Jason was glad he had offered the doughnut as a catalyst for them to get off on a good start. After she accepted, he took a seat next to her. Jason was a little disappointed when he heard he couldn't see Miriam's drawing, but was utterly surprised she saw him in the play. "You saw The Curious Savage, huh? No ones ever really recognized me from the shows. It's always fun playing a crazy person, even if it gets a little sad. I'm glad it brought laughter to you." Jason said in a very sincere way.

Miriam was in the middle of a sentence, then, it seemed she fell asleep. Jason almost jumped when she woke up 5 seconds later. "Hehe, okay Miriam. I'm Jason Fitzgerald. You can call me Jason, or Jay. I'm cool with both." He said with a smile. She past the weird test with flying colors, he could now allow the conversation to continue.

She commented on his book. "Yeah, I know what you mean. I believe I have a grasp on it now, after all this is the fourth time Ive read it." He said jokingly. A girl with the same taste of book that he did. Jason couldn't believe that it was possible. He quickly recovered from his astonishment when she mentioned her book. He had never heard of it, but it sounded interesting. She then said the silly notion that she was talking too much.

"I believe you are talking just the right amount for a starter conversation with a person who shares a similar interest with you. Now if I had asked you about the weather, then yes, you would be. Since that is not the case, I bid thee, speak more." Jason said in a kidding manner. "Honestly, I feel kind of special that you are talking to me. I never see you talk in class, which is good, we're in their to learn not to socialize. But, the only time I see you talking too people is when your showing up assholes, which I love by the way. Ive always assumed you just have very high standards when it comes too socializing, which are always good to have. It seems even the highest standards can be overcome with a genuine interest and deep fried circular dough." Jason said with a smile on his face. He hoped he hadn't offended her by saying any of that, he was praising her in reality. He had only spoken to her for a few moments, but in those few moments, they had connected in an odd way, she was a cool person. Jason thought this was the perfect opportunity to bring up the strange occurrence.

"Hey Miriam, you know how your pencil caught fire? Well, something weird happened to me too. I was doing a shadow puppet in the theater and it started growing and all of the lights were dimming, but the second I stopped doing the puppet, all of the lights came back on. So........please don't kick my in the groin and run because you think I'm crazy. I'm not entirely sure why I even just told you. It just seemed like.........I don't know, that you would understand? Do you know what i mean?"
