Liam looked down at his phone, "My friend Charlotte wants to go to Subway, coming?"
I felt unsure, I barely know Sassy Cat, but he's so kind it's like an anchor weighing me down, so I agreed to go. We met Charlotte at Subway, I didn't feel like eating, I'd just ate chips and drank an Oreo milkshake from Shakeaway. Charlotte had long brown hair and dark eyes, outstandingly beautiful. She asked, "So you know Liam?"
I replied, nervously, "Yeh... Well, we met like a month ago and I only know a few things about him. Like he's called Liam but likes me calling him Sassy Cat, as well as that he's excited to die." I thought; I don't even know how old he is.
She smiled, "Liam and I haven't known each other long either, but I can tell you, he's one hyper person."
I don't think she understands why I call him Sassy Cat, I don't think she understands that I'd rather call him Sassy Kitty. "Anyway, you like him? Before you think about dating him, he's gay." she called
Sassy Cat turned so he was facing me, "I'm not gay. Emma here is just my Sassy Kitty, you jealous?"
Charlotte looked at the floor, "Nope, not jealous."
Immediately I thought: she's jealous.

After Subway we agreed to go back to where we had the chips because apparently Charlotte's friend was there. Today's been one hell of a loop round town, it's like we're on a tour. Charlotte ran down the street to her friend, leaving me and Liam alone. I asked him, "Liam, how old are you?"
He laughed, "You ask loads of questions, me, I'm 14. How old are you, Sassy Kitty?"
"I'm 14, 15 in January next year."
"Same here, Sassy Kitty! What day? I'm 2nd"
I looked at the floor, "Damn, you're older than me! I'm 6th January."
He grinned a grin that made him look like he'd won a trophy. Sassy Kitty, I like that name.

The girl's friend smiled and waved, "Heya, you are?"
"E-" I was interrupted
Liam looked and me and smiled broadly, "Her name's Sassy Kitty."
Charlotte's friend looked really confused, "Hi then, I'm Lucy, so, what's your sob story?"
I sighed, "Honestly, my whole life."
We exchanged real life issues whilst sat on the wall. Oddly, I felt like Liam was watching me the whole time. Today's been amazing. I turned on my phone and looked at the time, 17:58, I jumped off the wall, "I'm sorry, but I really have to go. It's been nice meeting you guys."
I turned away from them and walked a few paces down the pavement before hearing Liam call back to them, "I have to go as well, I'll see you guys soon."
He was then standing by my side, shoulder to shoulder. "You want me to walk you home?"
I laughed, "Dream on! Anyway, I'm getting the bus."
"Then can I sit next to you on the bus?"
"Sure, whatever."
