"hey Sylvie!"

"hi Hobbs" she says as she gives me a quick hug. I'm floored. "so Hobbs what's up?" she asks.

"uh err I uh-" how do I tell my best friend hat the only thing I've been doing is thinking about her. "uhhh you know... not much," I can't hep starting turn bright red at my own awkwardness. Sylvie bursts out laughing.

"oh my god you are so weird!", she says lightly punching me on the arm, not knowing she set my heart on fire.

"come on I want ice-cream!" she runs out the door pulling me along with her. As we walk down the street a large bang makes us both jump. We turn around and see a moving truck by the house on the corner. A kid about our age walks around outside clearly in a bad mood.

He catches sight of us and starts walking over, I protectively put my arm around Sylvie who quickly shrugs it off. As the person gets closer, I can see that he has longish blond hair flipped to the side in a weird shaggy style. I can see that he's wearing a Depeche Mode t-shirt and I can see his old beat up red converse running across the street to us. I can also see that Sylvie's eyes have turned to hearts.

I hear a knock on the door and quickly open it to find Calvin standing on the other side my heart flutters. But he will never feel the same way about me as I do about him.

"Hi Sylvie!" Calvin says excitedly

"hey Hobbs" I say giving him a tight squeeze and nearly loosing control. I feel Calvin flinch and my heart break. " so what's up" I ask trying to remind myself that he's just a friend. Calvin trys to stutter out an answer and I crack up.

"ugh your such a weirdo" I laugh grabbing his hand and running out the door "come on I want Ice Cream". We start waling down the street and here a loud bang. I can feel the both of us jump and we turn the direction of the noise.

A kid with feathery blond hair starts walking towards us. I feel my pulse quicken and I cant stop staring at the new boy.
