The new boy

The Autograph

Mark Gary and Robbie all walked home, mark left them just before the parks "see ya tomorrow rob" mark said and smiled as he walked away "he seems nice" Gary said as they continued walking "who? Mark? Yea he's a great lad my best mate round here I'm seen as a rough one" Robbie said and nudged Gary's side as he said 'rough one' making them both laugh "tell me about you then new boy" he added and sat on a ramp "there's not much to tell" Gary said with his hands in his pockets looking at the ground "I'm sure that's no true, come on tell me who are you" Robbie smirked at him looking up at him with that world crashing smile that only Robbie has, it made Gary want to give in but he wasn't ready to let Robbie know who he is not yet, he finds it hard to trust anyone.

Robbie seen Gary was guarded but he seem to soften when Robbie smiled at him "I love music it's what I live for, I play piano" he said sitting on the grass in front of Robbie, "you like music? Who do you listen too" robbie asked and moved so he sat on the ground with Gary to make him more comfortable "my parents I begged them for a keyboard for Christmas a few years back you know just because it really interests me, my dad he's softer than me mum he's the one that let me get it" Gary said smiling at the memory "do you write, songs or anything" Robbie asked looking deep into the blonds eyes, they made him crumble he got this feeling he's never felt before he couldn't describe it "yea I write not very good though" Gary joked "what about you who is Robbie williams aka the rough one" he added looking back at Robbie as he picked at the grass twiddling it between his fingers.

Robbie didn't realise he was asked a question he was that lost in this kids beauty "me? I'm the typical teen, I drink smoke play football" Robbie said proudly "and music" Gary asked as he moved to get his bag and as he did his top rode up a bit making Robbie see that he was in somewhat good shape, Robbie shook himself from his thoughts and smiled a little "music god I adore it, it's always there it's the one thing that never leaves you. I know that sounds cheesy but it's true being here in stoke you're lucky if you get out and achieve your dream....I told my mates and my mum I'd be famous" Robbie said whispering the last part feeling embarrassed "hey don't be embarrassed it's a dream...wanna know what I always say" Gary said placing a daisy behind his ear Robbie thought that was well cute "don't give up what's the point in giving up" he said gently

"here sign this" Gary said finding some paper in his bag and Robbie was confused "why on earth would I sign a piece of paper...?" Robbie asked with a confused look and Gary just chuckled as he handed him the paper and a pen "I want you to sign it and comeback to me when you're famous and say 'I told you I could do it' and I want to be the first person to ever have your autograph" Gary said sweetly and it made Robbie tear up "you're being serious aren't you" he asked looking at him with his voice breaking slightly trying not to cry "I'm gonna call you rob! That's okay right? Who cares I believe that you can achieve your dream up in the north we're taught case your dream and don't come back till you've made it...so sign the bloody thing" Gary said pushing Robbies knee making Robbie fall to his side a bit as he scribbled his signature down, Gary was the first person to ever believe in Robbies dream and right now he felt like he could take on the world because of this new found belief "there happy now" Robbie said handing it back to him but Gary pushed his hand away shaking his head "what...I thought..."

"no no you keep hold of it, look at it everyday as a motivational thing and think 'one day my name will be known' and when it is then give it to me" Gary said and Robbie was dumbfounded by Gary's words he was speaking like a manger or an adult, Gary seen his mum at the opening of the park and she waved him over he got up of the grass "I gotta go, see you tomorrow" he said and smiled leaving Robbie looking at the piece of paper, all the feelings right now he didn't know what was going on, could he do it? Did he have a crush on Gary? Everything was running round Robbies head as he watched Gary leave with his mum
