The 27th of June seemed to be a rather promising day. I woke up to the alarm playing one of my favourite songs. The only bad thing about that is that those lyrics will be playing in my head all day long. Everywhere I go all I'll be singing is,"I really really really really really really like you and I want you to want me do you want me to." Such a catchy song. I remember the first time I heard it, it was the same night I meant Hunter and come to think of it I even dreamt about it last night.
I was sitting on a bench near the hall at foxtrot academy during one of the semester "shin digs" next to my closest childhood friend Frances. About an hour after the even started a guy left the hall singing to himself with all the joy of 8 year old boy. I recognised him from my history class. Frances caught me eyeing him and gave me the typical skeptical look, eyebrows raised and lips pursed.
"What?"I asked. She look at me again and said,"seriously Rena him? Sure he has nice arms and a pretty solid chest but that's about it, you can tell he doesn't have abs and he really is just average looking." Gee whiz she was judgemental. "So what?" I responded," life isn't all a out looks and I wasn't checking him out...well not much"
She looks at me and says,"Well maybe I should call him up then." I stared at her with a look of utter disbelief. Surely she must be joking. I'm not good with boys. I hate meeting new people. I never know what to say or do. "Hey you" she called," come up here." Oh god I can't believe she did that. How could she?
"Greetings ladies"he said with a cool calm and confident voice as he gave a slight bow. Oh my word that was adorable, a little dorky but cute. "Hey,"Frances said,"I'm Frances and this is Serena. "He looked at me as he stated,"Nice to meet you ladies, I'm Hunter." By jove he's adorable. Frances and I made brief eye contact. I could tell what she was thinking, she gave me that look that only she could give. She was about to leave and as the thought entered my head Frances stood up and sent to go flirt with a group of guys. Gee thanks for leaving me stranded Frances. I barely know the guy. I looked down and began to blush." So you're a shy one," He noted " well alright then I guess I'll just have to stand here until you talk." He lifted his leg up to the bench and looked me in the eyes. He looked like a little Captain Morgan. Eventually I caved in and we started talking the talking became flirting g and pretty soon we were cuddling on the bench and getting to know each other all night.
It's funny, now that I think about it if Frances didn't call him that night I may have never met Hunter. Maybe I should give her and Claire a call and have a Disney Marathon. That is a brilliant idea. I called my two favourite girls over, they both said they'd be there within the hour. Crap! I need to get dressed. I hop out of bed and run Into the shower. "Now I'm the king of the swingers oh. The jungle V.I.P. I've reached the top and had to stop and that's what's bothering me. I wanna be a man, man cub and stroll right into town and be just like the other men. I'm tired of monkeying around," I sang to my self. These Disney songs are way too catchy. Hunter really is transferring his bad Habits into my daily routine. Well it's time I get ready. I quickly dry up and open the bathroom windows it feels like a steam room in here. I quickly head upstairs to prep myself for the day ahead.
True to their word the girls arrived within the hour. Claire came In first and Frances followed soon after. We all sat on the couch and got under the blankets. It was a bit chilly today. We sat there debating what to watch for over twenty minutes but in the end we decided to watch Castle reruns. Best decision ever. Nothing beats Castle. I told the girls,"If Hunters friend's, Siya and Shannon were here I'm sure they would be quoting every line in this show word for word."
Claire looked at me and blushed as she she said," well I wouldn't mind listening to Siya talk all day, he's pretty cute"
Frances gave a smirk and said," it looks like little Claire has a crush."
"Shut up!" Squealed Claire,"he's a real sweetheart, he's too perfect. I mean he's smart, funny, witty, naughty and he listens."
"Not many guys really listen anymore," I conceded before I boasted," I'm just glad I found one who does."
"Lucky you," said Frances," anyway, who is Shannon?"
"Just one of Hunters friends,"I laughed as I said those words," she's a varsity student who's a little on the crazy side."We continued watching Castle till round about 4. Claire had to go job hunting while Frances said she had to go home and feed her dogs but she promised to be back by 8. I realised I hadn't gone for my morning run. I can't skip a day of exercise, Hunter has been improving his body and I promised I would as well. I get into my running tights and my favourite tight pink crop top. I'm about to go out when I realised that I forgot my arm band and my ipod. Silly me, how could I forget the most important item for a good relaxing run. I quickly run up stairs grab by band, earphones and Ipod.
I exit the house and see the green VW beetle again but this time parked next to the big tree across the road. Maybe he moved into the house or has a meeting with someone. I look at the bright green vehicle once again before I start my running playlist. I like starting out slow to get my body warmed up so my starting song is always a relaxing classic.
Today is some song by the police. As my feet hit the pavement the song starts playing."Every breath you take. Every move you make. Every bond you break. Every step you take. I'll be watching you."
