RIGGS //A Chandler Riggs fanfiction//BOOK ONE

Chapter 13

"So, do you play any sports?" Noah asks

"If you call slaying zombies a sport then yes, I'm fondly good at it." I laugh

"Other than killing zombies, do you do anything with a ball?" He puts his hands in his pockets

"Well, I like watching football, I've kicked a soccer ball around but I've never really played sports." I reply

It gets silent.

"So, whats your favorite color? Do you have any siblings, favorite movie, tv show... basic stuff." he seems to be bored and we don't share much in-common.

"Purple, no, Secret life of bees and the walking dead." I reply, "how about you?"

"Red, 2, iron man 3 and the walking dead-" before he can finish I cut him off.

"Did you say Iron man?" I stand I front of him as we come to a halt.

"Yeah, I'm kinda obsessed with superheroes, Iron man mainly." he 'flexes'

"Me too. I don't show it but I have almost every comic and shirt ever made. I have a huge wall poster and 3D iron man head coming out of my wall." I laugh

"That is so cool! I have the hand coming from the wall, you're a comic reader?" we continue to walk

"Nah, on Iron man." I shrug

"Any female heroes you like?" I add

"Wonder women." he replies immediately.

"What!? Me too! I was her last year for a halloween party!" I stop again

"Haha that's cool." he can't think of anything else to say.

I can tell he's into me but he can't think of much to say. He is more nervous then I am.

"Just... stop. Breath." I put my hands out and he takes a deep breath.

"You really don't have to be nervous around me, other girls maybe but not me." I assure him

"Yeah, but I don't know what to talk about." He shrugs

I agree

"This is all so, new to me. Usually girls come to me and we don't really date or anything because they're all so clingy- anyway, how about I pick you up tomorrow around 6:30?" he finally asks, my face flushes with excitement and redness.

"Okay. See you then!" I smile before awkwardly shaking his hand and walking away.

I begin to speed my walk when I know I'm out of Noah's sight.

"Em, can we talk excuse me." I gesture to the kids she's talking with and pull her aside

"He asked me out!" I grin

"Who? Noah!?" Her eyebrows raise
I nod, my smile disappears.

"Wait, I'm only 14! I've never been on a date and I can't- I'm not mature enough." I frown

"My first date was age 14, believe me you don't even look that young! Don't worry about it! He seems like a nice kid." she shrugs, I straight smile and she walks away.

I turn my head and find Chandler standing next to a group of kids talking To Rachel, he isn't involved in that conversation at all.

He looks at me desperate for attention.

I wave him over and we walk outside.

"Thank you so much for introducing me to Noah!" I jump up excitedly.

"I take it you guys hit it off?" he says stuffing his hands in his pockets and shrugging

"Amazing! We have a date tomorrow around 6!" I smile wildly, he seems overly shocked, I have no idea why but I grab his hand and we run to the trampoline

"Wanna play a game?" I ask twirling in the air.

"Sure." he agrees jumping over me

I Laugh
"I say a color, you have to reply with the one thing that comes in your mind with that color." I say

"Okay, example?" he adds

"Say a color." I shoot back at him

"Okay uhm, purple."

"Hippopotamus."

"Noooo, they're gray." he grins

"Ughh. when you lose you have to do a front flip." I laugh

"Okay, go!" we begin the game

"Orange."

"Orange-the fruit." we both laugh

"Okay... pink." I say

"Cotton candy." he replies

Now it's Chandler turn

"Red."

"Blood." we go for a good 2 minutes without mistakes, we begin to run out of colors so we re- say them but can't say the replies the same.

"Blue."

"The sky."

"Yellow."

"Urine." Chandler stops jumping, confused with my answer, I give him a look with my eyes bulging out

"Oh, okay let's keep going, red."
He spat

"Candy cane." is my reply

"Blue." I just said that but Oh well

"Snow." I stop jumping and give him the look, he thinks he's correct at first.

"Ugh." he groans before doing a flip and landing.

He lies there for a moment.

"Get up." I kick his shoe

"I'm done playing games." he crosses his fingers over top of his stomach and looks at the sky.

He looks up at me.

"Lay down. Look at the sky." He scoots over making room for me

"Uhm I-"

"Come on, I have a girlfriend and you have a boyfriend-"

"No I don't." I sigh

"Just.. lay down."

I do as told and we look at the sky,

Some silence between us, we're atleast 10 inches apart

"I think you should break up with Rachel." I say, and regret it as soon as he looks at me. Crazed by what just came out of my mouth.

"Come on Chandler. She is flirting so bad with other guys and you just sit there letting her! Do you even like her?" I roll on my side using my elbow to hoist my head up.

"Yeah! Of course I do! We've been together almost a year." he sits on his elbows

"Chandler. You can be honest with me." I show no expression

He lays back down

"I do, I just.. wish she would pay more attention to me." he admits

"I'm sorry I punched her." I say after a moment of silence

He laughs, I look at him shocked

"She probably deserved it." he continues laughing. Utter shock flashes over my face.

"CHANDLER!" I playfully smack his arm

"She can be a literal brt most times." he giggles

I roll my eyes and lay back down

"What's the time?" I ask

"It's only been 2 hours since you got here." he shrugs

"Wow. I'm getting hungry." I get up without a response from him, he does follow though.

We walk inside and I put some food on my plate.

"What do you want to drink?" he asks

"Cola and only cola." I respond

He gives me a glass bottle with a label Coca cola stained on the glass

"Where'd you get these antique bottles?" I ask

"Target had tons today. All different types of soda and fruit juices." he replies

"Awesome."

We both walk to a table beside his built in pool and eat.

After 20 minutes of eating we get into a conversation

We're laughing at a joke Chandler told me about the cast on set one day when the wicked witch shows up

"There you are I've been. Looking for you everywhere!" She says alittle too loudly.

"Wow Rachel over an hour and you're just noticing?" he rolls his eyes

"What are you doing with her?" she motions to me and I stand up, pushing my chair back with my legs

"I'm entertaining him. You're entertaining jocks." I cross my arms

"Oh pa LEASE. He doesn't need entertainment." she hoots back

"That isn't what he told me." I get closer to her and Chandler stands up

"Guys come on!" he pushes us away.

"Whatever. I'm leaving." I give Chandler a glare before pushing past the crowd who were waiting for a fight.

I enter the house and find Emily and we leave.
