"I guess I might have some German in me... but what does 'Herr' mean, anyway?" He chuckled to himself. It all still felt awkward to him. Every time he felt her arm around him, all he could think about was something beyond that. Again, he's a guy. "And yeah, it would've been cool to meet before. But I know from experience that it's hard for me to... you know, talk with anyone unless I'm forced to. So if not for you tripping, I doubt I would've noticed you jogging along the path or passing me at school at all. C'est la vie... Heh. I guess I'm French now." |

Listening to Ridley again, Raine tried to cover her mouth but the giggle escaped her before she could stifle it. "Herr...it means Mister. Translated, I'm calling you Miister Ridley because it's the polite thing to do right?" She then realized how silly and formal she must have sounded to someone who radiated a casual aura. Raine didn't even care that she was looking at him wide eyed like a deer caught in headlights. Her face reddened again and she bit her lip, looking away. "I-I-I'm sorry. That must have sounded weird." |

"Mister, huh? That doesn't really suit me, so you can drop it. If you can, I mean. If it's reflex, then by all means." Once she looked him right in the eye with her apology, the first thing that he thought was, 'A bit too close.' He couldn't help but laugh aloud for a good few seconds. "Ah, don't worry about it. Like I said, if you can't help it, then go ahead. It may not fit me, but it's not a crime." He lets one corner of his mouth curl up in a smile, and kicked a rock that was in his path. "Anyway, my turn. Why do you jog?" |

Raine still kept her gaze away from Ridley's as she offered her explanation for her jogging. "At first," she began, speaking softly as if afraid if speaking louder would betray her insecurity about that subject. "...it was a way of coping with my mum's death. She died when I was a little girl and my father soon remarried. I jog as a way to avoid being home." "But," Raine seemed to smile. "It seems what was once a coping method has blossomed into a hobby and into a sport for me. So I'm happy for that. It's one thing my father can be proud of for me." "...so, why do you jog? Is it to meet cute girls?" Raine ventured. |

The sudden mention of death caught Ridley offguard slightly, but he couldn't ever sympathize with people who had lost their parents, having only a grandparent die during his lifetime, and even then he was only six. "Sorry to hear about your mom. Can't say I can relate. It's cool that you have a hobby now, though. Always good to have one. Yep." His stalling was getting annoying, even for him. That was when he realized that he could talk about himself again. "As for the whole jogging thing, I'm not. I was exploring. It's one of my many colorful hobbies." He sweeped his open palm across his face as if to make a glamor shot. 'Damn, that was stupid,' he thought to himself in annoyance. |

"It's good to explore. If I had more energy I would explore so many different places and take lots of pictures to take home and paint!." Raine continued as she absorbed Ridley's knowledge. Raine didn't know why she was so open to this young man. Was he what her friends would call a kindred soul? Everything seemed to be spinning too fast for her. Raine lifted a hand to rest on her forehead. Was she getting dizzy? Maybe it was the sun who knows. Raine only knew that she was fatigued from the jog, the sun, the ankle...and Ridley himself. Without actually meaning too, Raine let her cheek rest against Ridley's shoulder. Her eyes seemed to half-shut and she fought to stay awake. "Thank you." Raine again spoke softly. |

"Exploring someplace and writing about it would be the best fucking job ever. Too bad I suck too much at getting my facts straight about everywhere I visit." He smiled with a soft chuckle. Ridley noticed the slight rub right off the bat. He swallowed a little and knew what was going on. He was genre-savvy enough to know that these were tell-tale signs of a girl with a crush. 'You don't know that, idiot,' he argued with himself. 'Nothing wrong with being grateful. Now stop being a wishful-thinking douche and ask which way to her house!' "So yeah. No problem... Now, which way from here?" They had come upon a street stretching to the left and right of the pair. He knew the area like the back of his hand, but not enough to know who lived there. |

"To the left...b-b-but I do not wish to go." Raine lifted her head up from his shoulder and shook her head repeatedly before placing it back there. In a quiet voice she said, "They're still there and I was not such a good child last night. They will want to yell at me.and punish me." Raine seemed to shiver against Ridley's arm. She bit on her bottom lip and turned her gaze to the ground. Raine knew she had no right to cling onto this boy's arm. What if he had a girlfriend? What if he just wanted to be friends? What if he was doing this just to look good in her eyes? Raine didn't know what to think anymore and that thought scared her. |

Ridley paused, this time taking in the silence instead of sweating in response. "Well, that's the shits, isnit?" He half-closed one eye in thought and looked around the area for a few seconds. There were some benches, still plenty of trees, but still not much else to write home about. He looked at her, and felt her shaking against his arm, and let out a sigh. "You know what? This'll never work. Get on my back real quick." He knelt down with his back facing her with an expecting smirk. |

Raine stood there, watching Ridley kneel down and offer his back. She quickly glanced for anyone watching and satisfied that there was no one, Raine got on his back and wrapped her arms around his neck. "What do you mean by doing this? You do not have to if you do not want to." Raine inquired as she did so. Ridley felt warm and Raine felt again at ease with him. Why? Her mind screamed that logic must be followed. Pushing those thoughts out of her mind, Raine managed to relax. |

"It's fine, I just don't want to have to go somewhere at a snail's pace." Once he felt that she was secure on his back and her legs tucked uner either arm, he took off at his top running speed with her in tow. He did his best to remain steady with her there. She wasn't heavy; she only threw him off a little. Nevertheless, he was having fun, which is more than he could say about studying for finals. |

She didn't know that Ridley was going to take off running. Her hold instinctively tightened onto him and she buried her face into his shoulder. The bouncing motion actually only made her ankle hurt a tiny bit. Raine could see that he was having fun and to tell the truth she was having fun too. "There must be something I can do for you." Raine said to him with a small giggle. "Anything. I can paint...I can tutor..." |

When he heard her offering, Ridley let out a laugh between breaths, striding across a street and around a corner. "What're you talking about? This is out of the goodness of my heart!" He leapt over a fallen tree branch to show off his prowess, only to stumble slightly on the landing. He was able to gain his footing again, though. "Besides, tutoring's for losers. If you can't pass on your own, then you shouldn't even be in school!" He didn't care that his remark was arrogant, but he hadn't ever lived in a world where he couldn't understand the material given to him after a few days. That didn't stop him fro ceasing to care about high school, though. "Anyway, we're almost there!" |

"I suppose you are right." Raine answered as she giggled gleefully at the ride she was being given. Ridley seemed to have lived a lot more life experiences than she did and Raine had to respect that. She should have known that suggesting tutoring was an insult in itself, but she was happy he didn't become mad at her. Raine looked on ahead and she could see her house in the distance. Now she was sure she didn't want to go home. For the first time since forever, she was having fun and it was with someone she seemed to like. "I wish this could go on forever." Raine let slip quietly. |

Because of his panting, Ridley couldn't hear her last remark. He was too concentrated on getting to the location. "You won't be able to do much when we get there because of your ankle, but I like to bring people to this place for the hell of it." As if on que, he turned what he knew was the last time, and they came upon an abandoned factory building. It was made entirely of concrete, and had graffiti and cracks all over it. None of the windows were without cracks or being outright taken out. "Here we are. It's probably the most climbable place in town. One of my favorite spots... then again, I have tons of favorite spots." He cracks another smile and begins walking instead of running towards the side of the building until they come across a large hole in the concrete wall. "You wanna go in?" |
