The next two weeks went by really fast. I was really enjoying music although, if I'm being honest, I was really finding it hard to concentrate. Needless to say Tom tortured me relentlessly about my crush for Mr.Sykes. "What? I can't help it," I whispered to Tom after, for about the sixth time in this music lesson, he has given me a sharp nudge to remind me to stop staring.
A couple of days later I didn't feel well so stayed off school. "Hey Callie-Belle you feeling up to visitors," Tom asked me on the phone later that day. I smiled. Whenever I was sick Tom always came around with sweets and we would sit in my room talking for hours and mostly taking the mick out of people in our school. I swear Tom could be like a teenage girl some times. "Yeah sure come round when ever your ready," I replied.
An hour later i heard a soft knock on my bedroom door. "Call , you asleep?" Tom whispered as he entered my dark bedroom. "No, come on in Tom hit the lights please," i answered. "Okay no bother," Tom said hitting the light switch beside the door before making his way over to sit beside me on my bed.
"So anything interesting happen in Music today?" I asked innocently. Tom chuckled. Oh great here comes the butterflies again.Cop on Callie!! "I swear to god Callie-Belle your obsessed with that teacher," He laughed. "I am not!," I stated. "just wondered." "Well yes,something interesting did happen in music today thats really what I wanted to tell you," He laughed. "Well come on spill," I said nudging him to tell me .
"Well Im not sure if you'll like it," He hesitated. "Come on Tom it cant be that bad," I replied. "Well," he began." Because you were out there was 28 in the class, and Mr.Sykes gave us a duets assignment. I tried to tell him I wanted to go with you but he said it would have been unfair to the person who would have been left out." I was gutted. Duets were one of my favourite parts to music.
"So what am I going to do?" I asked quietly. "I'm sorry Callie-Belle I really am i would have loved to sing with you," He said causing me to blush. He's really not helping my butterflies. "But on the bright side I think Mr.Sykes is going to sing with you," He said nudging me and winking. "Seriously?" I questioned. " Yeah I think so. When he wouldn't let me partner with you I told him how gutted you would be about missing it and he said he'd sort something for you. So you can thank me for being a great friend if you do," He smiled at me. "Thank you Tom," I said leaning over and giving him a soft peck on the cheek.
Crap what the hell have i done. "Eh your eh welcome," he blushed. Oh my god i kissed my best friend. It was only a small one on the cheek that okay right? Tom went home later that night and I went to school anticipating my music class tomorrow. I might get to sing with Mr.Sykes
Suddenly, being sick turned out great for me
