Me and Charlie spoke for a while making jokes and talking about school until we both decide to go to sleep.

I wake up in the morning to the smell of breakfast I started to remember what happened yesterday I still can't believe that I have a date with Charlie!

I wonder down the stairs to find Dylan sitting at the breakfast bar with his head in hands, and my mum dancing to the music in her earphones around the kitchen while my dad sits at the table with a big newspaper shaking his head.

"Morning beautiful!" my mum says with a smile. I just moan in response due to me not being awake long enough to have a conversation with anyone. Dylan picks up his phone after it vibrates in his hand, a smile starting to appear on his face. I'm talking like the Cheshire cat smile. He looks at the clock "Crap!" he mumbles as he brushes past me.

"I'm going out, be back later." She shouts "But I was cooking you..." mum gets cut of when the front door slams shut. "I will have it, mum don't worry." I say with a smile I am always so hungry in the mornings especially when it smells this good.

"I don't know what has got in to that boy." My dad says putting his newspaper down and wandering over to sit with me at the breakfast bar. "I have no idea" I lie knowing full well that it is Abigail.

While we eat our breakfast we talk about boring school and work stuff, I have got to the stage in school where all parents and other family members go on about is coursework and saying how near it is till I step into the real world.

I don't know about Lucy and my other friends but I can't wait to get out of school but I just want to go back to lower school and never grow up.

When I am back in my room it suddenly dawns on me what the hell do I wear I have never been on a date before. I decided to ask my friend Amber, me and Lucy met Amber on our first day of school we all became very close and best friends.

Whenever we have any problems our Facebook chat is like an online support group. She always knows what to say and do to help and make me feel better.

Me: Hey I need your assistance xx

I get a message back almost instantly.

Amber: Okay what is it? Xxx

Me: I have a date and I am clueless on what to wear xx

Amber: Really with who xx

Amber: It better not be James xx

Amber: Alex I swear if I am right xx

Me: No way you know I wouldn't I'm so over that jerk xx

Me: Its Charlie Jones the new boy xx

Amber: Oh yeah he's in our graphics class xx

Amber: Now I think of it he would take his eyes off of you xx

Me: Should I wear a dress? Xx

I change the subject

Amber: Yesss wear the black one with your red hoodie and your converse! Xx

Me: Yessss thank you so much xxxx

We talk for a bit on FaceTime while I am getting ready having a shower and do my make-up etc. I go for a natural make-up using my mothers in the nude eye shadow pallet. I also curl my hair which I have been doing a lot recently, when I do this my friends say I look different because I normally have my hair up or I just let it rest on my shoulders.

Once I am ready I look at the time on my phone, how is it already 13:50 it couldn't have taken that long. I check Facebook as I make my way to the front door, when I hear my mother's voice calling my name. I turn to see her by the kitchen door.

"Going out dear?" she said with a smile on her face. "Yeah just meeting up with a friend." "Okay, have fun!" she said turning away from me.

I open the door ready to step out into the hot sun when I look up to a surprised Charlie. He smiled at me which instantly spread onto my face.

"Hey Alex you look stunning!" he said starting to blush which only me blush back.

"Don't look to bad yourself." I joke Charlie was wearing a white top which clung to his body showing some of his muscles, with a grey hoodie which looked super soft. I felt the urge to just reach out and stroke his... snap out of it Alex.
