A Friendly Meeting [Private l Blake]

Running through the familiar streets of Magnolia town, Riley glanced at her young friend Theo, who was close behind her. She continued running till she reached the supermarket, where she came to a halt. Standing there momentarily, she panted heavily trying to catch her breath. Once her breath was back to it's normal pace, she stepped inside the supermarket. Walking over to the food section, she looked at the young wolf. "Theo, I can't believe I forgot to buy something to eat." Theo just simply wagged his tail. She stood there looking at the various items to buy and made sure that everything was in her budget.

Blake was walking around the supermarket when suddenly he saw a girl by the food section. He stayed back, he was nervous. "How do I even talk to a girl?" "What if I mess it up?" "Eh whatever." He walked over to her and casually grabbed some food. Blake noticed her face, she was beautiful. He blushed a little.

Riley's gaze shifted to the boy who stood beside her. He looked a few years younger than her. She went back to minding her business. Once she had got everything she needed, she looked over her groceries once again. She had missed something. A box of her favorite chocolates. She looked at the shelf again hoping for it to be there and just her luck..........the last of the stock was seated on the shelf. A smile made it's way onto her lips as she extended her hand to take the box.

Blake saw the girl start to walk away and went back to getting his food, he noticed chocolate on the shelf. He reached his hand out to grab it and he felt someone else's hand, he turned and saw the girl from before. Blake quickly took his hand away. His face was cherry red, "You can have it." He said with a smile. He continued getting the rest of the stuff on his list.

Riley looked at the boy. She couldn't help but laugh at the cute way he blushed when their hand touched. She really wanted those chocolates but she also didn't want to take them from the boy. She looked up at him and smiled "No, it's okay. You can have it. You took it first." She stood in front of the boy, waiting for his answer.

"No, it's okay." Blake stood in front of her scratching the back of his head. "They weren't for anything special so it's okay." Blake stood there looking like a moron. He wondered why he couldn't say anything more flirty towards her. He could see it, she was beautiful on the outside but on the inside she was a warrior. There was no doubt that she was strong so he didn't wanna screw things up. "Well I think I better get back to my guildhall. It's getting late. Maybe I'll see you around sometime. He winked at her before walking off quickly towards the Sabertooth guildhall. "Great job moron." He said to himself.

Riley stood there as the boy walked off. She just realized something. "Wait, What guild are you from?" She spoke but loud enough for the boy, who was a bit further away from her, to hear. She looked at Theo, wondering which guild the boy was from. "Maybe, he's from Sabertooth." She thought to herself.

Blake kept walking towards Sabertooth. "Well at least i'm safe from her now." "I really messed things up back there." "If I remember correctly, you're supposed to tell the girl you like her before screwing everything up." "I'm hopeless, my mom was really good at this type of stuff, but she's gone now so whatever." He reached doors of the guildhall known as Sabertooth. He opened them and walked inside, he went straight to a table and put his head down. "What if she hates me?" "Nah, I'll just look around for her tomorrow." Blake pulled out a book and began to read.

Riley was kind of disappointed that she did not find out the boy's guild but nonetheless, headed home. She went into her hotel room and put down her groceries. Theo jumped on the comfortable mattress that lay on the wooden planks. Riley walked into the bathroom before stripping out of her attire and jumping into the shower. After the warm water had washed away the sweat and dirt, she dried herself and changed into a pair of black jeans with a blue button down. She quickly tied her long hair into a ponytail and rushed out with Theo. Soon she arrived at the Sabertooth guildhall. She opened the door and her eyes landed on the boy from earlier.

Blake had heard the door open and when he looked to see who it was his jaw dropped. He couldn't believe it, the girl from earlier was standing at the door. "No way, is she in Saber?" "This has to stop." He told himself. He closed his book and walked up to the girl. He brushed his hair down to cover one of his eyes. "What's up, the name's Blake." He looked at the girl and wondered what he just did.

Riley frowned at what the boy did. "Um.....Blake, that's a nice name." She smiled. She honestly had no idea what to do. She figured he was flirting with her but she didn't know how to react. She looked at him "So you're a member of Sabertooth. Huh?" Looks like her guess was correct. She just Extended her hand forward. "My name is Riley." She looks at Theo "And this is my pet, Theo."

"Well then Riley." He gripped her hand softly and shook it. Her hands were cold like ice but Blake didn't mind. "So, are you a wizard?" "What kind of magic do you have?" "Something to do with ice i'm guessing." "I don't exactly have mine yet so i'm kinda behind but ill get it soon." "On the other hand, i'm a really good martial artist."

"How'd you guess it was related to Ice?" Riley wondered. She then glanced at Theo 'Maybe he found out because of Theo, he is an arctic wolf after all.' She shook her head. "Ah, yes. I'm the Ice dragon slayer." She smiles at him."Anyways, I haven't seen you around. Have you recently joined the guild?"

"Yeah I just joined a couple weeks ago." "The people here are nice and it's a fun place to be." He squatted down to her level. "I especially like what i'm seeing now." He smiled. He stood up. "So maybe i'll stick around."

Riley raised her eyebrow at him when he said those words. She could guess by his looks that he was younger than her. "Sorry kid, but you're too young for me." She looked at him before walking around him and moving to the center of the guild hall, with Theo following her. She glanced back to see what the boy's reaction was.

Blake blinked a couple times and then burst into laughter. He couldn't stop pointing and laughing. "Are you serious, you actually thought I was hitting on you." "That's hillarious!" "No, I was just messing with you." "Anyways, what are you up to?" "Maybe we could hang out sometime, he tried to restrain himself from laughing but it was barely working "As friends." He said through tears of laughter

Blake blinked a couple times and then burst into laughter. He couldn't stop pointing and laughing. "Are you serious, you actually thought I was hitting on you." "That's hillarious!" "No, I was just messing with you." "Anyways, what are you up to?" "Maybe we could hang out sometime, he tried to restrain himself from laughing but it was barely working "As friends." He said through tears of laughter

He blinked a couple times before he burst into laughter. He rolled on the floor pointing and laughing. He stood up and wiped a tear away. "You seriously thought I was hitting on you." "Why would I do that, it's not that you're ugly it's just that I like messing with people." "Don't sweat it, I really wanna be your friend though, you seem like a cool person." "I know, you can be my big sister." Hw smiled and laughed

He blinked a coup?e times before bursting into laughter. "Are you serious, you thought I was hitting on you." "Not at all, I was just messing with you." "You're a really cool person." "I know, you can be my big sister!"

Riley looked at him with confusion plastered on her face. She Chuckled at the fact that she got fooled. When he offered to be her brother, she slightly hesitated 'If i say yes I would be starting a brother harem.' She sighed before saying "Siblings is a little too far fetched. how about we start as friends?"

"Sure thing." Blake walked over to a table and sat down. He pulled a book out of his bag, "How to have fun" The book read. He began to read the book flipping through the pages like it was nothing, whenever Blake read he felt empowered. Once he was done he looked at his watch, "Oh crap, it's already 6:30!" Blake dashed over to Riley and said goodbye. He was running down the streets of Magnolia to the marketplace. Blake stopped at his stand. "Good, i made it." He put his apron on and yelled out, "The fried octopus stand is open!" A crowd of people rushed to get in line.

Riley was expecting to have a little chat or something but when he took out his book and began reading, the black haired girl simply sat opposite him and started playing with Theo. She looked up at him as he seemed to be in a hurry. She then waved goodbye and he exited the guild. Guess she was back to doing what she normally does when she's bored. She saw as Theo ran up to the other pets and started playing. Riley lifted her legs and they landed on the table. Her short legs were crossed and rested on the wooden table as she took the latest version of sorcerer weekly and began reading.
