I watch as Amie and that new boy walks in. Why is she with him. Apparently she was helping him.

She sits down next to me.
"Why were you with, him?" I ask, not knowing why I cared. But I did.
"I just said, I was showing him around." Amie says.
"For the whole of break?" I ask, she couldn't have been showing him around for the whole of break.
"Why do you care it's not like we're together or anything." Amie says bluntly. It felt like someone had just stabbed me in the heart, I didn't want her to know that though, so I just kept quiet.

I wanted to talk to her but I didn't know how. Mr Brown was then handing out permission slips and told us to write someone's name we'd like to share a room with. I wrote Sam's name down. I didn't bother at looking who Amie put down.

"Where are we going?" Lilah asked, Lilah is one of our mates but hangout with her friends.
"We will be going to Barcelona to learn about their history." Mr brown answers. Boring, I think to myself.

The bell rings dismissing class, I walk out with my mates, but I see Amie hanging out with that new kid. I just scoff at the sight, before walking away.

By the end of the day, me and Amie haven't spoken. I want to but what if I make things worse, I just ignore the urge to talk to her. I'll text her when I get home, I think to myself. I hear my phone ping. I open the message, it's from Luke.

Luke:
Luke: dude just talk to her!

Me: what the fuck are you on about?

Luke: you can't stay mad at her forever.

Me: I know I can't. But she can.

Luke: so what that's it?

Me: what's it?

Luke: dude we all know you like her!

Me: I don't!

Luke: sure. Anyways if you want to get with her then just be nice to her and the new kid Nate. You're kinda gonna have to.

Me: why do I need to be nice to him?

Luke: it's basically Amie's friend and Sam is taking a liking to him to.

Me: whatever.

Luke: all I'm saying is give him a chance...like you gave Amie a chance.

Me: but Amie's different.

Luke: how?

Me: I've known her since year 7 that's how.

Luke: yeah and your only just starting to be nice to her.

Me: shut up.

I close my phone, what does he mean I like Amie! I don't! Like, what? Maybe I'm overthinking this. Yeah I'm overthinking.

Mr Brown then dismisses the class and it's the end of the day.

When I get home, I go to my room. I begin to look through my bag for the permission slip. I eventually find it and go to my father's office.

I knock on the door waiting for a reply.
"Come in!" I hear my father say. As I walk into the office he looks up. "Ah, son. What do I owe the pleasure?" My father sits up straight on his chair. I hand him the permission slip, he takes it and looks at it.
"It's for a school trip to Barcelona." I say. My father continues to scan the paper.
"Alright, I'll just sign it. But first, you do want to go? It's in the October half term." My father confirms with me.
"Yes please, father." I say. He nods as he signs the form.
"Here you go." He says handing me back the slip, I take it back from him.
"Thank you." I say before leaving the office.

I go to my room and go to sleep.
