I kept replaying that moment in my head again and again for at least a week. Why did I have to be stupid? you don't just talk to people you barely even know about their tattoos and the way they look! I'd been so stupid. She never wanted to speak to me, i'd made a complete mess, made her tidy up and then asked stupid questions. She probably hates me.
To be honest though i'd thought about Melody so much that I felt I already knew her. Although that turned out to be a pain instead. Now i'd tried to be too personal and wrecked any chance I could have had.
I'm sure she'd smiled at me though. It was just for a second but she gave me this cute little smile, right before it dropped. Surely this means that she likes me? Or was I just imagining it? Of course I was. She hates you Jamie. I wanted to talk to my mates about the whole melody issue but I knew that they'd find it hilarious and cause alot of trouble with that sort of information. They weren't exactly the nicest of people when it came to that.
In the past before Melody i'd never really had this kind of problem. In the school I was known for dating a fair few girls and I could just speak to them and ask them out as I pleased. i admit that sometimes I just wanted a girlfriend and didn't look after them very well but I was over that now. I Hadn't had a girlfriend for a few months now and I quite liked it. I'd been asked out by Charlotte Turner and even Ruby Fellows, who was a great girl but Melody was the only one I wanted now and it wouldn't be like my last relationships. I promised myself that.
It was a cold Saturday morning so I decided to head into town to fetch a couple of things. I went a different way for once, heading nearer the shore in order to take a look at the sea and the scenery on the way. I plugged my skull candy headphones into my ipod and turned up the music as loud as i could, desperate to drown out the thoughts in my head. I power walked past the benches, up the stairs into the hustle and bustle of the people running around the town centre.
it didn't take me long to find everything that i needed and I even found enough time to get a couple of CDs I had my eye on for a while. I gave the cash to the woman and headed out of the store. I headed in the direction of the journey home but soon found myself distracted by the idea of a chocolate milkshake. With the past few weeks i'd had then I think it's about time I gave myself a treat.
I ordered my usual milkshake and settled down on one pf the padded chocolate brown chairs near the window, still listening to my music. I seethe shadow of another person go past me and sit in the chair opposite. I sit quietly for a while before looking up. There sat across from me is the girl from school. Yes the girl that hates me.
Except this time she looked alot happier. Maybe she'd calmed down since I last saw her. Maybe she'd have something good happen in her life. I don't know...
"Hey" she said quietly as she looked up at me
"um hi" I said, not quite sure what she wanted with me.
"I don't think I've introduced myself properly" She held out her hand "i'm Amber"
I stared at the open hand. I saw Amber looking less and less pleased so i shook her hand weakly.
" Look I'm trying to be nice here and forget what went on last time" she replied suddenly.
I stared at her " look can we please not bring that up again" I said quickly.
She looked surprised at my response and gave me a funny look. Amber really was odd.
"Fine"
I went back to drinking my milkshake. Amber picked up hers, having a quick sip and continued to talk again. Wow this girl doesn't give up.
