Hitting... on her? ... Date? Was she okay? Did she take him for a fool? [i]Surely[/i] she knew he didn't mean it in that context. ... Right? The confused boy turned to look at her, but she was suddenly invading his personal space to the extreme. Their faces were close enough for him to feel her breath, and vice versa. Jeremy was trembling with a beet red face, and his eyes were wide open. It was a miracle he didn't accidentally let some of his magic set off, as he was completely out of it. By the time she pulled her face away and explained herself, it took him a few seconds to register what had happened. 

Jeremy sighed before taking off his glasses and de-fogging them with his scarf. [color=a0410d][i]'I don't know what's worse; this demeanor, or a more uptight one,'[/i][/color] he thought to himself as he returned his glasses to his face. [color=a0410d]"Please don't misunderstand me, Rena. I don't like you like that; to be honest, I think you and I both know just how out of my league you are. It's just, not repaying you would be rude. If you want pizza, that's fine,"[/color] he declared, readjusting his laptop in his arms. [color=a0410d]"Don't expect it to blow you away, though. I don't get out much, and I only know of one place."[/color]

What was she even doing near the library anyway? She didn't seem like the type to read for leisure. He's clearly been wrong before, though. [color=a0410d]"Can I at least get my bag first...? I don't sit too far from the entrance,"[/color] he asked as he nodded his head towards the library, secretly not wanting to blow this chance he's stumbled upon. Half of him was dumbfounded she took a liking to him, but the other half was worried he'd screw up and upset her. Jeremy quietly cursed himself for being such a shut-in.
