Consequences

Butterflies| Part 8

The lessons where gruelling long, all I could think about was seeing Carter after school.
When the final bell finally went off I leapt from my seat. Ivy behind me looked startled. "Where are you going so eager?" She got up after me
"I'm going to see Carter, he wanted to see me after school" I grinned.
"Ah ok well I will call you later and you need to give me all the details".
I rushed through the halls at what felt like 100 miles per hour and got to the front gates I'm mere moments. He wasn't there. I felt I pang of disappointment but then realised that his last lesson was on the other side of the school and by know the corridors would be full of people for him to wade through. A steady stream of pupils where escaping from the front doors and after about five minutes I saw the characteristic sandy blond hair above all the other heads.
As he got closer I could tell he had spotted me and I gave him a little wave. He smiled and looked down at his feet then back at me. I felt butterflies in my stomach.
"Hey" he walked over to me and leaned against the fence. I leaned against it next to him "hi".
"How was your afternoon?" He asked as he put his arm around my shoulders gently. I loved the way he made me feel safe.
"Very boring, you"
" i leaned that Mr Flich has been married nine times" he laughed
"Is that even possible?"
"Surely at some point he wont be allowed to get married anymore"
We laughed together for a few minutes.
"Can I hold your hand?" He looked down into my eyes as he asked and I felt like I was melting. "Yeah" he took my hand and rubbed his thumb along the back of it, sending chills through my body. "Would you like me to walk you home" it was only a twenty minute walk to my house from school so I agreed. And we started walking and chatting along the street. He never took his hand away from mine.I felt so special.
"Who was that?" Mum quizzed me as soon as I walked through the door. She watched Carter walk away from the house through the window. "Oh that was Carter" my cheeks turned pink. I knew that I had told mum about my crush on Carter but I had never told her about the kiss. "Oooo" she winked at me "is that the boy you where obsessed with?"
"Mum!" I squealed kicking off my shoes and shrugging of my jumper. "And yes it is ok" I replied smugly. "Well that's nice, he's quite tall isn't he" i laughed she smiled innocently " yeah he is". I rushed into the living room and kissed my Nana on the cheek before skipping up the stairs and into my room.
