"Yeah, that'd be great," you answer, happiness surging in you at her invitation. She picks up her deck and the two of you stroll the few blocks to the store. You try to chat about inconsequential things, trying build up your courage to ask her out, but she gives you one or two word answers, seemingly uninterested in conversation.

At the store she pulls a can of energy drink out of the cooler and gives you an inquiring look. You nod your head and she grabs another one, taking them to the counter and paying for them.

"Thanks! That's very nice of you," you reply, taking a swig from your own can as the two of you leave the store. She crouches against the wall of the store, leaning her back against it and sipping her drink. You join her, grateful for her companionship, still struggling with a way to ask her out.

"So Jimmy, you want to cut school this afternoon and hang out?" she asks, making you gulp in surprise.
