The One

Your POV

I was sat next to Georgie and Ellie on a bench in the park near my house when a group of about 9 boys were walking towards us all laughing and joking. As they walked passed, the one with the afro glanced over at us. I caught his look and I knew there was a spark. Quickly looking down I saw Ellie and Georgie giggling to each other and nudging me and I knew just what they were laughing at.

"What are you laughing at ?" I asked knowing I was slowly going redder and redder.

"You and that boy...we saw you" They said in sync. They could see my face going bright red and pursued their opportunity to make me even more embarrassed.

"Do you want to marry him (your name)" they said sarcastically.

Even though the truthful answer was yes. For the sake of my dignity, I lied to them. I've never done this to my two best friends. I would usually tell them everything but I'm not certain on my feelings about him yet and I wasn't ready to have the micky taken out of me.

"Psshh...Of course not I have such better taste in boys"

They could tell I was quite clearly lying but they got the idea I wasn't in the mood and dropped the conversation.

Perri's POV

I was just with the rest of the lads having a mess about in the park when I saw three girls sat on the bench. I recognised them from school. One of them really stood out. She had glossy brown hair placed delicately on her shoulders in waves. She was beautiful. I wanted to look at her to see if I could recognise her more fully, so I told the guys I wanted to go to the new pizza place to eat which meant we had to take the path going directly past them.

As my chance came I got more and more nervous. I didn't want to seem like a stalker cause then there'd be no way she'd like me. Well not as much as I like her anyway.

As we got closer I decided to just take a glance over. So as the girl came closer and closer I quickly looked over. When I saw her I realised she was looking straight back at me. I abruptly directed my sight back to the rest of the group and I knew exactly what was coming next. As we turned the corner I began to hear Ash singing louder and louder,

"Perri likes that girl, Perri likes that girl!"

"Shut up Ash" I said in a stroppy tone but these guys are my best friends I can't stay mad at them.

"ASK HER OUT! ASK HER OUT!" they all chanted even louder with all 9 of them shouting it. I just hoped she couldn't hear.

"I don't even know her" I said "Plus I don't like her"

"Yes you do, you gave her the look" Sam said "you know" Sam did a poor impression of the look I do when I like someone, with his eyes wide and his jaw dropped like he was about to drool.

I gave him a slap across the top of his arm and the rest of them knew that I didn't want to hear anything else in the conversation.
