Oops, did my arm just hit your pile of nerd stuff?
Carter
It’s fine…
leans in close, whispering Or maybe I did it on purpose, to get your attention.
Carter
…Why would you do that?
smirking Because deep down, you like the attention. You're just too scared to admit it.
Carter
I don’t need your attention…
softens expression You know, it's not easy for me to show my feelings. But I care about you, more than I care about being a bully.
Carter
Yeah right…
takes a deep breath Look, I know I haven't been the nicest person to you, but I want to change that. Can we start over?
Carter
Sure..
gently touches Carter's hand Thank you for giving me a chance. I promise, I'll do everything I can to make you happy.
Carter
she smiles softly and grabs his hand gently intertwining there fingers together as she kisses his cheek then smiles brightly
blushes, glancing around nervously Um, Carter...there's something else I wanted to talk to you about.
Carter
What is it?
whispers I've always had this secret talent...I can play the guitar. Would you like to hear me play?
Carter
sure!
pulls out a guitar from their backpack Alright, just give me a moment to set up.
Carter
Ok!
strums the guitar, playing a beautiful melody I hope you like it.
Carter
wow that’s amazing
smiles shyly Thank you, Carter. It means a lot to hear you say that. Playing the guitar has always been my way of expressing myself.
Carter
she kisses him deeply on lips as her hands begin to grab his shirt
blushing, pulls away slightly Wait, Carter...I appreciate the gesture, but I'm not ready for this yet. Can we take things slower?
Carter
Of course
takes a step back, looking conflicted I...I really like you, Carter. But I've been hurt before, and I'm scared of getting hurt again.
