Is he interested in me?

So yesterday we were at Barnes and Nobles for my little brother, and this guy walked by me and we made eye contact and he smiled. (I'm a guy also) Later on I saw the guy he kept staring at me and later I stared back. We would awkwardly look away from each other's eyes from across the room. Every time we would look in each other's eyes I would feel something like a little spark, but then we left without a word to each other.

Ever had a the one that got away experience?

So yesterday we were at Barnes and Nobles for my little brother, and this guy walked by me and we made eye contact and he smiled. (I'm a guy also) Later on I saw the guy he kept staring at me and later I stared back. We would awkwardly look away from each other's eyes from across the room. Every time we would look in each other's eyes I would feel something like a little spark, but then we left without a word to the stranger. There's my story. :/ Any stories or encouragement to tell? Thanks!

How many days/hours are part time Barnes and Noble employees expected to work?

I was thinking of applying to my local Barnes and Noble for a part time job. It's quite a busy location, and they are looking for cafe and bookselling jobs. However, this would be my first job experience, and as a high school student/athlete, my hours wouldn't be as flexible, especially in the fall (probably 3-4 days till early september, 2-3 days till early november.) How many days and hours do relatively busy barnes and noble stores expect their part-time employees to work? Thanks!

Manga volumes and their animes?

So 2 days ago I finished Vampire knight the anime series (season 2) so I've been looking on the internet trying to find the volume I should read so I could catch up to wear season 2 ended. I decide I should read volume 11, but then i'm asking if i'll be confused of some details in volume 11. Because I know in anime they don't put down everything.

Also with Highschool of the dead, loved the anime. Sad knowing it was just one season. What volume should I read (out of all 7) to catch up to wear Highschool of the dead ended. Or at least come close to wear highschool of the dead ended. I heard That highschool of the dead episodes only took certain parts out of certain chapters in volume 1. So should I read volume 2? Sorry for being confusing, lol.

With Special A. I don't know which volumes to start on to wear season 1 ended. If I made a mistake in what im saying, feel free to tell me what volumes I should be reading. I'm really confused on what to read since I loved the animes a lot.

I've also read red data girl, I've seen there are 3 volumes (i looked on barnes & nobles website) Did season 1 of red data girl (the last) cover volume 1? I just need a lil' guidance on what to read, thanks if you help me out:D
Added (1). so should I just read volume 2- I meant to say this lol. I also meant to say I watched red data girl, not read, sorry xD
Added (2). it won't let me award best answer to someone, sorry about that, i'll keep trying, thanks for the info!

Nook color vs Kindle fire? - 2

My Kindle Fire has been having charging isses. I'm alreay on my 2nd one in about 1.5 years. :/ I cracked the screen a little bit in the corner, recently, too. Oops. I don't even know how it got there. I'm thinking about buying a new one, or should I go with Nook Color? I mostly like to get on the net, sometimes read books, and watch movies on Netflix.

Which is better in your opinion? Thanks in advance!
