Paige looked thoughful and smile back at him in a distracted sort of way. "You cared." She muttered matter-o-factly and rolled her eyes at her own insightful stupdity.
"...F..un?" The confused teen asked looking around. "With.. Jr. Mints?" She questioned and blinked a few times, watching him survey the area. "What exactly are you planning?" She narrowed her eyebrows, but smiled and nibbled on her twizzler.

Ray gave her a smirk, "Just watch," he said slowly, sitting up a little as he dumped a few Jr. Mints in his hands; "See that couple down there?" he whispered, pointing to a boy in a letterman jacket with his bleachblonde girlfriend; "That's one of the kids who give us mutants heck at school," he explained; "But he's in for it."
Ray arched his wrist back, took aim, and then tossed the mints. They struck home, causing the girl to shreek and the boy to yelp. Ray immediately ducked, feeling pain but too busy masking his laughter with a series of coughs. The Jockl stood up, looking irate, and was about to leave when someone yelled at him to sit down and let it go.

Paige went wide-eyed and immediatly ducked down. Sam never would have done it, Jason would have in a heartbeat. She had the immediate instinct to duck, rather than freeze like some people, due to her little brother tossing rocks into the fancy horse pastures. It was cruel to toss rocks at the poor horses, sure, but watching their owners flip out was almost worth it.
This however wasn't a horse or a rock, but a jock and a junior mint, and Paige had to muffled her laughter with both hands.
"Well in that case." She said before laughing again and sitting up straight. "Yeah, I'd love to 'have some fun.'"
It only took Paige a minute to find a girl she disliked, which was rather sad considering she'd only been in Bayville for about a week. She had detention because of this girl, as much as she'd tried to explain that her power worked whenever and wherever it wanted, she'd been given detention for using her powers in school. She had also been given detention for skipping the rest of her periods, after being booted out of school because she 'wouldn't stop using her power' and told not to come back until she 'turned it off.'
"Lemme see that." She grumbled and took a candy from Ray, taking careful aim before she let the candy fly in the direction of the annoying brunette.

Ray was wide-eyed as he watched her. He hadn't expected her to just jump right to the occasion. Then again, that's probably why he liked her. His was proud to see the Jr. Mint hit home, and gave her an approving smile.
"That's my girl!" he said, preparing to throw more mints at another jock he'd spoted some three rows up.
He really couldn't stand the Jocks. They were the veritable mutant police at the high school. But tonight, O tonight they'd get what was comign to them.
Well, at least in the form of Jr. Mints.

Paige smiled at the surprised look on the girls face, and quickly turned away. She could feel herself blushing at the 'my girl' comment. Yes, they were going out, that made liking him slightly less awkward, but it didn't change the fact that she had a huge crush on him.
"Nice aim." She commented with an approving smile, and took two candies. She ate one while she looked for another victim. The movie had started, and that meant the people were distracted...

"Why thank you," he said smugly; "Ooh hey, the movie started!" he said a little loudly, and popcorn was tossed in his direction.
"Shuddup down in front, Crisp!"
Ray turned and looked to see a friend from school, Nate. "Hey, jerk!" he said with mock ferocity; "Don't mess with my hair!" he chucked a buncha Jr. Mints, and then there was more popcorn. Ray acted overpowered, coughing as one peice landed in hsi mouth. Okay, Nate got this one.
calmign down Ray turned, giving Paige a goofy grin; "That was Nate," he explained quickly.
Then there was a cat call whistle, and Ray turned to shoot his friend a warning glare, thankful the room was dark because he'd started to blush again.

Paige ducked down in her seat and came back up once Ray had 'died.' "Oh really?" She question ins mock surprise.
"I figured he was another jock." She teased, and felt herself go crimson at the cat call. "He's great..." The teen mumbled and focused on the movie.

Ray looked at her, then at the movie. Soon they were halfway through it. He glanced at Paige, realizing he loved her laugh. It was delicate and soft, but then again, sometimes it wasn't. His laugh was nothing special, one could hardly call it a laugh. He wasn't sure why it was like that, but he decided he'd much rather hear Paige's than his own anyday.
During a monalogue, Ray took a chance. Slowly, he slipped his hand over Paige's, and laced his fingers through hers. He went on watching the movie, laughing lightly at a funny scene, hoping she wouldn't shy away from the little move.

Paige's eyes quickly darted to the soft touch, and the feel of his fingers over and between hers. She smiled softly, warmly, and wrapped her fingers gently around his. She looked up, giving a slightly distracted laugh at the scene as well.
About fifteen minutes later the girl remember something she'd been meaning to ask him. Something Sam had practically BEGGED her not to do, subtle begging sure, but it was still begging. "Ray?" She questioned quietly, and slightly unsure of herself. She wasn't even sure he'd be remotely interested, it didn't seem like his type of thing anyway.

"Hmmm?" Ray mumbled, looking at her. "Yeah?" he asked, worried if something was wrong when he saw she was uncertain over something.

"When school lets out me an' Sam are goin' tah visit home for a while. Ah was wonderin' if you'd be interested in comin' with us?" Paige glanced over at the movie while she spoke, and then back at Ray. "I understand if you don't want to come, I mean... It's not half as interesting as here."

Ray blinked; "Really?" he asked. "I mean... it wouldn't be a bad thing? I mean, I wouldn't want to be a hindrance or anything..." he fumbled with his words, looking down.
He would love to go with Paige and Sam, but he had never really been invited to anything so... so major. He looked back up at Paige, not knowing what to say.
"It's just, Paige I dunno how I'd be... How I'd act," he looked down; "I'm not that well-adjusted to those kinda things. I mean, I'd try my hardest, but I wouldn't want to embarass anybody..."

Paige looked thoughtful and nodded her head in understanding. "Ah yes. Because I wanted you to act like an entirely different person so my family could get to know your secret alter-ego." The girl teased and smiled.
"Yes, really. No, having you come with us isn't a bad thing. And... C." She paused and laughed a little. "So long as you don't get drunk and jump around screaming some outlandish chant, I don't think you could do anything to top my brothers... though they're probably capable of such a thing..." She trailed off with a slight giggle at the thought of Jay jumping around on the roof screaming like a monkey.

Ray laughed uneasily; "Yeah, well..." he coughed; "That's just it. I wouldn't hide much. I mean, I'd be more closed off than I am around you 'n' Sam..." he paused, then firmly said; "But anyway, I'd love to go."
Of course he was going to go anyway, now that she had asked. It would be different, being around a family, but he would deal.

"Yay!" Paige cheered and smiled at him before giving him a hug. "It'll be ahwsome. I mean.. Jay's prob'ly gonna like yah just as much as Sam in terms of the boyfriend thing, but he's younger 'n' Sam so it shouldn't be that weird. Elisabeth'll like you..." She trailed off with a slightly annoyed look, but quickly brushed it off. "Oh this'll be great." She assured both Ray and herself.
