The new boy

Tour

I took him around school on the tour- the halls I dread seeing every day. I then got to know him a tiny bit more. He is sooooooooooooo nice. He likes football and Painting- he has 2 sisters, Amelia (8) and Olivia (18).  He lives with his mum, dad and 2 sisters (obviously) He is really passionate about what he likes- he went on about football for like 10 minutes and talked about ALL the paintings hes ever made. It was really cute. In a friend way. I do not have a crush on him. We also exchanged numbers so that we can text each other. In asked if he had any social media apps/accounts and he said no- kind of strange to be honest. But some peoples parents wont let them on social media even at 15 so kind of makes sense- ish. I wont think about it.

Its friday today so i might ask if he wants to hang out on the weekend- mabye go into town. As friends obviously. 

[The next day]

I am going into town with Jason today so I might as well make myself look presentable just in case we see someone from school. He is going to meet me outside my house in exactly six hours. we are going to Greenwood Park and then mabye get some food from Greggs or a cheap cafe. 

{few hours later}

*knock knock knock*

'EMILY YOUR FRIENDS HERE!!!' my mum shouted. 

' i know i heard the door one second!!' i shouted back

I ran down the stairs enthusiastically with butterflies in my stomach (of exitement-- not because I have a crush on him) I have never really had any friends, I am quite tall and skinny. I have always been bullied for my height- comments like: How's the weather up there? and people shouting across the halls: HEY! LANKY GIRL! and OI LONG LEGS!! 

Anyway we went to green street (full of shops) and decided to go to a cafe 

It was a really nice place and had clay figures every where of mushrooms and frogs- they also had pressed flowers in frames all along the walls. 

A waitress came over with menus and asked: 'what drinks would you like?' 

I looked at the drinks menu on the wall and said: 'Do you know what you want?'

'uhh yeah but you go first' 

'ok- can i get a pumpkin spice latte please?'

'of course- and now you??'

'I'll have an orange cordial'

As I was chatting to him I noticed he had this sort of smile on his face while we were together- what if he likes me!? No thats impossible for a cute boy like that to have a crush on ME. I have started to realise mabye I do have a crush on him? I do

oh no. here we go...
