Douglas Matthews - 18 - Ghost

[drew-blair]

Why are you looking at me that way? I didn’t fucking do it.

[douglasmatthews]

Uh sorry.. I was just.. blanking, you know? Didn't mean to be staring.

[satine-prescott-deactivated2016]

They do, actually. But usually it’s because I’m fucking hot, or I kicked them in their no-no squares.

[douglasmatthews]

Ouch. Well, I do want to keep my no-no square in tact, so I'll play nice. I'm Douglas Matthews.

[madison-warner-deactivated20170]

You too, Douglas. 

No one that great around here to socialize with anyways, so I guess you took the smart path. 

[douglasmatthews]

Really? I guess I did then.

BUt you're interesting, so there's at least one person in town who's good to socialize with.

[satine-prescott-deactivated2016]

I don’t have to look where I’m going. I don’t give a shit if I bump into someone, only when they bump into me.

[douglasmatthews]

What a charming attitude you have. I bet all the boys fall to their knees before you.

[madison-warner-deactivated20170]

Madison. I’m Madison. 

I haven’t seen you around before. 

[douglasmatthews]

Nice to meet you, Madison. I've uh.. I've been around. I don't get out a lot. At all, really. Socializing isn't really my thing.

[fuckingangela2]

Unlikely. Everyone sees me, kid. It’s easier to believe that you bumped into me just so you’d have a reason to touch me. And well, I’m flattered.

[douglasmatthews]

Touch you? Why would I...

Oh right. Teenage girl, teenage boy. That thing. Uh.. no. I just really wasn't looking where I was going, sorry for the let down.

Thinking is dangerous, see? You ran into me. Next time you might not be so lucky—it could be a professional wrestler or something.

Nice to meet you. I’m Olivia.

[douglasmatthews]

I hear those guys are pretty nice outside the ring. I'll take my chances if I ever run into one.

Nice to meet you, Olivia. Hey, while I have someone here - do you happen to know library open hours? Is it open on the weekends?

[oliviaxbentley-blog]

It’s fine, I do that all the time. I, uh…are you alright?

[douglasmatthews]

Me? Yeah.. [Douglas trails off]

Thinking about stuff, you know how it is. I'm Douglas.

[douglasmatthews]

satine-prescott:

Well, maybe you should pay more attention to where you’re walking.

Yeah, maybe I should. Apologizes.

But you know, the path is wide enough for two. You clearly weren't looking, either.

[madison-warner-deactivated20170]

That’s alright, I’m used to it. 

Being overlooked I mean, it’s no big deal. 

[douglasmatthews]

[Douglas chuckles softly] Same here.

I'm Douglas, who're you?

[douglasmatthews]

Oh... I didn't see you there.
