[h2][color=olivedrab]ISAAC CHAPEL[/color][/h2] [hr][hr] Isaac, for his part, went out to his truck and grabbed his clothes to change into before heading inside. After a quick stop at the bathroom, Isaac came out in his homecoming garb. He was never really a fan of dressing up, but it seemed appropriate to mix things up a little for Homecoming. So Isaac came out of the restroom in jeans, boots, a brown belt, a green and very lightly plaid shirt, and a gray suit coat. He ran a comb through his hair and his beard before putting it away and making one more run out to his car to put away his other clothes. Isaac walked towards the gym and looked around for anyone he knew, stopping mid-stride and feeling his mouth go dry when he saw Bernie. [i]Oh no,[/i] he thought to himself, feeling a wave of nerves wash over him. Somehow he managed to take a spot next to her, opposite of Alice. What he couldn't do was keep his face from reddening. Fuck. He'd thought this would be a really great night to do this but now he was just intimidated and... No. Isaac balled up a fist and took a deep breath. He was going to talk to her. Before he could get himself too nervous to speak. He had to do it. As soon as possible. [color=olivedrab]"Hey Berns,"[/color] he felt himself say before he could even stop himself, [color=olivedrab]"...uh,"[/color] his bravado fell a little flat for a second and his face only got more red.[color=olivedrab] "Um... can I... can I talk to you for a minute?"[/color] He indicated the corner as a place where maybe they could talk for a second. [color=olivedrab]"Just... real quick. Before I can talk myself out of it."[/color] Isaac stood there for as long as it took, looking at Bernie almost apologetically, but with an unusually determined glint to his eye. [color=olivedrab]"If you don't mind, of course."[/color]
