Why Him?

 

 

 

"honey could you also pass me the monopoly game" my mum asked.

I sighed could this day get any worse? My cousins had come round and now we were all playing Board games. I grabbed the Monopoly box and tossed it onto the table while slouching down in my chair. I heard someone laughing and looked to see my best friend Carter Laughing. My mum glared at me.

"April don't be so rude when we have guests!" my mum yelled at me. When my mum looked away I poked my tongue out at her.

"April what are you going to be?" my brother asked.

"The hat, Hats are cool" I answered not taking my eyes off Carter. The chatter carried on but everything in my mind seemed to go in slow motion as I watched Carter talk. I was staring at him. I really needed to stop doing that, but I just couldn't help myself! The way he looks, the way he smiles, damn even the way he talks is sexy.

The I felt my brother flick my head.

"Luke what was that for!" I yelled getting seriously pissed. All these box games were making me go insane!

"Its your go" he answered.

"April, don't yell at your brother" my mum butted in "now go wash up"

My brother was 2 years older than me, he was 18 and yet he yelled at me, I got in trouble. I stood up from my seat and quietly walked into the kitchen and started washing the dishes muttering to myself.

I swear my mum hated me.

God I miss my dad.

A tear starting forming in my eye but I wiped it away. I was not going to cry, I never did.

"need some help with that?"

I turned to see Carter leaning against the door frame smirking. God he looked so sexy, possibly a sex GOD. I wish I could run over and just kiss him. But this was the real world.

"Yeah thanks" I whispered turning back to the sink and washing the last dish. Onto the plates.

　

When we had nearly finished I sighed. Then Carter sighed.

Not the copying game, I hated when he did that. That's how we met. At school I had my sandwich in my hand, this beautiful ham sandwich then Carter came over and stole it laughing. Usually with boys I would run away, but with Carter it felt different. I kicked him where it hurts, so the sandwich fell out of his little hand and into mine.

"OW" he wailed.

I giggled. "I'm April" I said holding out my hand.

And that's how it all started our friendship, whenever I think back, I smile. There are so many memories we have shared that I will remember forever.

Then I got flicked with water, sending me out of my thoughts. It was carter flicking water at me. "CARTER!" I moaned. Then he flicked me again. I grabbed a cup and filled it with water, pretending to drink it. But when he turned around I shoved it down his top.

"Whoops"

But when he turned round his white top was see-through. Someone catch me now! I wasn't going to deny it, I thought my best friend was sexy. I can even admit I was in love with him. But that absolutely couldn't happen. I've read stories about girls telling their best friends they love them, it turned out ugly.

If I lost Carter, I don't know what would happen, but it wouldn't be very good. So lets keep it this way?

"April!" I heard my mum yell.

"what have you done to this poor boy?" she asked staring at him astonished.

"He flicked me first..." I muttered.

"Ms Jones, this was all my..." Carter started but my mother had to butt in.

"No Carter, I'm not letting you take the blame for this, April you'll clean this up now!" she said stomping off.

"Thanks" I said angrily to Carter grabbing the kitchen paper and wiping the water that was on the floor. Then I saw Carter crouch down with paper in his hand.

"you thought I wasn't going to help my best friend?" he asked smiling.

GOD could he get anymore sweeter? I smiled back.

　

"Well thanks for helping me with all that" I said "and staying with me" I smiled.

"No problem"

"Oh and April" he said turning back. Oh my god this was the moment I'd been waiting for!

"see you tomorrow at school"

DANG

I nodded then turned back and closed my door. I really thought.

I ran up to my bedroom before My mum notices I'm not doing anything and yell at me. I lay on my bed sighing. If only Dad was here, but he died when I was 5. I missed him like hell.

I looked at the paintings around my wall. They were all pictures of a little girl and a boy holding hands. The boy had Dark Black ear-length hair, with brown eyes which had a glint of green. His nose was shaped perfectly along with his lips.

Yep you guessed correctly. It was Carter.

I then walked over to the mirror and looked at the reflection. My Curly blonde hair was nothing special and my blue eyes were just dull. I had a few freckles here and there but who doesn't? My nose is quite big, and my lips are just fine, I have nothing against my lips. My body was a slim size 8.

"APRIL!" I heard my mother yell for the 3rd time today. Oh god what had I done this time?
