Okay here is today's entry. I looked up popular boy names and since Harry is number 4 I squared it and went to 16 and it was Henry. Started with the same letter and ended with the same two letters and since I thought using Harry would be tacky (sorry Nikki) I decided Henry it is.

... a brick wall of muscle. Her bag tumbled out of her clutch and just as she was about to dive head into concrete she was caught by strong arms. "Whoa, slow down there, love." Her head snapped up at the adorable accent and she found herself looking right into concerned green eyes. The eyes of the boy who had his arms around her at that very moment. The eyes of the BRITISH boy who had his arms around her at that very moment. She continued staring at him while contemplating whether or not to try and wake herself from this dream when he peeled himself off of her and spoke again. 

"Sorry about that. Well, um," he shifted nervously, scratching the back of his neck. "I wouldn't want to make you late for, uh, school." 

"It's no problem!" She said a little too quickly. She mentally cringed. "It's, uh, my school is right over there." She pointed to the large clean building at their immediate right. 

"Oh!" The boy grinned. "That's my new school!" So the rumors about the new British boy were true. His bright eyes shone. "I'd love for you to show me around." Nicole's eyes widened as he held her hand with both of his. "I'm Henry." He bent down and kissed her hand. She pulled it back in shock. He laughed, as if it was hilarious that they just met and she seemed terrified of him. "Aren't you going to introduce yourself?" She picked her bag off the ground and stepped towards the school. Henry hopped in front of her. "Nicole. My name is Nicole." She pushed open the door leading into the ground floor of the building. "It was pleasure meeting you. I'm off to get my class schedule!" And with that he skipped off, leaving Nicole wondering what to make of this new kid.

So yes, it is a romance. Even though that is usually the TACKIEST category what else can I do for my dear buddy Nicole. Okay that's all for today!
