Untitled love song

Chapter 22

SCARLETT'S P.O.V

"Will you be my-"

"Henry! Mate!"

You have got to be kidding me...

I panicked and ran into the tent to find Jess, leaving Henry to talk to Jack. Jess was in the tent compartment, myself and her were supposed to be sharing...making out with Charlie.

"Ew ew gross! Please remove yourselves from each other, I'm having a crisis."

"Allergic reaction to foundation?"

"Needed a wee couldn't hold it in and wet yourself?"

"Came here to confess your undying lesbian love for me?" Jess and Charlie high-fived and Jessie's creativity.

"No, no, NO! I think Henry just asked me out." I muttered the last part of my sentence nervously.

"WHAT?!"

"But then I ran away..."

"WHAT?!"

"Because Jack turned up before he could finish..."

"WHAT?!"

"Please say something other than what!" I snapped at the two goof balls.

"Sorry Scar," the two of them gave me their best puppy dog eyes.

"I know, I know, you're both idiots, now help me!"

"Right soldiers! Scarlett needs to respond to Henry's question, but we need to keep it short, snappy but not completely destroy the boy's confidence. Now are we all clear on the brief? Good! Let's workshop people." Jess had jumped to her feet and was pacing up and down the tent whilst Charlie and I sat in front of her like schoolchildren. Jess scratched her chin as she amerced herself deep in thought.

"I've got it! How's about 'yes'? He'll know what it means and it has an air of mystic about it."

"You got all that from one word?" I questioned Jess causing Charlie to giggle.

"Just shut up and text him! The poor boy's probably going insane right now."

Me: Yes

"Lovely. Now how about we do my makeup? And then let's get our party on!" Jess grinned at me and I cringed, "You literally couldn't have said anything less embarrassing, I winked as Jessie whacked me with her flip flop.

20 minutes later I'd re applied mine and Jessie's glitter and shoved a jumper on top of my playsuit so it looked like shorts.

"You ready?" Charlie poked his head round the tent. "Nice jumper Scarlett Wilson."

I blushed. "I didn't think you'd mind..."

"Of course I don't...unless Jess does?" We both looked towards Jessie.

"Hmm? What? No of course I don't! A) the girl is my best friend, and B) she has a boyfriend!"

"Did someone say something about Scarlett having a boyfriend?" Henry appeared beside Charlie grinning like a loon.

I felt my cheeks begin to burn as he looked at me.

"Umm...I...hi?" I just about managed to form those words.

"Hey Girl."

I grinned as I couldn't make out any more words. Why did this boy have this effect on me?

"Right! Come on before these two start undressing one another with their eyes, everyone's sat outside drinking before we go into the arena!" Charlie grinned.
