-Chapter One-
Oliver’s POV-
Oliver Michael Jales sighed and stared blankly out of the classroom window and watched as the clouds rolled by. He could see the mist creeping over the mountains in the distant and hear the birds chirping outside. The only other sound inside the classroom was the soft scrapping of chalk as Mrs Fletcher wrote on the chalk-board and a loud tapping sound that came from Liam Shay’s desk.
Time seemed to be going extremely slowly today and it was getting extremely tedious and frustrating. In the corner of the room, the small red clock ticked and each second dragged on and on.
Valentines day was the one day of the year Olly would normally want to be over as quickly as possible, for the simple reason that being alone is not enjoyable. This year however, he had a reason to be excited about it.
This could possibly be one of the best days of my life, Olly thought, smiling to himself. He let his eyes wander across the classroom and beamed at his reason for existence. Skye Ashley Williams: the most beautiful and perfect girl in the world, well, in Olly’s opinion. He could look into her eyes forever and never want to leave them and he could listen to her words, and not even slightly tire. He would never want her to change and could never ask her too either. She smiled widely back at him.
He watched her as she looked away from him, span her pen around between her fingers, and then absently flicked it against her desk. A look of boredom crossed her face, as she bit her lip slightly, looking from the assignment written upon the chalkboard and to the paper which sat on her desk. She leaned down over her desk and wrote what was needed in their assignment.
Olly glanced up at the board; their English assignment was to look into Shakespeare’s story, ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and to write three pages on what he thought the characters and Shakespeare himself as the author, would have been thinking at the time when Romeo found Juliet ‘dead’.
He carefully wrote down an outline of what he planned to write in his assignment and then put down his pen. The assignment was due in a weeks time, so there was really no rush. He wouldn’t have a problem with it at all, so he could do it over the coming weekend and not have to worry.
Glancing over at the clock once again, he realised that only ten minutes remained in the lesson and then he would be free to go. Then, just as he was about to look back down to his work, something hit the back of his head and dropped to the floor. He looked across at Allison May Rotes, his best friend and grinned. While watching out for his eagle-eyed teacher, he reached down and quickly snatched up the crumpled piece of paper.
Smoothing it out on his desk, he quickly read what was written, ‘Hey, you ready for tonight? ;) –A’.
He picked up his pen, and in his scruffy handwriting wrote, ‘Yes, I can’t wait. I hope Skye enjoys it! What about you, have you got any plans? –O’.
Allie was looking away so he threw the paper towards her and just as it had with him, it hit her head and fell to the floor by her side. He watched her as she bent down and picked the paper up and scribbled a reply. ‘She will enjoy it! Gosh, forever alone, remember?’ She sighed and passed the piece of paper back to Olly.
Olly groaned as he read Allie’s words. ‘You will find someone!’ He wrote. ‘Then you will be as happy as me and Skye (: What about Kyle?’ He finished and this time passed the paper, instead of throwing it, to Allie. She answered quickly and then threw the paper at his head.
