"Alright, I'm going to call the roll, everyone please be quiet" Mr. Daniel, my biology teacher shouted.
We were all gathered in the gym hall waiting to go on our overnight camping trip. It was boring but I mean, I got to chill with my friends.
"Hey Ashley!" Josh called me over.
"Joshua! Quiet!" Mr. Daniel shouted before continuing to call the roll.
"Ashley Frangipane!"
"Here" I said.
"Matthew Healy"
" 'ere"
I bit my lip. I had a bit of a crush on Matthew, well, Matty. He had soft curly hair and he smoked a lot. He was mysterious and he spoke like he had swallowed a dictionary. He once called love a "simple epicurean philosophy". No one even knows what that means. But he's cool, that's for sure.
"Hey Ash, did you hear?" Brendon whispered to me.
"Hear what?"
"That he broke up with Gabby"
"Wait Matty and Gabby broke up?" I asked, a little too happily making Brendon chuckle.
"Yeah, they had a huge fight"
I turned to look at Matty. He didn't look too sad about his recent breakup.
He caught me staring and we caught each other's eyes. He smiled at me.
I smiled back before turning to my friends. "He just smiled at me!"
Brendon, Josh, Tyler and Marina squealed with me, making Mr. Daniel shout at us. But it was worth it.

The bus journey was long but it was fun. I sat beside Marina and Brendon sat opposite us beside his other friend Ryan and Tyler and Josh sat in front of us. We were all singing and talking about pizza toppings and favourite makeup brands.
After a while, myself and Marina had a private conversation, while the others talked.
"So, why do you like Matty?" She asked me.
Heat rose to my cheeks "He's intriguing and he's cute"
"You can do better Ashley" Marina almost sounded disproving. But then she smiled "But as long as he makes you happy, who cares"
We arrived to the site soon after that. The sun was starting to set, giving the sky a bit of an orange glow.
We all stood in a awkward group, waiting for Mr. Daniel and Mr. Hann, the other teacher who came with us, to get off the bus. They eventually joined us and Mr. Daniel told us to be quiet and listen.
"I'm putting everybody into groups"
We all groaned. There was no way in hell he was gonna put me, Josh, Tyler, Brendon and Marina within a mile of each other.
