When we were 18

Don't tell anyone about us

Charlie's POV:

I woke up this morning to the smell of fresh pancakes cooking I sat up in bed and grabbed my phone off my bedside table, I unlocked it and smiled when I saw I had a message from my boyfriend Ben which said. 

Ben xx ;) Morning Charlie Happy Birthday. Meet me in the library and I'll give you your birthday present'

I smiled before replying 'Morning Ben. Thank you that's really kind, I'll meet you in the library at 7:30 xx', once I'd texted Ben back I got out of bed and got dressed into my school uniform and grabbed my backpack before heading downstairs for breakfast. My mum, Dad, Tori and Oliver were all sat around the table they all shouted 'Happy Birthday' as I walked into the room, I smiled and said 'Thank you'. 

After having breakfast I opened my presents and cards my main present from my parents was a pair of custom converse with pastel coloured leaves on them, Tori got me a pair of new headphones to use when I'm playing the drums and Oliver got me a set of new drawing pencils and a sketchbook. I was so happy with all my presents I hugged everyone and then left with Tori to get the bus to school once I got to school I made my way through to the corridors and upstairs to the library I walked in expecting to find Ben waiting for me but there was nobody else here, and then my phone vibrated I took it out of my pocket and saw a new message from Ben which said.

Ben xx ;)

Sorry can we meet up at break in the music room x

I thought it was odd that Ben only put one kiss normally he puts two, but I pushed it from my mind and typed out a response. 

Me :) 

Yeah that's fine. I love you xx

I put my phone back into my coat pocket and made my way out of the library and back downstairs to my new form room, I took a deep breath and walked in the teacher looked up and said 'Ah if it isn't Charlie Spring, happy new year. Have you come to join the ranks of Hamlet house'. I shifted on my feet and said 'Looks like it sir' the teacher looked down at the piece of paper and said 'Let me see where did I put you on the seating plan. Oh yes your over there next to Nicholas Nelson, he's in the same year as you he's also the school's Rugby star so I'm sure you two will find something to talk about'. 

I picked up my new school Diary and timetable before walking over to the table in the far corner, I took my coat off and placed my bag down under the table before sitting down as I sat down I looked at him and said 'Hi' part of me expected him to tell me get lost but instead he smiled and said 'Hi'.

Nick's POV:

I was sat in my seat in my new form room doodling on the back pages of my school diary when this boy roughly my age came and sat next to me and I'm not going to lie he was kinda cute, I could tell he was feeling nervous as he said 'Hi' to me but I smiled back at him and said 'Hi'. In between now and registration we talked and got to know each-other and I discovered that his name was Charlie Spring that name rung a bell I looked at him and said 'Omg your the school's running star, your time has never been beaten by any other student'. 

Charlie smiled and said 'I bet you could beat me I mean your the school's rugby star so you must be a fast runner' I shrugged my shoulders and said 'I'm not bad but I'm not as good as you'. After registration the bell rung and everyone started leaving the form room, I stood up and grabbed my books I pushed my chair under the table and said 'What lessons have you got this morning' Charlie looked at his timetable and said 'oh I've got maths and then English before break'. 

In my heart I felt abit disappointed that we didn't have class together this morning I looked at Charlie and said 'That's a shame I've got history and then maths. I'll see you at afternoon registration', Charlie smiled and said 'Yeah I'll see you later on'.
