I wake up to the sound of what I think is my alarm, I slowly open my sleepy eyes and look at my phone and it, in fact, wasn't my alarm it was Ari. I unlock my iPhone and read the text "hey hottie, how was your beauty sleep lol" I reply laughing "it was great thx for asking XD". I get up, I put my jumper on and jump into my jeans, I get my keys from the key hook and shove my helmet on my head, jump on my motorcycle and drive down to Starbucks to get a frappé and go to school. I get to school and it's deserted, so I went straight to my locker and pulled my skateboard and out my bag and put it in the Locker and I get a notice I have to hand into the office. I start walking towards to the office, "Hey Charlie how can I help you today" Carol the office lady asks non-enthusiastically, "hi carol I just needed to hand in a notice" "yep thx just put it in the box please" I place it in the box and casually walk out the door. I go to look at the bulletin board, as I scan the board I see a poster for boys basketball so I put a note on my phone. I keep on scanning the board and see a flyer for prom. But u could only bring students from our school. I only have ari no one else. Once my friends got here we all decided to go together. We get to science class and all we do is experiments, which by the way we never do we usually study stuff. But then once we got to English the teacher didn't even make us do work she just put on music and let us have free time. And in gym class, they taught us how to slow dance for prom. We walked off to the tree with our bags and as I started talking about prom they all changed to the subject "is there something wrong?" I say getting frustrated. "No just wait for prom," Chris says really getting on my nerves, "hey talking about prom do you guys want to go shopping because it's only in a like a week and a half?" Bec asks not really giving us a choice so we all agree. As the bell goes I walk in the door of my debates class and expecting not to do any work and then I look on the board and the subject is should prom be split into each year level. "Ok class now this debate is real, so you can choose a side and you will have 10 minutes to come up with a reasonable Arguments" I chose the side that it should be split up. My side won. We got emailed by the school saying our date of the prom. It was on a Friday. So it gets after school and we grab our bags and go to the selata mall, first, we go with the girls to Mac cosmetics to get them some makeup, workers would do their makeup and then we would judge them. Then we went to go get their dresses, again the workers would choose it some dresses and we would judge them. Once the girls were done it was our turn so is guys were nice and let the girls go shopping, Anne gave me $10,000 for the hole shopping so I gave Bec and Alex 300 each and they went shopping. Us guys went shopping after as well and I got a black Stüssy jumper and an A$AP ROCKY tee. Chris got a white Santa Cruz jumper and some new black globe socks. Luke got an Adidas jumper and cheap Monday black jeans. Alex got a new Roxy wetsuit, rusty white jumper. Bec got a Stüssy cropped top and some top shop ripped black short short. So we all grab so frozen yogurt, as we walk over to the beach my phone rings "hello?" I answer the phone with "hey hottie!" I know who it is ass soon as she says hottie "hey ari, what's up?" I reply warmly "nothin, what are you doing?" "Well we are going to selata beach wanna drop by?" I ask hopefully "ok I'll be there in a few minutes" "great love ya bye cutie!" "Love ya too hottie," she says with a laugh, I Hang up the phone and hold the phone to my chest. We get through the gates and run down to our spot, oh and I forgot to add the girls also got new bikinis so they got changed into those in the Changing rooms and then when sat down it was almost sunset. On our way there we all agreed to go up to the cliff that has the view that is breathtaking! But we all just sat there talked. "Today was so strange" I start off saying "I know right, and it was only us that wasn't doing anything!" Bec says getting out her phone and texting someone "who's that?" I ask suspiciously "oh, oh no one" she says putting her phone away. I look over at the gate and ari is walking in and she is in her criss-cross bikini top and plain bottoms. I wave her in our direction "hey ari !" Bec yells in excitement, it was like they had been friends for years. I was glad they liked each other. Once I get out of my daydream I yell "hey quick let's go to the cliff!" So we all grab all of our stuff and run up to the top of the cliff and lay out a blanket Ariana brought. I put my arm around Ariana's shoulders and she leans her head on my shoulder, I was in heaven as we watched the sunset together and the others ended up having to go home so I and ari stay and as they are gone she puts her head up and looks at mine. Into my eyes. Not like a death stare but a loving warming look. "Charlie I have never been so happy and great full in My life," she says meaningful, I didn't know what to says so I just kiss her. We eventually end the kiss, we both stuck there staring at the melting sun, ari puts her ever last jumper over bikini which leaves her in her bottoms and a jumper. She stands up to put her Nike sliders on when I make the move and go on one knee. She turn back around "Ariana..." I start "Charlie.." She says anxiously "... will u be my girlfriend?' I pop the question. Then it's just silence, "yes" she says tucking hair behind her ear I stand up as she hugs me. "I love you Charlie Adams" no one has ever said my last name before. But I like it when she says it. We pack up and race down to the sand. We go across the street to a little diner and order something to eat and drink I pay for it of course. "May I help you two?!" A jolly waitress asks "hi may I please get a regular hot chips and two vanilla malt milkshakes" I order "sure sweat pea it will be out it a touch!" She says in a southern accent. Me and ari just sit there with our hands and the table in twined just looking at each other studying all the details like we are never going to see each other again. Our food comes out and we start eating. "So what is your dream job?.." Ari asks starting a conversation "probably something to do with music or art" " oh I never knew you we into music?" "Really? I live for music!" "That's so cool that's my answer as well apart from a pro skater," ari says laughing "of course," we say together laughing. we finish, while we walk out I put my arm and she leans her head against my arm and we sit on a bench chair right in front of the beach just watching the waves crash against the rocks. I put my head on hers. "Wanna crash at my place to night cutie" I say trying not to sound like a creep but thankful she took it well "yeah that would be great to get away from the fighting" she says great fully "what fighting is it bad" I ask "it's pretty bad like furniture throwing and screaming in each other's faces" she says with a tear almost rolling down her face but she hides it "ari I want you to know this, I am and will always be here, I went through the same you can stay at mine whenever" I tell her making sure she knows I dot want her to go through the the same thing I went through. We get back to my house I push open the door and look at the time it's 9:15pm so it wasn't to late. So I get Ari a hot chocolate with marshmallows and me a coffee and put on paper towns in the theatre room. "How did you know that this is my favourite movie" "well, two great minds work the same... It's my favourite as well" I same trying to be smart ari just looks at me and laughs "you could have just said it was your favourite movie". I tell her I am going to have a quick shower and come back so I hop in the shower and brush my teeth. i put my tracksuit on and no shirt and touch up my hair, spare deodorant on and go back to her. She whistles "Oh dayum. I scored good" she says with a smirk. I start to blush "awwww" I say in a cute voice, then Ariana has a shower. She comes back in a tee shirt dress with the front all cris cros and booty shorts. "Hey cutie" I say as she walks in, she sit next to me curled up underneath my arm. We finish the movie and go up to my room I put the tv on and put on the edge of seventeen because I knew she liked this movie as well. We hop Into my bed and surprisingly it's not awkward. It she ended up falling asleep in my arms. I woke up before her so I went down to the kitchen and made us some bacon and eggs. "Morning beautiful" I great her as she walks in the room "morning hottie" she says smirking walking over to me and kisses me good morning. We eat up our breakfast and go and get dressed, I am not going to list all our outfit because you can probably picture what we are wearing. I get the keys and get us both helmets, then jump onto the motorcycle. I drive ari back home, I take the key out of the ignition and hop off the bike and lean against the bike. Kiss kiss ari goodbye and watch her knock on the door and I see a hand saying thank you, and I take that as my signal I can go now. So I take off and go back home. As I walk in the door I hear Anne "housework!" She practically screams from the top floor. "Yep!" I yell in reply without even arguing I grab the mop and start moping the tile areas. Next I get the vacuum and vacuum them carpet areas. Then I dust everything, "so I see you did everything... Again" Anne comes down to not really surprised. "Yeah... Sorry I got carried away" I apologize "no, no don't be sorry I don't need to do anything now" she says laughing and walking off with a little hop in her step. It makes me so happy helping people. After I go have a shower Because I am sweating like a pig. I get a text from Chris asking if I wanted to go with him and Luke to cinema, I replied with a yeah and got ready they came by and picked me up I told Anne before I left And jumped into the car. It was silent so I broke it with "she my girl now" I was surprised they knew what I was talking about "bruh I am so proud of you!" Luke says like an older brother even though I am older. We get there and line up to get our popcorn and drinks "hey what movie are we seeing?" I ask realizing I didn't even know what movie I am going to see "bay watch the one with the rock" Chris says "just for the hot chicks I am guessing" "yep!" Luke admits. We get in the cinema and once the movie is finished we go and play in the arcade and play that hammer game "ok Luke you need to pick up the hammer and hit that button" we say to annoy him "shut up you pricks, I am not that dumb!" He says laughing but still annoyed. We all have a turn on the game and end up leaving and going back home "hey I am back" I come back to a barbecue "what's this" I ask Anne "I don't know I just wanted to cook a big meal" Anne says laughing. We eat and then I go up to have a shower brush my teeth do my night routine turn on my new installed speakers and put on my SPOTIFY PLAYLIST 'YASS SWEATY', text ari I love her and good night and slowly close my eyes.
