The mall is for nerds too ya know (Ray)

Hotwire had spent the better portion of his Saturday hanging at the mall. He had accumulated some money by cutting back on some luxuries. He had gone to the electronics depot and picked up a new soldering Iron and some components. He had then swung by the gaming store and picked up the new "Legend of Zohra: Flute of Infinity" Game that he had been waiting for for more than a year.

"Life is good"

Ray was walking through the mall with some friends from school who thought she was cool. She was wearing a sports jacket (which stated Turbo on the back), skinny jeans, a blue T, and glasses were placed on her head. She casually walked threw the mall talking to the people she was in line with, most people were sport players, and they start to spread out. Ray went her separate way and ended up walking towards the video game store.

Ray ran into a guy and fell. "Ouch." Ray groaned rubbing her arm in some pain.

"What in newton?" Hotwire mumbled as he got up.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a girl his age on the floor in front of him. He stood up and walked over to her before holding his hand out.

"I... uhm... need a hand?"

Ray took the guy's hand and moaned, She didn't need to get hurt. She had a flying competition coming up soon! She rubbed her side one time then looked at the guy she hit. "Erm.. Thanks." Rasy said awkwardly not taking help from others often.

"Here." Hotwire said, putting all his weight into his back to pull her off the floor.

'man I'm weak'

He then noticed his bag of electrical components had split, and now they were scattered on the floor.

"Aghhh."

Hotwire bent down and began picking them up as fast as he could... but there were a few hundred components... he was going to be there a while.

Ray flicked her fingers, a gust of wind pushed the pile of components together so it would be easier for him to pick them up. She covered quickly by coughing then helping him pick up his gadgets. "Oh, Um.. Sorry about that." Ray said awkwardly handing the gadgets to him.

"Oh ah... no... it's my fault..." Hotwire said picking up the rest of the components.

While a civilian, hotwire was quite the humble person... though he did retain that certain awkwardness with girls.

Ray caught a glimpse of the Zelda video game and squealed. "What!Legend of Zohra: Flute of Infinity already came out! Man I need to keep up with this stuff!!!" Ray cheered looking into the video game store then back at the video game. Her nerd side was reveilved and she hoped no one she knew was around to see that. "This Crazy awesome!" Ray cheered again!

"Uh... yeah... I had to preorder it like three months ago to get this advanced copy."

He held out a small handheld gaming system.

"I plan on finding a nice quiet bench to play it on... so very sorry for bumping into you."

Hotwire grabbed his bags and began walking off. He looked down at the bag of components.

'Those parts were surprisingly easy to pick up... huh."

Ray watched him walk off. She jerked around and blushed. "Hey umm.." Ray ran into the store and grabbed a pen in a holder on the desk. She ran back out, quite fast, and wrote her number on his hand. "Ray," Ray introduced herself turning around and pointing too her last name on her jacket "Turbo!" Ray said smiling. She then winked and walked off, disappearing in the crowd.

Hotwire stared in awe at the writing scribbled on his hand. Di-did he just score her number... over a video game?

He continued walking through the stores with a strange look on his face. As soon as he walked out of the mall, he looked to the sky and yelled out this time.

"Life is good!!!"
