"Whatcha reading?" a voice asked.

It was my last period of the day, and I sat in the library for my study hall.

"It's just an old marvel comic I found in my dad's stuff when we moved," I shrugged to the male who asked.

He was a larger blond guy.  Looked like he played football but off the field, couldn't a fly.

"Oh neat, my friend Kevin is always reading those.  Which one is it?" he asked.

Kevin? As in Cherry Soda, Asian Kevin?

"Captain America," I smiled. 

"Hey, aren't those things like worth like a lot of money?" he asked.

I let out a small laugh,"They can be.  I've spent quite a bit on comics in my life, but I don't think my dad would ever sell his.  It's a miracle he let me even touch them, let alone leave the house with them so I could keep reading."

"Yeah, Kevin is really protective of his too.  Sometimes I think he likes them more than his girlfriend.  Not that I could blame him," he laughed to himself.

I laughed too.  

"I'm Bradley," he introduced himself.

"I'm (Y/N)," I smiled.

The bell rang dismissing us for the day.

"See you around?" he asked.

"Yeah," I agreed.

After school, I stopped by Game Stop to see if I could get anything for my Xbox before going home, and there he was, working.  I couldn't help but smile to myself.

"Hey stranger," I smiled.

"Oh-hey," he flinched.

"Don't worry.  You're bossy girlfriend isn't her to yell at you for looking at me," I joked.

He let out a laugh, "You noticed that?" 

"Oh, I believe everyone has noticed that," I giggled.

"What can I help you with?" he asked.

"Just came to see what you had available for Xbox games," I shrugged.

"I'm a big fan of Battlefront II," he commented.

"You know, I thought about getting is, but the first one was a bit of a bust for me you know?  Like, I love those movies, and the game just wasn't as epic," I frowned.

"Oh trust me, no one loves those movies more than me, and I'll agree the first wasn't-"

"Is that a challenge?" I narrowed my eyes.

"What?" he asked.

"Was that a challenge? Of who the bigger Star Wars fan is?" I repeated.

"No- I was- I was just say that, like, I really love Star Wars-"

"Because you'd lose," I cut him off.

He closed his mouth still flustered, not even knowing how to respond.

"I'll take Battlefront II," I continued.

He grabbed the game for me, his face still beat read, and had no other words.

"May the force be with you," I winked before leaving the store.
