The Meeting Part 2

Part 2:

The Girl stopped when she noticed The Boy, now done packing his things, and her friend continued out the door commenting on the
noise of the street, oblivious to the absence of her coffee companion. She felt compelled to tell The Boy something, but she wondered
to herself, "What am I going to say"?. Ideas rushed in and out of her mind. "Should I just tell him I liked the song"? What if he thinks
I'm a groupie"? "How aweful", she thought, "A coffee shop groupie". She shook her head and resolved, "If he thinks that then he
is and idiot". With decition in mind, The Girl walked directly to The Boy with almost hurried steps, which may have been an unfortunate
oversight because when she reached The Boy, her elongated steps stoped her just too close for comfort. The Boy saw her coming his way
and tryed not to let on, but her speed, and closer that expected proxmety, genuinly suprised him. Both let out a slight, awkward
laugh as The Girl took a half step back. In the moment The Girl completely forgot what to say. Her mind was a total blank.
She regretted her decision greatly at this point. The Boy, had no idea what to say either but wasn't going to let that stop him.
The Boy opened his mouth and out came, "Umm..."
"I liked your song". The Girl said shortly.
"Thank you". He replied.
Having accomplished what she set out to do, The Girl felt relieved, but unsure how to break away from the situation. It's times like
these that instinct kicks in and we feel a urge that causes us to either run away or confront whatever it is that faces you, otherwise
know as "fight or flight". The Girl took another half step back, forced a smile and caught up with her friend that had continued
talking to the air beside her untill she was next to her car in the parking lot outside the shop.
