Day 32
Who: George Lass and Lucas Scott
What: George finally gets the guts to go knock on Lucas' door and ask him for some basketball lessons, like he offered
When: Day 32, afternoon
Where: Lucas' residential building, at his door (probably will move on to a more suitable location for basketball practising)
Status: Incomplete
Rating: PG just to be safe

George had thought about it most morning. Not all the time, of course, she'd been in too good a company to obsess over anything, but she had definitely thought about it.
In all fairness, Lucas had said he was serious about the offer, and that she could go knock on his door at any time. However, something like that was easier said than done for George, who, for some reason, dreaded to begin human interaction.

Finally, after much thought and downright obsession (after a while) George decided to walk over to Lucas' building and knock. Just knock. It wasn't like she was going to force anyone to do anything, and it wasn't like knocking on doors wasn't an everyday sort of thing. People knocked, all the time, because they had to. And now, George had to, as well. Because she was bored, because she wanted to do something under that awesome sun other than lie down and sleep, and, if she was honest, because she wouldn't mind seeing Lucas again. Also, because if she didn't, Lucas wouldn't know she was outside.

As she finished this entangled train of thought, she arrived at his door. Taking a deep breath and sporting a look of dread that was akin to her being forced to kick a puppy, George knocked.

	George nodded, swallowing. "What, the 'think and you shall receive' thing? It's great." She agreed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	George smiled back, but then she had not much to say. Afraid of an awkward silence, she tried her hardest. "So..." Was all that came out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"So, how did you like playing basketball?" he asked. "And you can be honest." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	George made an awkward face. "Well...I didn't hate it." She said, trying her best not to hurt his feelings. "And I'm glad I learned something new! I am!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He laughed a little. "It's okay. You don't have to love it. I'm glad you agreed to allow me to teach you. I might bring Layla out to play sometime." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She laughed with him, playing with her straw. "No problem. Who's Layla?" She asked casually, but already sort of knowing who she might be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"She's my girlfriend," he said smiling a little wider. "We went to the same college before we came here and I had a thing for her back home. I met her when we got here and we got together yesterday." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	George smiled sadly. Seemed like everybody knew someone from home except her, and as friendly as they were being, she missed familiar. "That's sweet. Congratulations." She said, taking a large sip off her drink afterwards. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He noticed the sad smile and leaned over the table. He placed his hand over hers. "You okay?" he asked softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notgivingashit 2009-02-22 06:54 pm UTC (link)
	George sighed and looked to the right moving only her eyes. "Fine." She wasn't going to say what was on her mind at the moment, because it was shitty that she felt lonely in a weird way - because she hadn't been that alone yet - but it wasn't Lucas' fault. Plus, it was a pity that he was taken, but George wasn't going to say that to him either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You miss home?" he asked softly. "I know we haven't known each other long but I'd like to think we're friends so if you need to talk about anything, I'm here for you. Okay?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	George swallowed hard and ordered more Cherry Coke in her head over and over again so many times, three tall glasses of it ended up appearing in front of her. "Yeahh...No. It's okay. Forget about it." She said, trying her best to smile. Of course she missed home. She missed familiarity. As much fun as she was having, home was home, and it was not there.

	"Okay, if you're sure. But you can talk to me if you need to. We're friends right?" he asked, his voice hopeful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

George widened her gaze at the three glasses of cherry coke. She would need the toilet after that, but she would try to drink them all anyway.

"I...Yeah. Sure. Yeah." She had never been asked to her face if she was someone's friend, so it was a little weird for her to have Lucas asking that right now. But it seemed like they were, indeed, friends, and he was very sweet to her, like a friend should be. So, yes, they were friends.

She took on the first coke.

	"Okay, good," he said smiling warmly. "Thirsty?" he asked with a chuckle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	George eyed the glasses and shrugged, slightly annoyed. "Clearly..." What went through the Planet's mind to, instead of providing her with a refill, giving her three glasses of coke just because she asked for it so much!? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	His smile slipped a little when she looked slightly annoyed. He took a sip of his coke. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She noticed he had stopped smiling, and frowned. "What's up?" She asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Nothing. I guess I'm just a little worried about you. You seem kinda upset and annoyed." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notgivingashit 2009-02-23 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	George screwed her face into a frown and looked at Lucas. "Why would you be worried? I'm just annoyed that the planet seemed to think I'm never having the chance of drinking cherry coke again in my life, is all." And some other stuff like apparently the planet lost control when she did - in her mind. That annoyed her, how could it not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	luke_scott22 2009-02-23 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	"I'd be worried because you're my friend and I worry about my friends when they seem down or annoyed." He gave her a warm encouraging smile, hoping it would make her frown disappear. He liked her and thought she was a friend and he hated to see his friends annoyed or upset. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It was a minor freak-out, it's okay." George said, smiling, and feeling more calm and collected now. "I suppose I just ordered the refill too hard." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	luke_scott22 2009-02-24 06:45 am UTC (link)
	"Okay, I'm glad to hear it," he said smiling wider at her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notgivingashit 2009-02-24 11:49 am UTC (link)
	George smiled at Lucas again. Good thing the freak-out was done with, although she still wasn't going to drink all that coke. She glanced at it, shaking her head. "Stupid..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
