crushing on you.

Meeting Blake

We got of the stuffy aero plane and stepped into the warm hot sun that instantly hit our faces. I walked down the steps from the plane and I was warmed by the sun. We walked through customs with our luggage and hopped into the black car that dads new company had sent for us. The seats where soft leather and the windows where tinted. We finally got to the apartment where we would be living from now on and unpacked all of our things. Me still thinking about everything I had to leave behind. I got changed into my swimmers and walked down the stairs of the apartment building and down onto the sandy beach out the back of the apartments. I laid my towel down on the ground and laid on-top of it tanning for a while. A group of guys all came up to me. They whistles. I sat up pulling my sunglasses of my face and holding them in my hand whilst I sat up. I gave them a strong glare as they walked up closer to me. "wow! Your so hot! You live around here?" one of them asked. "actually I live right there." I said trying to make it sound like I was a snob pointing back at the apartments. they all smiled at each-other in excitement. "YESS!" the said. I waved my hand telling them to leave and then laid back down putting my sunglasses back over my eyes. The guys all walked away. I put my earphones in and laid there tanning with music in the whole time. I finally got up and took of my glasses and took out my earphones. I walked down to the beach and dived into the water. The water was warm and soft on my skin and reminded me of my week at manly.

After a swim I walked back up and grabbed my stuff from the beach wrapping my towel around me. As I was walking up I heard those annoying guys again whistling in a flirty way. "fuck of you dumb whores!" I yelled pointing the finger up at them. I obviously wasn't in a good mood. I walked back into the back of the apartment block and past the pool. I went into the change rooms and had a quick shower and then I walked back up to our apartments and helped mum and dad finish unpacking. We where only half finished by 7 that night so we went out to diner to the local restaurant called Gold Coast Tavern. And guess what? To my surprise one of the guys that was at the beach was there. I gave him a strong glare ad then he just looked down at his feet. We ordered our meals and started to eat. Mum and dad ended up swapping half way through and then continued to eat. When we were almost finished I got up and walked over to the bathroom when I was about to walk through the door p the ladies bathroom that guy from the beach walked out. "Wait!" he said stopping me from walking into the bathroom. "what do you want now" I asked sounding annoyed. "look, I'm Blake and I'm sorry about what my friends where saying! They where all cheering because I live in that appartment block aswell and they always come to that pool out the back. I'm sorry about the things they said don't worry about them. I just want to be friends with you! So what's your name?" he said apologetically. "haha! I'm Ashleigh. And that's okay don't worry they all seem pathetic anyway. And oh you live in the same apartments? That's cool. What room?" I asked. "on the top level so 5D." he answered. I was surprised wow! Haha! Didn't see him before. "what about you?" he asked. "oh I just moved into 5C. Do that's cool we will be neighbors." I said trying to sound friendly. "yeah will be lots of fun." he said back with a smile. "well I gotta go so I will see you later." I said waving goodbye as I walked into the bathrooms. He seems nice I thought. Not like the others they all seemed like assholes to me! when I came back out of the bathroom we finished up and left. Driving back to the apparent. We got back and I turned on the tv. Nothing on. Ofcoarse. So I went to go and sit out on the balcony on my phone and look out at the view of the beach at night. I looked to my right and out there looking at the water was Blake. He was on his phone as well. He looked up at the water, then he looked over at me! He saw I was on my phone. "Hey Ashleigh what's your number and I'll text yah!" he yelled over to me. "ill give it to you on one condition! You dont give it to your asshole friends!" he agreed and I read out my number slowly. Ten seconds later I received a text from an unknown number. 'Heyy Ashleigh! Do you mind if I call you Ash? Haha! -Blake ;)' I added him into my contacts and replied to the message. 'uummm! Sure aha! Okayy! :)' I answered. 'Cool Ash! So where are you from?' he asked. 'im from Sydney then my annoying parents made me move up here cause dad got a new job! I had to leave everything behind my best friend all of my friends and my boyfriend! It sucks :/' I answered still annoyed at my parents for making me move! 'well that must suck for you! Gosh I would hate that! And I'm not surprised you had a boyfriend! Haha! What did he look like?' he asked me. Nosey much, I thought to myself. 'he was tall had goldie brownish hair freckles and dark blue eyes.' I said. 'oh wow! Must be hard to beat! Haha! Not trying to be nosey or anything ;) what was his name?' he asked. Yeah well you are being nosey mister. I thought! 'his name was Cameron' I said and that brought back all the memories unfortunately! 'oh that's cool! You got facebook?' he asked. 'yepp you?' 'yeah add me! My name is Blake James' he said 'kk' I answered. I went into Facebook and searched him up. He had blonde curly hair was medium well like my hight and he had dark brown chocolate colored eyes. I clicked on the first profile there was and that looked like him. I pressed 'Add as Friend' and went back checking my newsfeed. About twenty seconds later Blake yelled out again over the balcony. "I got it!" two seconds after that it came up with a notification saying that 'Blake James has accepted your Friend Request.' I laughed and he looked back and winked at me. I got up brushing of the back of my skirt. "I have to go inside now but I will talk to you maybe tomorrow?" I asked. "yeaah sure" he yelled turning around and winking at me. I walked back inside and had a shower and jumped into my warm bed. I plugged my phone into the charger and laid there looking out the doors onto the balcony. Because my parents made me move up here I got the room with the balcony which was at least one good thing. I just laid there looking out thinking about everything! I finally went to sleep and was woken up half way through the night by a knocking on the door that goes out to the balcony. I got out of bed and stumbled over to the sliding door. I opened the glass door and outside just standing there was Blake. I looked at him feeling confused. "uuuuuummmm how did you get across here?" I asked. "there is a small gate inbetween every appartment and I used that." he said with a smile then he said: "go get dressed into your batters I'm gonna teach you how to surf." he said holding up his two surfboards. "now?" I asked. "yep the waves are the best at 4 in the morning and that's half an hour from now so go and get dressed and I will wait for you in the corridor outside our apartments." he said hoping that I would agree. "fine." I said emphasizing on the 'I'. I closed the door and then I closed the blinds covering the door. I got changed into my pink layered frilly bikini and grabbed a towel and walked out into the corridor. Blake handed me a blue tall surfboard. It had a white stripe down the middle and then a hot pink and a bright orang palm tree in the corner. "here, this one is my sisters but she said you can use it if you wanted." a huge smile stretched across his face as he handed it to me. "cool. Oh and tell her I said thanks." I said returning the smile.

We walked down to the beach together and he was telling me about his friends and like all of their names and which ones where nice or not. We got down to the beach and he was right the waves where amazing! We dumped our towels down on the dry sand and we ran down with our boards into the clear blue water. We pushed our boards onto the water and we laid down on-top of them. We paddled out into the waves and stood up on our boards. I got up and I had butterflies in my stomach when I was riding on-top of the waves. Blake and I both fell of our boards at the same time and bumped heads underwater. Then we both came up looked at each other and laughed. We got back up into our boards and surfed until about 6:30 that morning when we had to go back to our apartments and get ready for school. We where walking back up carrying our boards in our hands and our towels around our necks. "so what school are you going to?" he asked curiously. "uuuumm I forget what it's called but it's the one down the road. Is that where you go?" I asked hoping he would say yes so I would know at-least one person at my school. "yep that's my school." he said with a smile. Thank-goodness I would know at-least one person there! We walked into the separate change rooms had showers and got changed and went back upstairs. I got all of my stuff ready for school an grabbed ten dollars out of the jar in the cupboard for lunch money and walked out the front door of the apartments where I met Blake. We walked to school together just talking about our old schools and our old friends. It was nice to have a new friend especially one I had a lot in common with, like we had a lot to talk about. There was never an awkward moment between us. We walked into the school gates and waited about ten minutes before the bell rang. I got out my timetable and showed Blake so he could tell me where to go. "you have uuuuummmm Geography! Oh great your in my class for all of our main subjects! Cool" he said happily. "that's great!" I said trying to sound excited. We walked into class and I was greeted by the teacher. I sat with Blake and Thankgoodness all of those dick head boys weren't in my class!
