Bookstore Fun

[_rockprincess]

You know, this whole outing would probably be better if it was the library rather than a bookstore, because it's not like we have money to spend on books right now, so we're kinda torturing ourselves in a way aren't we?

Not that I'm gonna let Mike know that, because he wanted us to do something fun, and it doesn't cost anything to just look so I'

"Maybe the smile is just a disguise to hide the fact that I'd probably blush at any moment now." I admitted with a cheeky grin.

"We already established how your hair is this pretty color that makes me want to go 'Oooh, shiny!' right?" I asked her when she questioned if it was a good thing or not.

[_rockprincess]

"Okay, yeah, you did." I agreed with a smile. "You're amused with my insanely, bordering on un-natural, red hair. Got it. As a concept anyway. Not entirely sure as to the 'Why' of it." I admitted to her.

Which was entirely true. Why anyone would be quite this fascinated with my hair, shiny or not, was a total mystery. Though, really, while we're on the subject of mysteries, I'm still not sure I understand what it is that makes me feel so comfortable around this girl...like I can really trust her and we could actually be really good friends if I could ever get over the nervous thing.

I shrugged, "It seems to me that a really outgoing brilliant girl is trying to get out of you. The bright hair, musical inclination, what you do..." I commented, probably going an inch too far. "And yet you're still hiding in a way..."

I think I have a tendancy to talk even when I should probably shut my mouth. I think this is one of those times.

As Savannah was talking, I felt my cheeks warm again. Part of me knew she was right...I mean, getting piles of awards and hiding, it just doesn't mix very well. Or even make sense to try.

"Things with my life...hiding's kinda become just as natural as playing my guitar is. It's just something that I've always had to do...which I'm sure makes no sense to you at all." I tried to explain quietly.

I nodded after a moment, "That's too bad. Hiding pretty much sucks."

I looked at myself. Wasn't I doing the same thing? Was I hiding too? I saw the same look in her eyes and knew somehow I should change the subject. "So, what sort of music do you play?"

[_rockprincess]

I smiled a little at her question. "Um...I guess you could call it pop rock." I shrugged. "Little hard to say right now since it's mostly me and my guitar. Not that I exactly mind that or anything."

I was silently really thankful Savannah'd changed the topic. I wasn't sure if she was going to push the 'hiding' thing, or even what I'd tell her if she did. And I'd much rather talk about my music than my various issues any day. Though I'm not sure how she knew that.

I nodded immediately. "I know it's not the same, but it's sort of like that with my dancing. I mean, I can dance in a group of other supremely talented people, but that's like just following orders, right?" I let out a deep breath.

"Sometimes when I'm all alone I'll just put my music on as loud as I can without disturbing the peace and just... dance. It's like the most freeing thing in the world." I admit.
