I sucked the top of my sparkly pen lid, as I thought hard about what to write for my homework. It had been to write a paragraph about myself to explain who and what i'm like, then I must preform it to my form class, for most people this was easy, for my it was one of the hardest things ever, especially when today was Tuesday and it was due on Wednesday.

Hello, My name is Jade. I am fourteen years old. I will be fifteen on 12th December. I was brought up In a small two bed-roomed rented house. My parents were unable to afford anything better until my mum got a job at Lakeside Mansion. I had to leave all my best friends behind, It was a terrible...

Moodily I scrunched it up and threww it at the metallic bin. Like all the others, It hit the edge of the bin then It fell beside the 13 other scrunched up attempts. It was no good. every time I tried to write tears pricked up and I began to write my feelings. My heart thumped loudly, I chucked the notepad at the wall, and began to sob. This time yesterday Archie had just made my day by brushing his hand across mine, today I feel like a rubbish bitch, with no life.

A thought swayed around my brain as a little twitch began to form in the corner of my mouth. Archie. I wiped away the few tears that were rushing down my cheek. The twitched turned into a smile. Archie always made me feel better, I knew he would be the perfect one to make me happy. I hopped of the puffy stool,  and stepped on the deserted notepad, treat that thing roght I thought.. I rushed out of my room and made my way to Archie's room.

I knocked the door of his room. and waited impatiently. I heard the sound of ripping paper or something, followed by his soothing voice. "Come in!" He called, sounding exhausted.

I pushed the door open, just as Archie stashed some paper inside his wardrobe. He walked over to his be where his phone was laying.

"I just need to quickly text someone..." he said, patting his bed for me to sit down. I came over and sat with hi His fingers tapped wildly at the phone screen. I tried to peak over, but all it said was ESIHTL! I knew what t and l standed for. Talk Later, but I was unsure about the ESIH.

"So, what did you want to say, sorry?" he said when he had pressed send.

" Well, I just wante-" I began but I was almost instantly stopped by the sound of Gordan's voice booming through the doorway.o

"Oi, Archie, we need help with the... er.." He looked at me, then Archie. "The... y'know what." He finished, waving his arm around

"Sure dad, hey Jade I'll chat in a minute, just gotta do something." Archie said patting my shoulder. He threw his phone under his bed and followed his dad away. Something for my birthday probably I thought. I sat there for a little while in silence. Then I remembered my plan to split Archie and Olivia. I reached under his bed and grabbed his phone. I threw it in my school trousers pocket. I looked around then quickly peaked at the most recent text, in case it was princess Olivia, but it was just a Guy called Cody, I quickly red the message.

 'K, is it a girl? aha TL." I smiled then I put it inside my pocket,  decided I should probably text Olivia later, when the time is right, for now I should probably just sit here and wait for Archie to return.

"Back!" Yelled Archie as he ran into the room like a little kid. I looked up from the floor.

''Finally! hell what time do you call this?" I asked as he gently pushed me aside to sit on the bed. He looked at me apologetically.

 " Yeah, I got held up. anyway what did you want to say?" He asked. as he stretched out over his bed. I had almost forgotten myself, when it flew back into my head.

"Oh, I was just a bit upset, nothing Major..." I  said  Feeling a bit sad again as I thought about My homework about my friends, and my old house. A few tears danced about my eyes, waiting to be released. Archie must have sensed it, because before I knew it his arms were flung around my body. I stopped breathing, my stomach flipped over, as I realized it was my first ever hug with him!!

"It's okay." He smiled as he pulled away. "You need cheering up." He said as his eyes met mine again, I didn't even realize the tears had been released, I was totally unaware that I was even crying, because I felt so happy.

Archie produced two DVD cases from a draw near his bed and looked from one to the other. he looked full of thoughts.

"Well, which one? I'm rubbish at deciding." He laughed handing me the DVD's. I giggled softly, and looked at both cases quickly. I picked up the case with a big dog on the front, next to it was some text saying 'Charlie' I handed him the DVD.

"This, I like dogs." I said as he shoved the other one away.

"Good choice!" he said. he inserted the DVD into a TV that was joined to the end of his bed. He sat down and switched it onto the DVD.

"Archie?" I asked over the sound of the music as the DVD began.

"Yes?" He asked as his eyes remained fixed onto the TV screen.

"You're a great friend, y'know." I admitted. Blushing slightly. I pulled my hair down over my face, just in case he looked.

"Aha, I know, I know." He laughed. I knew he was defiantly my soul-mate, I watched his face more then the movie. every time he laughed, I laughed. every time he booed, I booed, and for a split second, I almost thought I was evil for stealing his phone, but I knew it was for the best.
