"i promise, i will get you one," i said banging the door,
"you didnt yesterday, what do you think will make me think as though you will today," AJ asked throwing his hands in the air,
"fine," i said stomping my foot childishly,
"fine!" he said mimicking me,
"will you two just shut up already, she will get you a smoothe since you so badly want one, and you should get him one or else your grounded," Andy said and i stuck my tongue out at him and started making my way to the arts shop.
I sighed when i saw that i was nearing it, I pushed the door open and immediately was surrounded by different types of artsy things. I got a couple of pencils, paint brushes, paint and a couple of art pads.

I took a sip of my strawberry smoothe as i continued to draw, actually it was just some final additions to the paintings. It was a picture of AJ, Andy, my parents and I when my parents were still here, Andy was six years, I was only four years and AJ was three.
I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to face Nathan. A smile came up on my face,
"hey," i said,
"hey, and we meet again," he said and my smile widened,
"we do," i said, he spotted my drawings and got them,
"you draw?" he asked and i nodded,
"its not really a talent, i just... Draw," i said and he shook his head,
"this is amazing," he muttered " its really nice," he said putting them down and just at that moment, two guys, one blonde and another black haired came and sat down across us.
The blonde gave Nathan a pointed look and Nathan just rolled his eyes. I stared at them confused as Nathan turned to me,
"can I try something," he asked and i looked at him confused,
"um... Sure?" i said confused and he cupped my cheek and leaned in.
He placed his lips on mine, as soon as they met, i felt sparks go off. I know this might sound cliche and all, but i felt fireworks go off.
His other hand moved to my waist pulling me closer to him and i wrapped my hands around his neck.
Our lips moved together in sync but i was brought back to reality when i heard my name being called,
"Amanda," a voice said that i was very familiar with. My eyes snapped open and i moved away from Nathan,
" get in the car. Now!" Andy said and i immediately gathered all my things including the three smoothes. I stood up with a sigh,
"ooh... Mandy in trouble," AJ muttered snickerind and I hit him at the back of his head.
I started making my way to the door when Nathan called me.
I turned around just in time to catch his jumper. I looked at him confused but then he gestured for me to look down. I got even more confused and looked down, and saw what.
I looked down at my tank top which was cropped at the front and at the side dipped down to show part of my bra.
I felt a blush cross my face and i put on the jumper as fast as i could and zipped it half way, i gave him a small smile,
"come on," AJ said grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the door,
"i can walk on my own AJ," i said removing my hand from his grip and walking in front of him,
" dont give me that attitude, your the one who got yourself in trouble," he said and i rolled my eyes at him,
we reached the car and i found Andy seated in there with his head in his hands. I hesitantly entered the car,
"couldnt you just listen to instructions for once?" he asked making me suck in a big breath,
"im sorry Andy, i was just socialising," i said and he turned to look at me with disbelief,
"socialising doesnt mean snogging some guy you just met," he shouted "i know your growing up and all, but you dont have to be dong this even if you want to date; i told you, i forbid you to date anyone," he said and i turned to glare at him but he shook it off and started driving.
When we reached, just before we got out, i said something that seemed to surprise them,
"but his my mate," i said quietly and they both turned to me wide eyed,
"say what now?" they asked simultaneosly.
I shook my head and dot out of the car before they could say anything.
I entered the house and banged the door shut and ran up the stairs to my bedroom. I threw myself on the bed and let a sob break out.
I couldnt belive that he of all people told me that, i could expect it from someone like AJ but not Andy. He was the closest person i have and hearing that from him kind of tore my heart apart,
"Mandy," i heard him say softly, he sighed running a hand through my hair,
"look at me, please," he said and i looked at him through my blurred vision, "i didnt know he was your mate, im really sorry, im not saying im accepting him but giving him a chance," he said and i looked at him,
"really?" i asked,
"i'll give him a chance," he said and i smiled at him,
"i'll always be there for you Mandy," he promised,
"i know," i said with a shky breath,
"how did you meet," he asked and i smiled and started telling the story.
