"Thats good. Cause ...i was going to invite you to read with me"
Eclipse blushed smiling. "Wade.. I think i like you.." She looked up at him
"yeah, I like you too, but these things take time"he looks away
"Well i thought id say it. Even if just once." She looks down slightly.
"so...wanna grab some punch...hopefully no one spiked it"
"spiked? Why would someone put a volleyball in the punch? You must explain normal human customs to me one day. " Eclipse giggled, letting him lead the way.
"ohh, i thought you where referring to gym class." She looks at the punch. "it seems normal. Should i take the first sip? I dont get affected by alcohol easily."
"you can't tell just by looking at it, and seeing that two boys here did drink alcohol earlier I wouldn't put it past them"
"well, as my mother always says, you never know how deep until you jump."
Eclipse takes a cup and drinks it. "hmm, couldve used more sweetness, but it tastes just fine. "

"phew...thats goo...wait how do you know how alcohol affects you"he says grabbing a cup and filling it with punch
"well, in my homeland its custom to have 1 glass of alcohol on your 14th birthday. On my 18th birthday, ill have two. It symbolizes the passage of childhood, to teenager, then teenager to adult. to be perfectly honest i dont like it, but traditions, tradition i suppose."
"oh, well where I'm from there is no alcohol birthday traditions, just no alcohol until you are 21"
"21? Goodness. " she takes another sip. "Your home sounds very strict. Perhaps you could show me it one day."
"there is a reason for that rule, before then it gives us brain damage and stuff like that"
"Perhaps that explains why everythings a mystery to me." She lets out a laugh.
