Christmas is coming around and i could not be happier to escape from school for two weeks its getting to the point where even the teachers dont give a shit what you do. I mean its second year who really cares. Im sitting with a group of people and Louisa says she wants to go on a walk, she looks at us waiting for someone to willingly trudge along beside her while she talks to everyone she knows but of course i have never heard of. I make the mistake of making eye contact so she grabs and pulls me up to my feet with a big grin on her face knowing im not gonna argue because its not even 1pm yet. This is our last day before school stops and tommorow is Louisa's birthday so we have plans due to these things im in a relativly good mood. "I want to find James, I need to talk to him about something" I nod half listening as we wander to the forum. "Who's that again" I say, Louisa talks about so many people its hard to keep track sometimes. "Who? James, oh i love him he's like my brother he's in the year below, have i seriously never introduced you two, thats weird" Louisa says as she spots who shes's looking for and walks faster. We get seperated by a group of 5th years and shes blocked from my view i bump into them and turn around to apologise as i hear Louisa calling me over. Without looking i walk forward and im standing infront of her and James. Louisa starts to talk to me but im lost in this boys eyes. Others would describe them as brown and look for better colours and normally i prefer blue eyes but these eyes i can practically feel the warmth radiating from them and they look soft and kind like a baby dear but there is something a little fiery behind them a glint of mischief and something that makes me feel giddy all of a sudden. These eyes are followed by a head of thick black hair the person is taller than me which isnt hard and his skin is an olive colour as if he has been out sunbathing. I stop and he smiles at me, I smile that will forever stay in my head, a smile that makes me feel like im going to melt.

"Hi" is the only thing i can seem to come out with at the moment , he meets my eyes for a split second and then he looks at his shoes as if he is nervous but its just me no one is nervous round me im the approachable one. " What you just not gonna speak to me then" woah that came out way more aggressive than intended he is just gonna hate me whats wrong with me i never get like this. "I said hi" he says a little defensively. "sorry i didnt hear you" I say practically kicking myself. Louisa quickly introduces us and then goes on to talk to him. I look around just for something to do but i can feel someone looking at me and i turn to look at James and he is staring at me not concentrating on Louisa at all as soon as i look at him his snaps his gaze back onto her. But he was looking at me, he was concentrating on me, why?
