:the next day:

I woke up that morning eager to arrive to school.

I hoped that I saw James again.

I was kicking myself for not asking for his number.

It would be nice to have another friend.

I was never very popular at school and my only really close friend is McKenna.

Once I walked to to school I looked around for James.

Nothing.

At lunch I sat next to Kenna.

"Hey Charlie you okay?" She asked me.

I didn't respond my eyes were scanning the room for him.

"Charlotte Joan Anderson!" She shook me.

I groaned at her.

"What?"

"You seem on edge." She said

"I'm fine sorry." I said picking at my salad.

Next period was band.

My favorite class.

I dragged my guitar down the hall to the band room.

I was the first one there most people came at least ten minutes late even the teacher.

My school really didn't give a damn about the music program.

I set up my guitar and started strumming.

"Leaves are falling all around." I started to sing.

"It's time I was on my way, thanks to you I'm much obliged, for such a ple-"

"I didn't know you sang like that." I heard a voice say

Embarrassed I turned around to see James standing there.

"Oh." I blushed

"I didn't mean to scare you Charlie." he said smiling and sitting down

"It's okay." I said

"You know Bron-yr-aur stomp? It's in open D." He said taking the guitar from my hands and strumming.

"I caught you smiling at me," We both started singing

"That's the way it should be, Like a leaf is to a tree, so fi-" We stopped as someone walked in.

"Do you wanna hang out after school?" He asked me

"Sure." I said

-walking deads not on tonight *sobs*
