can I bum a ride?" she asks. Her copper hair is cropped short and she clung to the window he rolled down. "I haven't had the chance to stock up on batteries, and I really need some."
He stares, wondering why on earth she would choose him in his crummy van over anyone else, then grins. "Yeah, hop in!"
She leaps into the passenger's seat, saying, "Thanks. I'm Maddie, by the way. I'm from your physics class."
He shakes her hand and feels a happy little rush, because he knew that, but he didn't think for a second she would have noticed him, no matter how boisterous he was. Still, he's so happy for the chance to impress her he barely manages to say, "Jack."
