The Girl with the Golden Curls

Bananas

*Mason's P. O. V*
The sun hits her face through the car window so that the tears on her face glisten. "What did I do wrong?" She cries. I can't meet her gaze so I say, "it's not your fault, Juliet. It's me" she scoffs and wipes her face. "Don't give me that crap" she spits at me. "Just tell me what is wrong with me." I sigh and slowly look at her, "Juliet you've done nothing wrong, I just need some time apart right now." She rolls her eyes at me and opens the car door. "Whatever, I'm keeping your sweatshirts because I know you will come crawling back to me." She shoots at me and then slams the door shut. I let out a huge sigh and lean my head back onto the headrest.  I put the car into gear and start to drive away when I hear something hit my car, then another, and then another. I park my car and slowly get out to look at what hit my car. I see a dent in my car and then I spot Juliet a feet yards behind me with a pile of rocks in her arms and a smirk on her face. I give her an icy glare and then get back into my car and drive away. I pull on to Matts street and I notice a moving van in front of the house next to Matts house. I park my car in front of his house and climb up the steps to his door. Right before I am about to turn the doorknob I see a van pull up in front of the house next door. I guess these are Matts new neighbors. I watch as the family starts he pile out of the car. First a women with a very young baby in her arms and then following her a man with a toddler clinging to his hand. Next comes a boy who seems to be in his preteens, then an older girl who looks about my age. There is no denying that she is stunning, with strait blonde hair and blue eyes but she seems to know that too and I hate that. That seems to be all of them so I turn toward the door but then I see one last person come out of the van. I turn to look at her and I can't help but stare. She isn't as pretty as the other girl but there is something about her that keeps me looking. She has golden curls that are pulled back into a ponytail, and light grey eyes, she has on a sweatshirt and jeans. She sees me looking at her and she gives me an honest smile. I smile back but then quickly turn back to the door and open it. "Matt I am here!" I yell, dropping my backpack by the front door. He comes running down the stairs with a huge grin on his face. He asks me "did you see my new neighbor?" I nod at him and he whispers "hot damn, am I right?" I laugh and shove him in the arm. "Dude you broke up with Juliet right?" He asks me. I nod and say "she took it pretty hard." Matt says "who cares? Now that she's out of the way, you can get this new girl. I hear she is joining our school tomorrow and she is in our grade. Dude, you're a smoke you can get any girl you want." I laugh and say "yeah I know." I walk into his kitchen look out the window, the girl with the golden curls is in the room directly across from Matts kitchen, "um, who is she?" I ask Matt. "I don't know and I don't really care, she is the hot girls sister, she's a year younger than us though." He replies. I looks up at her one more time before we both head up to his room. Once we get up there I hear Matt say "Dudeee, look" pointing to the window in the other house. I see that it is the blonde girl and it must be her new room. "Can you believe my luck?" He laughs. " Anyway, wanna sleep over tonight, we can look at the girl through her window, maybe we will see her naked" he teases. I fake a smile and answer "sure let me just text my mom" I take out my phone and tell my mom then quickly put it away again. I walk toward Matts window and look toward the other house, the blonde girl looks up at me and gives me wave and a flirty wink. I don't do anything in response but just walk away from the window. "What was that?" Matt asks. I shake my head in response and flop down on his bed. That night, Matt is already asleep and I am struggling to find a way to fall asleep. I can't stop thinking about the girl with the golden curls, I don't know what it is about her but I can't put my mind at rest. Finally I pull out my phone and start to delete all the pictures of Juliet when I get a text from an unknown number, it says: •You're hot, I'm hot, lets hang out.• I look towards the window and I see the blonde girl looking out the window and toward me. She gives me a small wave with her phone. I text back and say •how did you get this number• I quickly get a response that says •Now why would I tell you that• I sigh and turn my phone off. I roll over and finally I drift off the sleep. When I finally wake up I look at the clock that reads 6:32, I sigh and shake Matt awake. "What do you want. I was dreaming about the girl with the blonde hair." He says groggily. I laugh and say "we have to go to school." He  lets out a huge moan and I go into the bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror, my dark brown hair is sitting flat on my head so I take out Matts gel and run it through my hair. I pull off the shirt I slept in and put on a grey one that Matt let me borrow. I walk out of the bathroom and head down to the kitchen. Matts parents have gone on a cruise so it's just us in the house. I grab a muffin and look up toward the window to see the girl with the golden curls laughing while she is peeling a banana, her grey eyes glistening with happiness. I can't help but smile and I hear Matt behind me saying "what the hell are you smiling at?" I quickly look down at my muffin and say "absolutely nothing." He rolls his eyes and says "alright well let's get rolling." I nod and grab my backpack from the doorway and we walk out of his house and down the steps, just to be greeted with a yell from the porch next door "Alice! Hurry the hell up!" The blonde girl yells from the porch. The girl with the golden curls quickly runs out of the door and says "Sorry Britney." Alice, that's her name. The blonde girl, Britney, spots me on the porch and gives me a wave. She quickly walks down the porch, her heels making a large amount of noise as she does it and walks over to where I am standing. She extends her hand to me and says "Hi, I'm Britney, you probably already know that though." She winks at me. I shake her hand and say "Mason, pleasure." She giggles and answers "Oh I already know. You're the hot one I was texting last night." Matt looks at me with his mouth hanging open and I laugh. Matt cuts in and says "So would you like a ride?" She nods and we head toward the car. I notice that Alice is already down the street and I say "you know what, you go ahead, I am going to walk." She gives me a pout and says "I will come with you." I shake my head "No, go with Matt" she groans and opens the car door. I turn around and eventually I hear them drive away. I start the run toward Alice and stop when I am next to her. Suddenly I am overcome with nerves. What, I think, Mason Jones doesn't get nervous. I look over at Alice, "S-so, I'm Mason." I stutter. I mentally face palm myself and she lets out a laugh. "I am Alice, nice to meet you, don't take this the wrong way but why are you walking with me?" She asks. That's a great question. "Um, no one should walk alone on the their first day of school." Nice one, Mason, I think sarcastically. "Oh well thanks." She responds. Eventually we make it to school and I couldn't be more thankful.
