"You're comfortable around me?" Tag asked, clearly surprised. She normally made be uncomfortable because of her shyness and awkwardness.

"I mean.. er, yeah, I guess I am," he said, turning around to face her. "It's easy to talk to you, that's all. Um... is that weird?"

"Well, to be quite honest, yes. It takes most people ages to be comfortable around me."
Except for Zippy, of course. Zippy was so talkative she had no trouble meeting and getting to know people. She had also forced Tag to talk back, which had been good for her.

"Oh, um... yeah, well, thanks for showing me the book," he said, still unable to meet her eyes. Now that he admitted he was comfortable, he suddenly became uncomfortable. Great.

"Anytime." She turned around, stood there for a second, then turned back around to face him.
"I sometimes go to the park to read."

"O-oh?" he muttered, finally looking at her. Did she really want to keep on talking to him after what he just pulled? "I-it's nice there." Specs nodded. "As long as you don't get bothered too much, I guess. That's why I like it here."
Oddly enough, he was glad she bothered him.

Tag took a deep breath, a small smile forming on her lips. "I read in here most of the time, too. I found quite a secret spot a few months ago. Lots of light, very little people."

"Would you mind showing me?" said Specs, getting excited once again. It was odd how easy it was for him to talk to her. "I swear I won't tell anyone or bother you there when I see you."

"Right this way." She said, heading toward the stairs. She went up two floors, then headed to the very back. She went down an aisle of books, then zig-zagged through a small hallway. At the end of the hallway was a small room with a few arm chairs, big windows, but no books.
"This is it!" She sat down in her favorite arm chair, feeling happier just by being there.

Specs stood at the entrance of the room, completely taken aback by the wide space and big open windows. In all his time in the library, he's never found a place like this.
"Wow..." he said, making his way over to an arm chair and taking a seat. "This is amazing! How in the world did you find this place?"

Tag chuckled a bit at the memory. "I saw another newsie in here once, I think his name is... Skittery? So, I ducked into that hall to avoid him. Then, I realized the hall actually led somewhere. I followed it and... Voila!"
She tucked her legs up underneath her, getting comfortable in her cozy secret spot.

"You're lucky finding a place like this," he smiled, still looking around. "Got it all to yourself, huh? I mean, not anymore, I guess..."

"As long as you don't tell anyone about it." She warned him, trying to look as serious as possible.

"I swear I won't!" said Specs, smirking as he put up his hand, boy scout style. "And besides, I get to see you here."
He grinned. Was he really flirting? So much for reading today.

Tag blushed immensely, her cheeks flaming hot with embarrassment. She had no idea what to do when a boy started flirting with her. One time, back in England, she tried to flirt back with Eddie Von Porter, and he laughed! Seriously, just laughed right in her face. So that was the end of that.
She opened her book and quietly flipped to the first page to start reading.
