If Kevin had initially felt weird about the situation he was in, then his current feeling could probably be best described as downright embarrassed. He hadn't expected Terrance to react to his suggestion the way he did. "I thought carpooling would be a good idea," he repeated and bit his tongue a little. What in the world was wrong with him? He was acting like a nervous little school boy.

"Well, truth be told, it wouldn't make much of a difference to me," he said. "I just thought that since I go to the library everyday to write my programs and you work there, it would be easier for you to just let me drive you. And I could use the company, too."

I'm trying to be nice here! And save my face too... God, this is way too confusing for me. Kevin was fuming internally. He was not used to being so uncertain about himself. The only other time this had happened was in high school, when he'd had his first crush and he hadn't liked the feeling back then either.
