Another year of school ahead of me yay! *note the sarcasm*

Not everything's that bad. I've just found out that all my best friends are in all of my classes and I have some pretty good teachers too.

So not alls bad.

I've pretty much hated school ever since Year 10. Wanna know why?

It's cause Darren left school, he was in Year 14, his last year.

I was devastated not being able to see him in school but at least I see him outside of school.

In case you haven't guessed yet, I still have a crush on Darren.

You'd think by now it would have worn off but oh no. I've really fallen for him now and there's no going back.

The only thing that worries me still is what would Emma's reaction be if or when she finds out. I've kept it for so long now.

More to the point what would Darren think? I mean there is five years between us, he probably thinks I'm just a kid. Then things would get awkward.

I quickly grabbed my bag and headed for school.

"Morninggggg," Sarah said as we walked in.

"Hey," I replied. "So you looking forward to this year?"

"Course I am, cause two more years then we're out of here!" She said happily.

We met up with Jennifer, Samantha and Courtney. Emma said she's getting a lift so we'll see her later on.

After when we started chatting and talking about our year ahead of us suddenly a car pulled up into school and out came Emma.

I looked in the window and seen...Darren. He flashed me a smile. He still makes me blush after all this time.

"Hi guys," she said. "Woke up late this morning so I had to get a lift."

The bell went, time for another school year.

*

Today wasn't so bad. I like all my teachers and everyone in my class is great, especially since all my friends are in them.

"Oh and guys Darren's giving us all a lift," Emma said.

"What! How are we gonna fit into his car?" Courtney exclaimed.

"We'll figure something out haha," she laughed.

I started to get butterflies in my stomach. None of my friends still don't know I like him and well I intend to keep it that way.

BEEP BEEP

There he was....

"Come on in girls," he shouted.

Ok, so this is how it worked in Darren's four seater car:

- Darren in front with Emma beside him.
- I sat in the left at the back with Samantha on my lap.
- Sarah sat in the right with Courtney on her lap.
- And Jennifer in the middle with no difficultly at all haha.

Yeah we were pretty squished.

Darren was laughing at us in the back and I felt heat rise to my cheeks and my heart started beating faster.

"You ok Leah?" Samantha asked me. Shit.

"Um yeah I..I'm fine," I stuttered.

I seen Darren glance at me in his rear view mirror and winked at me. God if only he knew what he was doing to me.

I was so lost in my thoughts thinking of Darren that i didn't even realise we were back at Emma's house.

"I thought you were never coming out," Darren said chuckling.

"I was just..ah tired and I didn't realise I guess," I replied. I was getting nervous so I hurried inside.

Everyone busied themselves with either school stuff or on their phones so I sat down on the sofa and plugged my earphones in.

I closed my eyes while listening to my favourite songs by Bastille when suddenly I felt something snatch my phone off me.

"Hey what the-" I said then seen it was Darren smirking.

"I do not approve of anti-social people," he said pretending to sound professional.

"Give me my phone!" I shrieked.

"Oh you want it? Well you'll have to catch me first!" He said and ran out of the living room.

"Darren!" I screamed and ran after him. I heard the others laughing in the living room.

I heard his bedroom door shut so I headed up there and burst through the door.

He was standing in the middle of the room with my phone still.

"There you go," he said handing it back to me.

"That was...easy?" I said puzzled.

"Oh I'd do anything to get you in my bedroom," he teased.

I blushed and quickly turned my head away.

That's when I noticed something on his wall. It was pictures of all of us during the years and all the fun we had.

"I remember these," I said laughing.

"Oh my I remember that day!" I said pointing to a picture which had all of us covered in paint. We had painted their parents garage because we were bored and then nearly got grounded for life for doing it!

"Yeah we were pretty crazy," he said. "But I loved every second of it."

I turned to look at him. He was staring at the pictures and remembering all of the days we spent messing around.

"I sometimes wish we could go back to all of that," he said looking at me.

"If only," I sighed.

When I turned around to go he quickly took my hand and pulled me closer to him.

"Wait," he said quietly and started to lean in.

No. Was he going to kiss me?

I leaned in closer to him and then our lips touched ever so slightly then he kissed me.

It was the perfect moment.

He pulled me closer to him and wrapped his arms around my waist while I placed my hands around his neck. My legs began to get shaky at his touch.

We pulled away breathlessly from each other.

Wow.

Darren kissed me. He was my first ever kiss...
