Day 7 Assignment 7: Chose one of your characters and someone you met today (or in the past), place them in a scene and let them talk.

So the characters in this scene are Molly and "Quigley" (someone a very dear friend of mine dated for a while). I figured it would be funny because Molly doesn't handle awkward people or situations very well and "Quigley" is the epitome of awkward.

Awkwardly they sat across from each other in the busy diner waiting for their food. She stared at the table and straightened the silverware again. He was still staring out the window. She smiled sweetly and leaned forward propping her head up on her hands. “So, Quigley…um” his head snapped back to face her, and his awkward smile was back. “Yes?” his smile seemed even more uncomfortable and out of place when he talked. “Well I was just wondering what you were thinking about…” she smiled sweetly waiting for his response. His smile vanished for a moment, but hastily returned “I wasn’t thinking about anything, really.” She took a silent deep breath, and then smiled sweetly up at him. “Oh I’m sure you were thinking of something”. He just smiled back at her, but his eyes looked irritated. She tucked some of her long blond hair behind her ear trying not to look at him. “I hope our food gets here soon…what did you get again?” He glanced over at the kitchen and without looking at her replied “pancakes”. She sighed quietly and leaned back against the seat her arms folded.

Funny thought had it been Kip (Aaron's friend) or Angie (a waitress at the Sam's Diner) the reactions would have been much different. Kip would have walked out, and Angie would have talked about herself without noticing "Quigley's" irritation. Personally I would get annoyed with him and refused to talk to him or I would be sarcastic his smile really creeped me out...I could never tell what he was thinking. :)
