The new boy

Laying awake

"Mum I'm back" I shout walking in "she's gone out son" my dad said walking out the kitchen looking at a newspaper "oh okay" I say dumbing my bag by the stairs with a smile plastered all over my face "oi get back here" my dad calls as I head up the stairs and I turn on my heals walking back down "yea what have I done now" I ask knowing that I've always done something wrong "what's with that stupid smirk on your face that's three days in a row you've come back looking like you've lost a pound and found 20 quid" he said taking his glasses off "oh it's nothing honestly I'm just happy dad" i say but he wasn't buying it "have you got a girlfriend?" He asked out of nowhere and I nearly fell down the stairs in shock God if only he knew "no..fuck no"

"language!"

"Right yea sorry, no no girlfriend" I stutter out "whatever you say boy" he said walking away leaving me on the stairs

I never thought I could meet someone like Robbie. He's so weirdly unique, his little cheeky smile and his emerald eyes that could capture anyone "gaz" I heard outside my bedroom door "yea" I say sitting up in my bed and see my brother Ian appear in the door way "do you like it here" he asked coming over and sat on my bed opposite me "it's alright" I shrug my shoulders "you made any mates" he asked and I smile instantly "yea there's this one lad, he's so...different to everyone else I don't know what it is" I say thinking about him "get him over for his tea then soon" Ian said smiling "what why?" I ask "you know what mums like as soon as she hears you've made a friend she'll want them over" he answered, he's right he's always right but I get this feeling about Robbie when I think about him, it's not normal , it's like butterflies in my stomach just thinking about him "yea okay I'll ask him tomorrow" I say lying back down in my bed and felt Ian stand up "slept well bro" he said as he ruffled my hair, I laughed a little and laid awake thinking about only one person
