Section 509

I am in section 509, row cc, behind these fellow Virginia Techians. There is a little brunette and a more filled out brunette that I observe throughout the game. They're friends I assume, and the bigger of the two seems pretty outgoing, and pretty in to this VT game. She is wearing many Hokie accessories: hat, bracelets, lanyard, etc. She is repeatedly yelling things like "kick his ass!" towards the field. The tiny girl seems a bit more tame, but every once in a while, inspired by the other girl, busts a move or a cheer or something at a point of excitement. She has her "white out" shirt on, but with a nice pair of skinny jeans and a leather belt, with no Hokie accessories to be seen. During the second half of the game, this guy with straight but shaggy brown hair, a hat, a lip ring, and sunglasses swiftly navigates around and ends up in between the two brunettes. His subject of interest seemed to be more focused on the little brunette. They exchanged words and jokes, and hugs in which he rapidly moves his arms up and down her back (as if he's warming her). He turns and does this at least once to the other, more festive brunette, too, but I think she initiates at least one of these hugs. He remained here for about the rest of the game and seems rather hyper, cheering and dancing with the louder, fuller brunette, and trying to get the little one into it a bit more. Then at one point, this little blonde girls comes over, clearly trying to get this guy to cheer with her and give her a high-five. He didn't really respond, so she exchanged high-fives and cheering with the bigger outgoing brunette. Later on, this same blonde girl comes over to hang around this boy, seeming as if she also wants to hang out and cheer with the brunettes. The blonde one says something to the guy, and while she turns toward the game, the guy turns toward the little brunette and with a little smile says something to her. The blonde girl whips around and questions what he just said, but he denies saying anything. She eventually initiates a clingy hug. When it is time for the "Hokie Pokie," the blonde girl manages to back herself right in between the little brunette and the guy.

This observation of some kids watching a football game has made me question how old these kids are, if the little brunette is dating this guy, and if the blonde girl likes this guy. It seems almost clear to me the answers from my observations, but then again, one can never be too sure.
