Christie's POV
There has been an awkward silence for the last 5 minutes. The way to my house was blocked by an accident, so we had to take a longer route. Now a long awkward walk that awaits me, has somehow taken over my cheery spirit and brought it to a not so nice mood.
- So, ah, Connor... How did you like the school? - Seriously? That's all i got? I hope he doesnt think i'm retarted or something
- It was nice, i got a new friend- Great, the idiot dares to grin and decides to melt my insides. I can't help but blush a bit, this guy really knows how to get to me. - I mean what would Mr. VP do without his sidekick?-
-Sidekick? - Was this guy for real? Me a sidekick?
- Yeah? Ah, it was supposed to be funny but...
- Oh... - I laugh, a fake laugh but at least convincing.
Another 5 minutes of silence and i can tell it was starting to get awkward for him. The worst part is that we have a 20 minute walk ahead of us.
- Christie?- He comes up to me and wow was i nervous. What is he going to do? I could see his arm slowly moving up to my cheeks but didnt actually reach there, but my ear. - You have something behind your ear- He grins
- How'd you that?- I smiled and held up to the coin to see if it was real
-I'll tell you, but, this has to be our little secret. Promise?- A secret? Between us?
- Promise
We stopped for a while. He came up closer to me and grabbed my hand. -Just hold the coin in between your fingers, like this, and go at the person's ear.-
- Cool- Wow he was holding my hands and he was nervous? I felt like i could sense his heart beat go wild through his chest in my hands. The first cute guy that actually talks to me.
The thing is guys, i don't really pay attention to guys trying to get to me. They are never sweet and most of the times they did it because they were dared to do it or they tried to get me into their bed. None of their tries worked and after 5, i thought it was time for me to quit it. What am i doing flirting with Connor? Well, he has been amazingly sweet with me and he's probably the only friend that i have as a neighbour.
-Ah, i guess this is our stop... -
- Yeah... - I said, obviously not wanting this moment to end. I wanted him to stay with me and talk, but maybe he has better things to do.
Connor's POV
Why did this moment have to end? We were having a very good time, without counting the several awkward silence minutes. Christie made my day, like she always does. Every day i knew that at 3:00pm i had to be looking at the window, waiting for her to get home. I always thought she looked pretty. Everyday i heard her sing at the top of her lungs, and every night i would wish her a good night sleep. I have never been this starstruck for a girl, but Christie is just perfect. She has the most amazing body, and a very cute smile that lights up her face. Her green eyes that matched mine...
- Well, i, ah, better go inside... - she said. Just before she left, she kissed my cheek. - Thanks Connor. It was really nice of you to come with me.- And there she did it, she smiled at me. That beautiful smile that always caught my heart.
- Welcome-
Christie's POV
OMG! I just did the unthinkable... I kissed him. I know it was on the cheek, but still. What was i thinking? He could think that i am easy and stop being my friend. He might even have a girlfriend. Anyways, out of all these thing that happened, i am happy that he lives next to me. Maybe we can hand or talk sometime. We might get to be really good friends.
==============================================================================
As i took a shower, i couldnt help but keep thinking about how i dressed, how i never fixed my hair, but in a ponytail. I couldnt help but think about how i was never worried about at least a bit of lip gloss. I kept on thinking on how this was the last year and i did not want to be remembered as the " little miss nobody" . I guess this is time for a change.
I looked in my closet. I started to look through the clothes i never wear. I picked up over 20 different outfits that i could wear and i found the one that i would wear for school tomorrow.
As i was in my mom's room searching for make up, someone rang the bell.
-Who is it?
- Ah, hey Christie
- Connor, hey! I thought you would never pay me a visit- He grinned. That looked so sweet.
- Ah, i dont have much time... I was just wondering if i could, ah, have your number...-
- Of course
Tim's POV
- Hey Christie. I was wondering if you wanted to go to the new park they just opened.-
- Hey... Christie! How about you and me at the new park?-
Aaaaaa! I cant take it! I have had a massive crush on the cutest girl in the whole school who just happens to be my best friend, Christie. Why can't i just ask her out? Other guys do it, why is it so hard for me? I need to gain courage, but how? Every time i see that smile i cant help but melt inside. Her beautiful long hair and her lips are so unforgettable. Her forest green eyes get me lost in their paradise. Her sweet, melodic voice is like a well tuned orchestra in my ears. She is just perfect and she has to be mine.
