What do you think? No good, or has potential?

It's nothing really, just an excerpt from something I'm writing. I wanted to know how good my skills are.

He chose a dry spot near the bank, and sat down in the prickly grass, breathing in the earthy scent around him. 'I really should come here more often...' he thought.

He looked at his watch again. 'It's only 8:18? Humph, this'll take forever.' He cupped the side of his face with a hand, resting his elbow on his knee. 'Though I wonder why she wants to do this? She's an amateur fisher, so she can't really expect to win this. Maybe she thinks I'll help her? No, that can't be. Pigtails is pretty brainless, but she knows I don't just help her if she asks. I must have told her a hundred times already. Surely she wouldn't forget that easily...' Crouching forward more, he furrowed his brow in concentration. 'What could she be getting at?' His other hand wandered toward the ground, and began fiddling with blades of grass.

'Wait! She's always going on about how she wants to be friends, so... Does that mean she asked me here because... That crazy girl, does she actually want... To spend time with me?'

The mere notion struck a wave of ice- cold fear into his belly, but he couldn't dislodge it from his mind. He began pulling at the blades of grass harder, jerking them around in frustration. 'Oh come on, don't be so pessimistic! Maybe she finally realizes that you can't be anything but rivals, so she wants to get serious about competing... In her own, incredibly flawed, terribly thought of way. Either way, as much as I speculate, I don't think I could ever know what goes on in that tiny, jumbled brain of hers...'

Jamie sighed. "I really don't understand women..."

"Why's that?" asked an innocent voice.

"I- Aaaah!" he yelped, jerking upward. As he turned, he saw Tina's eyes, warm and brown, peer into his own. She was bent over, her head tilted to the side, looking at him with curiosity.

"Back off will ya? Geez," he muttered. "Almost gave me a heart attack. Where do you get off, sneaking up behind people like that?"

"Well, at least I don't talk to myself!" she laughed.
