'it's just one of those things that catch your eye.'

"Excusez-moi, mademoiselle?" A deep voice followed by a gentle shake awoken Clementine from her sleep, she dreamt of her life in London but forget one major detail. Her fake relationship.

Fluttering her eyes open, she found her self with her head upon a man's shoulder. "Gosh. I am so so sorry." Lifting her head she saw the confused gaze on his face, then she realised the man was french, "Je suis vraiment désolée."

The man politely got up from his isle seat and made his way to the exit after he collected his carry on from the overhead section. She looked around realising she was one of the last to get off with a couple of people still filing out.

Wondering where her friend had got to, she found the answer looking a few metres behind her. As Remi booked last minute she had to be seated a few rows back from Clemmie. Remi was now walking towards the girl ,seating down, whilst carrying her own and Clementines carry on bags.

"Well you look absolutely flushed." The friend giggled whilst trying to carry both bags at the same time.

"That was excruciating." She stood up from the middle seat making her way to the isle. "Thank you, Remi." She gracefully took the bag which dragged the girl down in seconds.

"What are you even carrying in there?"

"All of my life. Oh and the dignity that just poured out of me only a few moments ago." Both girls sniggered at Clemmies humouring response.

"Ladies, may you make your way out, please." One of the many flight attendants came walking up the walk space.

"We coming."

The cold, morning summer air makes the hairs on her arms stand tall. Walking down the steps leading to London concrete she took in the view of the sun rising as the world started to wake up. As her feet touched solid ground she took her phone off of airplane mode, Clementine clicked on to WhatsApp to text Freya that they have finally arrived.

Her and Freya have been talking over the last few days about meeting up for coffee and helping her settle in and to catch up with each other due to the countless years apart. Freya insisted on picking her and Remi up because they couldn't wait to see each other.

Minutes later, strolling to baggage claim her phone buzzed in her pocket.

Frey Frey.                    5 seconds ago.

 Hey Clem, I'll be waiting at the east terminal exit pick up lane. Can't wait to see you, haven't seen you in YEARS!! lol. See ya in a bit little one.

Her and Freya where born only days apart, but Clemmie was still the same height she was since she was fourteen. Her friend would always make fun of her for it but it was only fun and games. Hence one of the many nicknames she was given, 'little one'.

The luggage belt went round and round not showing her suitcases for a long moment. Whilst talking about what takeaway to get because she didn't have any food in, they spotted their luggage.

"There." Remi pointed to the two bags next to each other going past them. They both ran past groups of people collecting their own stuff, saying their apologies and thank you's.

Remi pulled off one of Clemmies suitcases but couldn't get the next one in time. As Clementine went to try and reach her other bag her hand got hold of the bag but it was too heavy for the small girls arms to pick up.

Suddenly a boy helped her take the bag of the never ending rotation. "There you go." He spoke placing the bag down not yet to lay eyes on her.

"Thank you, nearly got dragged along for a second." She sighed watching the tall boy turn around.

He was stunned at what he laid his eyes on. She was to. He was faced with a petite girl, with gorgeous, big green eyes, that were glued to his. Ruffling his hand through his dirty blonde hair with the other nervously scratching his chest through his blue hoodie. His mind had many words to say but his voice couldn't speak them. "I-I... We wouldn't want that now would w- we."

Her laugh echoed through his ears as she shook her head in laughter. "We certainly wouldn't want that to happen." She spoke looking at the boy towering over her.

The boy took in all her details: the way her bangs hang in her eye's, her lips curving at the sides, her eyes shining in the li-.

"So..." Clementines curiosity built upon her, she wanted to know the boys name. But her phone beeped inside her pocket. She took the phone out as she could feel the stare of the boys bright blue eyes on her figure.

Remi: Who is cutie over there? *cheeky grin*

Remi: *heart eyes* he is checking you outtttt

She gave a quick glance over her shoulder to find her best friend chuckling to herself. Many people looking at her but she didn't seem flustered at all. If the roles where switched she would want to bolt straight out of there.

"S-so what should I call you then..." He gave an awkward kind of laugh.

Clementine wanted to tell the cute boy her name but then her words got interrupted by her thoughts -the thought of the contract and her supposedly so called boyfriend she had.

The boy in front of Clemmie seemed very awkward and nervous. And in fact he felt that way to. He didn't know why he was awkward when talking with girls but he just had to get to know the person and warm up to them and he hoped he would be able to with the small girl in front of him.

Even though she could sense the aroma of awkward coming off of him she found it cute and adorable. She didn't know why, it's just one of those things that catch your eye.

She could at least say her name. She could at least be friendly to other people, its not like she couldn't speak to another living soul that catches her eye. If thats in the contract then Clementine made the wrong decision, "Hey, we got to get going." The conversation with the boy was cut of with the sound of Remi's voice.

"Oh yeah yeah, sorry." She felt the blood rise to the tops of her cheeks, as she was starting to get tugged away from the blue eyed boy.

"You're blushing." Remi spoke in a hushed sound.

"I. I got to go, see you around."

"Yeah, yeah of course." the boy scratched his chest again.

When the girls where a distance apart, Clemmie dragging one of the bags and Remi pulling the other, Clementine spoke up, "hey if anyone heard you say th-"

"If anyone knew who you were and saw you flirting with a boy then it would be bad for the contract. I did you a favour."

"Lets just meet Freya before Cash's unreasonable managers ideas get me into trouble... And I was not flirting. I will probably never see him again, anyway."
