Surprise

It was dark, too dark to see end of the street. I walked and walked hoping for the best. I tripped over a bin and fell flat on my face. A hand suddenly reached for me. I got up and ran.

"Wait!" the stranger called.

I'd heard that voice before. I'm not sure where but I stopped nevertheless. It was the hooded figure I met on the night of my break-up.

"I don't want to harm you."

I smiled at the hooded figure who was quite tall.

"I'm sorry I frightened you!"

"It's OK." I replied

"Do you feel any better since I last saw you?"

"Quite a bit, yes!" I laughed nervously

"Would you like me to walk you home? Its quite dangerous out this late."

"Yeah sure, why not?"

We walked to my house and I told him about what happened on the night of the break up.

"What's your name?" he asked

"Erin, What's you...."

"Erin, would you like to meet up again sometime?" he interrupted

"Sure, but just as friends ok?"

He looked disappointed but nodded his head with agreement.

HI"Next Tuesday at 5:00?"

"Yeah."

"Meet me at the monument."

I waved goodbye and walked inside my house.

"Did you enjoy yourself today?" my mum shouted from the living room.

"Yes! I've really cheered up since yesterday."

"That's good honey!"

I went upstairs and smiled at myself in the mirror 'I'm ready to move on' I thought in my head. I dumped my tired body on my bed and took a look at my phone. I had a message from Sam

"Hope you had a good day today and made it home safely. Sam x"

I thought. Did I make it home safely? I mean that guy was nice enough but it could all be an act. He might of just wanted to get me home safely or find out where I live. I wasn't even sure how old he was. I would just have to find out on Tuesday

****************************

I must have fallen asleep because I woke up on Saturday morning still in my clothes I wore yesterday. I grabbed my phone of the bedside table and texted Sam

"Sorry I didn't text you last night, fell asleep. I did get home safe and definitely enjoyed my day ;) Erin x"

I felt a rush of joy go through me as I though 'I actually have a friend.'

You'd think I'd have lots of friends because I'm rich, but everyone just thinks I'm a posh snob. It's a bit weird considering I have purple hair and and a boyfriend. Well. Had. I stretched and guess what I did? Yes, I rolled out of bed onto the floor. I wasn't sure what I was going to do today. As I was brushing my teeth, I looked myself in the mirror. Suddenly I had an idea.

"Mum, can I got to Whitelake Fun Forest?" I shouted to her room.

"Ok, if you're careful!"

Whitelake Fun Forest sounds babyish, but it is the best theme park ever!

I texted Sam.

"Are you busy today? if not meet me at the train station at the centre. I have a surprise. Erin x"

I got a new text "A surprise eh? I'm on my way. Sam x."

I grabbed a few hundred pounds and shoved on my converse. I walked to the bus stop and picked at my nails while I waited. I texted Sam telling him I might be a while and the bus arrived.

I kept checking the time, worrying that he would get fed up waiting and go home. As soon as I got off the bus, I ran all the way to the station and Sam was standing there with his sunglasses and his beanie. He looked so cute. I ran up to him.

"Hey, sorry I'm late!"

"Its ok. What's this surprise then?"

"You'll have to wait and see" I tapped my nose.

We walked to the right platform for the Whitelake train to arrive. We waited on the train and a million questions were asked.

"Where are we going?"

"Is it the cinema?"

"Are we going swimming?"

"Are we going to a park?"

"Give it a rest!" I chuckled.

"But I want to know!"

"Don't you 'but' me young man!" I joked.

"Sorry Miss." he said sadly.

The train arrived and we sat in the table seats.

"Do you ever take those sunglasses off?" I questioned.

"Nope. I never have and never will."

"Why?" I asked confused

He started to get nervous

"Erm...don't laugh ok?"

"Why would I?"

"Because I don't like making eye contact with people. I get nervous."

"Aww, Sam. I don't mind just be yourself."

He smiled at me

"Thanks."

We did a crossword on the back of a free metro newspaper.

"Three down is an affection to a person or thing."

"How many letters?"

"Four."

"Hmm...." he looked at me

"Love." I don't know what it was but the way he said 'Love' made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I smiled at him. I looked down at the newspaper and wrote 'Love' in the correct boxes in my neatest handwriting. I even did a little loveheart for the 'O'. Sam smiled sweetly and then there was an announcement.

"Now arriving at Whitelake"

Everybody got up and waited by the door until it opened and a rush of people flooded out. I got pushed and shoved around. I looked behind me. No Sam.
