From Firends To Love ..... Or Is It

the new boy

It was a foggy morning as I was riding my skateboard, so it was a little hard to see. all I could see was a figure in the distance;  it was hard to tell if it was male or female,  all I knew is that I was heading straight for it and I could not stop. I tried but I couldn't.  next thing I knew is that I crashed into this person I heard a small grown come from the person,  so I said "shit,  I'm so sorry, I guess I shouldn't have been riding  in the Fog I'm so sorry, are you ok

I waited for an answer, or a pissed off response, but all I got was a small laugh followed by an " it's ok, I'm fine .

As the sun slowly burned away the fog I was able to to get a glimpse of the person I crashed into. It was a boy about my age with spicky jet black hair, deep ocean blue eyes and tanned skin. I was speechless for a moment, but was snapped out of my day dream by the sound of a cough from the boy, which come to think of it, I still don't know his name.

"Sorry, "for what he said “ for crashing into you"

“ oh it's ok, I'm fine. Honestly, I'm usually the one crashing into people on my skateboard, so I guess this is pay back, " we both laugh at that , and then I realized that my stuff had spilled out of my bag.

I sighed, "crap," then crouched down on my knees and tried to pick up all my stuff that had spread all over the place.

I was shoving my stuff into my bag when he asked, "do you want help?

I replied " no, I'm fine. Besides, I'm the one who crashed into you."

He looked down at me, and with a sweet and friendly smile , said "too bad, I'm helping." He bent down on his knees and started helping me pick up my stuff. As he handed me some of my papers both our fingers touched a little, l felt a little Electric shock and quickly pulled my hand away. I guess he felt it too because he let out a little laugh. When we finished picking up the rest of my stuff and stood up. I dusted my skirt as I said my thanks‘ to him.

"No problem, what's your name by the way?" He asked.

I replied, "Bella, what's yours?

" I'm kai."

"Wow nice, it has sort of a ring to it."

"Thank you. Hey did you know your name means beautiful in French.

I let out a small chuckle," it's actely 'belle' that means beautiful in French "

"Oh,right. Ok well your still beautiful, i-i mean your.... name. Your name is beautiful," he coughed awkwardly.

I felt a warmth of blood rise to my cheeks.  was I blushing?  no way, that's impossible, I just met him. whatever, well at least kai didn't seem to notice. thank god. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a beep

"Shit!

" what's wrong? Kai asked

"I'm going to be late to school!"

"But it's only 7:10."

"Yeah, I know, but I have this thing where I go to school early so that I have time to put away my bag and stuff. then I  go for a few rides around school listening to my music.  it's just so peaceful

As I was explaining, I noticed he was wearing my school uniform.

"you go to Eastwood Secondary College?"  I asked pointing out the school emblem on his shirt .

"yeah, I just moved into the area."

"Oh no wonder I've never seen you around here. Want to walk ?"

"Sure‚ why not?" Kai said as he picked up his bag from off the ground and slung it over his shoulder. I did the same and grabbed my skateboard, then we start to walk off. A few minutes into the walk, kai started to speack up, "hey, what's the school like, and how are the people ?" He asked.

"Umm the schools ok. I mean, I'd still rather be somewhere else then there but it's ok, as for the people though? Well, to put it simply, it's basically like one of those cliché, high school, chick flick movies, you know what I mean?

" wow,ok, this going to be a hell of a school." He sighed his back hunching over ever so slightly.

"Yep....well,anything else you want to know ?"

Kai paused for a moment to think. "Yeah, can I kiss you?"

"Yeah. wait  what!?" I gasp in shock by the sudden request and kai cracks up laughing Doubling over.

"Shut up," I say with a smile on my face as I playfully punch him on the shoulder when I realise he was messing with me. “why'd you say that for?

"Because I wanted to see if you where paying attention , and what you would say ." he shrugged

“ Ah. Ha. Ha. Very funny, you wish you could kiss me." I say with a playful smirk on my face as I placed my skateboard on the ground and start riding. I look back at him and shout, "ahh, you can't catch me!" And playfully stuck out my tongue .

He said nothing , just stood there with a smirk on his face, then held up my bag in his right hand.

'Crap‘ I thought as I turned around and skated back to his laughing form.

"Shut up," I say with a giggle." Give me my bag back and let's just get to school."

"No. First what's the magic word? he said teasingly  with a laugh.

“ugh, Fine, please can I have my bag back?

Umm, nah," he said

"Ugh, kai, give it now please," I said with a bit of annoyance in my voice.

"Aww fine. Your no fun. He say handing me my bag.

" no, I just can't be late to school,or my mum will kill and think I skipped school again," I muttered the last bit.

"What do you mean, again? Kai asked.

" oh,umm,nothing. Let's just get to school,ok? " I responded quietly. Truth is I hate school. I don't fit unlike the others do, I just hate it. But he didn't need to know that, or at least not yet anyway.

"Oh,ok," he said and then everything went quite.

To lighten the mood I asked "hey, can you do something for me?"

"Uh,sure, depends on what it is though."

"Ok good, just promise me when you're king of popularity, don't forget me, ok?"

He chuckled as he said "don't worry about that."

"Why?" I questioned ,tilting my head to the side a little.

"Because it won't happen, that's why."

"Ha. That's what you think now, but within a week, every guy will want to be you and ever girl will want to be with you."

"Nope, won't happen." He shook his head in denial.

"Yeah it will,as I said before, this school is like every cliché high school movie ever made."

This is not the end
