Nick was strolling through Shiny Park just basically killing time before the arcade tournament started, he decided to check his phone and realized that the lovely Shizuka had just text him back! Nick felt himself grinning like an idiot and calmed himself down as he began to text back

[i][color=0072bc]Sounds awesome Shiz! Can I meet you at the  Shine City Aquarium at 2:30? I'll try and wear something nice haha! see you there xx[/color][/i]


Nick realised he didnt have time to change when he saw it was already 1:10pm! Time flew so fast, he was daydreaming about the upcoming tournament so much that he missed his radio show he was supposed to do. Hopefully he will be able to get in on the retro gaming tournament after seeing Shizuka today, Nick absolutely LOVED being this busy, it made him feel more important. He breathed in some fresh air and began to think about his dating life...

[color=8493ca][i](hmmmm I dont know if Shizuka likes me in the same way that I like her, maybe she's just open to hanging out as anything and doesnt see it in a dating away at all....sadly there is only one way to find out......Maybe she likes someone else? Theres been a large influx of attractive guys into Shine City lately...maybe someone is with Shizuka now......maybe someone is with [b]Nori[/b] now...[/i])[/color]

Nick shook his head in frustration for even thinking about her, he had to keep his mind on task... busy day today, he popped out some lime flavored bubble gum and began to start up his radio broadcast app on his phone, but then decided against it. He could feel his mind getting bogged down with memories about her....and decided to check his BookFace page for any cute girl friend suggestions.

[color=0072bc]So who's online.....hmmm [b]Ayane Lawson?[/b] wow nice picture, definately add! I wonder if she knows who I am?[/color]

Nick began grinning to himself again as he indulged in social media, starting to make his way towards the Aquarium early.

Hi boss, just wanted to say I saw your post, but I won't be having Shizuka react to it yet IC, since I don't want it to be 1:10pm yet in Shizuka's timeline, meaning she can't have gotten Nick's reply text yet.

As for how she feels about Nick, it's purely platonic right now, and since she knows he admires women regularly on his radio show, it will be pretty hard for him to convince her that she's 'special' to him.  She also has a deeply ingrained modesty that almost comes off as a sense of inferiority; she simply doesn't think people are attracted to her because she's not outgoing.
