Critical Reviews - what should I give in?

Ok, so I've just gone and asked a boy in my English Literature class if he'd take a look at some of my writing. Big step for me, who generally freaks out at anyone I know face-to-face reading any of my stories. So, next step, what should I give to him?

So I've narrowed it down to the following of my stories:
Dancing with Seagulls,
Shadowhand,
Spoutwell Lane,
Meaningless,
and Blood Will Tell, Poppy.

Spoutwell Lane is maybe cliched, Shadowhand is a rewritten Rumpelstilskin so perhaps not original enough, Meaningless was written a while ago so I've read it too many times to know whether it's any good or not - plus it has some stuff about abortion which I'm not sure will freak him out or not. Blood Will Tell, Poppy is rather insane. Dancing with Seagulls is perhaps the safest option, but I don't know whether it's also the least interesting!

I know my best writing is in my Tales of Colour series, but they all contain aspects of romantic love which might make him think that I fancy him. (which I do, but that isn't why I'm giving him the writing... well, maybe it is subconsciously. Ok, I am but I don't want him to get scared and run away.)

So basically, if anyone has a moment to tell me which seems best, please do! You don't have to read them - although that would be great, and I can promise it won't be too god-awful - the paragraph two above has the information which would probably lead you to a conclusion if you haven't time.

Help?
