Friends With Benefits || James Mcvey, The Vamps ||

t h r e e

It felt like forever for the bell to go. I felt insecure everytime James looked towards me. My hands turned clammy, my face went bright red, I couldn't focus and I thought he was judging me. Just before the bell was about to go I put the painted canvas on the drying rack and rested my back pack on both my shoulders. I could feel James follow my every step and he was hot on my heels with his steps matching mine. His lingering presence stick behind me causing me to be on edge. Outside, of the art room Connor was there to save me from killing myself because of the awkwardness , thank god, so I linked arms with him and speed walked  through the corridor.

"By then!" I could mearly heard James shout.

"What does he want?" Con wondered.

"He probably wasn't talking to me." I mumbled.

Dragging, Connor along he ignored it and we eventually got to form. The bell went indicting we should be there and Miss took the register. Me and Connor didn't talk much and in a few minutes after the register I went to Maths. I was in maths first and sat in a two seater table at the window. The rest of the class piled in and sat around the room, leaving my chair free. Miss Daniels started the lesson. A few minutes later James and Brad came in to the room. The only spare seats where next to me and this boy who apparently smells awful 24/7. Both of the boys rushed for the chair next to me. Brad sat down and James peeled him off the plastic chair then sat down. Miss looked up and told Brad to sit down next to the boy in front of us. When the teacher wasn't looking Brad would turn around and mouth words like 'Fuck You' or 'Dick Head'. To be honest I found it amusing. Well I did until Brad kept winking at me making me squirm in my seat. James realised and kicked the back of his chair making him stop. The boys didn't do anything else after it happened so I did the work.

"Remember to text me tonight." James whispered, as his hot breath ran down my ear then neck causing me to shiver and goose bumps to form on my arms.

I felt weak at the knees and if I was standing I would be in a heap on the floor. James could see this and a smirk played on the corners of his lips. My cheeks went a light shade of pink. I covered my face with my hands to hide it and hope he didn't realise.

"You look cute when you blush." James once again put his lip up to my ear causing the same effect as before.

I could feel some eyes burn into my back. Turning around, I saw the "school whore" Scarlett Johnson. She gave me the look of back off. James gave her the middle finger when miss wasn't looking making me hold in laughter. Maths passed by and it was time to go home. James walked with me out of the gate and kept reminding me to text him.

"James I will." I laughed and I gave him an awkward half hug.

If that makes any sense. After that he walked over to Brad who I could feel his eyes follow me. The caramel brown eyes travelled to the small of my back as I walked away. I could hear James ask him what he was looking at and no doubt they would end up arguing, but I was too far ahead so their muffled words turned to nothing. When at my front door I unlocked it then put my keys on the side counter in the hallway. I cooked some pasta, when it was boiled and drained I added leeks, cream cheese with some chicken. Half way through my meal there was a knock at the door. I left my food on the counter and opened the door to reveal the icy blue eyed boy that I have grown to love.

"Con con." I squealed in my basic American girl voice making the boy chuckl to him self, then moving to the side to let him in.

"Heyyyyyyyy." He dragged on."Where is your mum and dad?"

"Holiday." I replied.

"Yes Autumn I will stay at your house with you so your not lonely." Connor laughed unexpectedly then wrapped his arms around my waist as he rubbed his fluffy hair into my neck making me laugh.

"Connor Stop it." I laughed.

"Yes Autumn I know you love me." He smiled and continued to tickle my neck with his hair.

"Stop." I continued to laugh and he did.

Connor walked into the kitchen and started to cook bacon.

"Yes Connor you can cook bacon." I said sarcastically mimicing his actions earlier.

"Do you get all sarcastic with me missy." He spoke sternly pointing his finger at me.

"1 Your not my dad and 2 it's rude to point at people." I laughed finishing off my food.

It was then when I remembered that I needed to text James. I made his contact and saved it as James. Facing, my screen I stared at it blankly not knowing what to type. I can't exactly ask Connor as he doesn't know about James and he would surely have something to say about it.

To James -

Hi its Autumn.

From Autumn

I sent it and started thinking if it was the right thing to send. That was until I got a reply. God why am I so awkward?
